    The girls look happy to me. (Trust me, you dont want to make a cow angry.) Can you imagine being a cow and getting an itch? They cant scratch it, except maybe on a tree, fence post, etc, so this must feel like heaven. Moo-licious.

    You know what makes cows really happy? When you ground up some sheep and add it to its corn-based feed. Cows get so happy in fact, that they foam at the mouth and beg for more.


    Until tomacco is a real product, I think we should pile on more sheep. What's the worst that could happen?

    The only way I can picture this being figured out is that a farm was near a car wash. One day the farmer left the gate open and the cows got out. Two or three ran into the car wash and got the full brush treatment(no hot wax or little pine tree). They finally recovered all of them, but at least one of those cows now had an itch that no bull, "slow" cousin, or fence post scratch. That cow proceeded to lead escapes nightly and were always found at the car wash. The farmer, intrigued by the rash of outbreaks, decided to visit the car wash and sat down behind the big glass window w/ some chaw, a six pack of bud, and an iPod full of Shania Twain, Rascall Flatts, Carrie Underwood, and Sonic Youth. Finally after a few hours of waiting, he heard the jingle of change, and the car wash came to life. And before his eyes, he saw these cows do unspeakable things with the brushes. A new business was born.

    They look happy. I wonder what works out best in the long run. The appy cow or the electric that has to run the brush thing?

    @HJTravels: I don't suppose the electric brushing arm sucks up much more juice than the electric pumps that are used to extract milk from the cows, as well as the lighting and other electrical equipment used to facilitate the dairy farm.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: A big reason I am vegetarian is to support humane treatment of animals. You're right; too many "farms" are little more than factories treating cows as machinery confined to insanely tight spaces.


    That's why I always seek out dairy products that boast of proper treatment towards its herd. Look for phrases like "American Humane Certified" or "free ranging", possibly also "organic". Yeah, you are going to pay more--often a LOT more--but that is part of the price of treating our fellow animals with dignity and respect.


    And, btw, a side benefit of doing so is that the milk actually and noticeably tastes better. Really.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: Sorry for this one, but I really don't think cows have existential problems.

    I think the real problem is people thinking animals think like people.


    Cows not so much, because some of them really suffer in confinement... but dogs and cats...


    Studying a little bit more on how animal brain works would stop so much whinning over radical animal rights crap.
