I eat meat, but I don't think I have it in me to ever kill an animal. I can't even kill insects.

I still wish humane treatment of farmed animals was a thing, and I will support local meat and bison when I can. I just don't think becoming a vegetarian will help anything and I would probably die if I didn't eat any meat.

Bulls are some hardcore motherfuckers. The whole reason why bullfighting exists is because the Christian and moorish knights wanted to have dick waving contests during times of peace and the Iberian bull was the best way to prove martial prowess. If you poke a bear with a sword it will run away until cornered whereas a bull will charge into a loving lance to try and knock a man off a horse (as evidenced by the beginning of second third of every bullfight). And they won't give up until they've stomped the threat into dust so they can protect their cows.

what is it that pisses bulls off so much? i have lots of experience with cows but bulls weren't my area bc we were dairy country. like. all the dude cows were always removed and only a few were used for stud

oh

wait

lol

Funny thing is that they (only specific breeds of Spanish bulls) were just always this way and have never really been tamed like other cattle so they live on huge pastures and are cared for by humans like a bunch of kings. And through selective breeding over a thousand years are more pissed off than ever. Fun misogynist fact: the breeder tests how brave a bull is by how pissed off the mother is, not the father.

I don't like anything about iTunes at all.
Are there any Google/Android alternatives to iTunes for podcasts?
I pretty much use iTunes exclusively as a podcast management program and if I could ditch it I would.

i'm probably p hardline about the DONT EAT poo poo UNLESS YOU CAN KILL IT stuff bc i grew up in farming country and my best friend as a kid was a hare krishna. but i still think it's a pretty legit way to be bc it makes you question where your poo poo comes from and whether it's worth saving 50 cents to give a dollar to cruel motherfuckers. like i'm poor but im not so poor that i can't try to buy poo poo that isnt totally evil

The best meat I've ever had was a roasted suckling pig on a retired bullfighters ranch that he killed and cleaned that morning.

Every time I go to Spain then back to the USA I can't eat meat for about 4 months because the poo poo here makes me sick.

is this misogynist or the most misandrist breeding of all? stay tuned...

no joke tho i am petrified of cows with calves. ive never been happier than when i tried to dive over a fence, got stuck, kept getting zapped, panicked, and realised that the barbed wire was outside the electric fence.

the runt looks so sad when they're just There on the right in that pic in the middle staring sadly. do you give them extra kisses?

when i was little we got our dogge from a labrador retriever pedi breeder and my brother and i picked the runt bc she was the greatest and sweetest and kindest. her brothers and sisters had chewed her ears and bullied her so badly when we met her at 4 weeks that she had unhealed bite marks but we didnt care bc she ruled . we called her millie and she was the loveliest and sweetest dog in the world and never did what anyone told her to do but still never did anything to hurt anything except the vegetable garden

rip in peace millie you were the greatest doggie, i'm sorry we let the cat bully you so much but you could have just sat on her

they know. that's where they play keep away in when we let them in from outside, because they are all rascally little fluffbutts

sometimes i put a hand on each side of their face and flop their ears and go "fwop fwop fwop fwop fwop" over and over again. I think it confuses them.
