Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for September 11, 2015

“Bovicide” covers pretty much everything, since it means “the killing of a cow”.There really isn’t an English word that means “the killing of a cow by another cow”.

Yes, cows in that expired condition would surely be like fruit that has fallen from the tree. Except for bovicide, the consumer would be blameless. Either that, or this is udder nonsense.

Yes, it’s perfectly reasonable to eat cattle who have died anyway and would otherwise have to be burned or buried. In fact, I look forward to the day when most meat is cultured in vats, and real meat that was an animal once is a rare treat that you get from animals who have died of themselves or had to be put down for their own good. Rob should agree with Bucky here, since Bucky has to eat meat and Rob doesn’t want him to die.

There’s actually a thriving market legally selling recovered mammoth ivory. This has, of course, led to people selling illegal elephant ivory while claiming that it’s mammoth ivory.I imagine that the same problem would arise selling ivory from elephants that died naturally.

Rob is wearing gloves and has a sinkful of water—his patience is monumental.

I am for the enactment of that “ground-beef-breaking treaty”.

The word, Bovicide, just strikes me as funny.

Rob doesn’t have to feed Bucky beef. It’s not a cat’s natural diet. Until Friskies makes rodent- or bird-flavored cat food, feed him fish.

‘Ground-beef breaking!’ That’s a good ’un.

Call his bluff, Rob!

A vegan violin maker I know was looking into using shed deer antlers as a substitute for ivory in his violins and bows.

If only the dude would eat some real food, he might stop hallucinating about his cat speaking (and being annoying but usually right)! :-P
