it's a gruesome world we all take part in. have your say while you can, ultimately we all end up like the cows.

Yup Beavis. Sad but tru, sad but tru...unless you happen to believe there's more to us than returning to dust. Buster I hear ya. Indonesia = vast majority of muslim faith - I think animals killed for food have to be killed in a certain manner (Halal) I could be wrong tho - this may only be applicable to a more severe segmentation of the faith- can anyone correct me?. Striking pic though...

Most Muslims I know will eat Halal meat even if they don't go to the mosque - even our local Nandos displays a 100% Halal Meat sign.

They will also eat meat displayed as Kosher - I think the animals are killed in the same way. Halal requires a single stroke across the throat and the animal is left to bleed.

There's a lot of blood in that picture, and I feel a little sorry for the guy cleaning it all up. He could really use a wet/dry shop vac. But I suppose he will manage with a small sponge. It will just take a while.

I have to admit that I don't really feel anything for the dead cows. I just see a pile of meat in the picture. We are much worse in the US for the way we treat our cows, by the way. The life of a cow in a feeding lot is not very good.

I like lobster, and I have steamed them alive many times. I expect to do it again in the future. Am I worse than the people who killed these cows?

Me thinks the sponge is really a sharpening stone.

I think you are right. I first though he was cleaning the floor, but you're right. He's sharpening a knife. There's even an empty cup of water next to him that he used to wet the stone.

A whet stone is a stone selected for sharpening knives and tools because of it's properties. A whet stone is usually used wet with water or oil to prevent the tiny particles of metal from clogging the pores of the stone, thus rendering it useless.
Just concentrate on that and forget the Marlon Brando diet.
