Seems Like The Farmer Who's Responsible For 70 Dead Cows Is The Worst Farmer In All Of The History
HOWELL, MICH.
A Michigan farmer charged with animal cruelty after about 70 cows were found dead on his properties has been sentenced to 15 days in jail and ordered to pay nearly $20,000 in restitution.
Sixty-one-year-old Keith E. Huck Jr. of Livingston County's Cohoctah Township learned his punishment Monday after earlier pleading guilty to reduced charges, including animal abandonment and failure to bury a dead animal.
Full story here.
It’s not nice to kill animals. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it many times again. It’s not a thing we’ll ever support. Especially cows. Cows are so gentle, so dumb, and what would a cow ever do to you? (Okay apparently cows kill a decent number of people every year, who knew? Ignore my last point.)
Regardless of the crime here, this farmer may be the worst farmer in all of history. I mean this guy is bad. Really, really bad. Isn’t being a farmer supposed to be hard? Every time someone brings up farming, I’m like, “man that seems like a really hard profession to pursue.” And then we’ve got Ol’ McDonald over here just offing his cows right and left. Don’t those things cost money, dude? People are out there sweating to make ends meet and you’re trying to get five stars in Cow GTA. What are you doing dude? How are you so bad at this?
I feel like rule number one of farming is that animals are better alive. Seventy cows is MANY cows. Muchas vacas as our friends to the south say. I totally understand one or two dying, but seventy is absurd. You'd think you'd figure out what you were doing wrong after, I don't know, twenty or something. I know I’m ignorant but cows do not seem like terribly difficult animals to manage. You are truly terrible at keeping cows alive at that point. Point towards food and water, let roam, repeat- I don’t know this doesn’t seem like rocket science.
Sure you could argue that at some point this guy wasn’t trying to keep cows alive any more, but in that case you’ve chosen truly the worst profession. Maybe you’re a cow serial killer but then joke’s on you because you are down some serious cash. So which one’s it going to be, my guy? Are you the least frugal cow serial killer of all time or should you have spent more time on Farmville before graduating to the real thing?
