"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

People eat guinea pigs where they live, in the UK people often keep rabbits for the table. You couldn't domesticate a monitor lizard, they would eat you, same with wild alligators and crocs. We are prey animals to them, as others are to us. Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to Earth |

AND SOME ARE MORE COMPLIANT THAN OTHERS. Afterall, COWS are docile peaceful creatures for the most part, but other similar large animals that could fulfill the same requirements of food and leather like Buffalo are not. Why work harder than necessary? |

Why work harder than necessary? You are right, but say you have a monoculture threatened by a pest...or large, fallow lands that you can't utilize for your livestock...or maybe only for your current livestock. |
