Th e Scientist :The cow whisperer

Fascinating ... I'm looking at this article as a possibility to forward to one of the researchers I support, and realise that the majority of complaint is from people who seem to be dis-connected to the process of farming, seemingly convinced that all farmers are evil beasts out to deal cruelly with any animal that crosses their path. The tinyurl is to an article by J.M. Coetzee in The Age newspaper.
The more I bump into the people who keep telling me that humans are incredibly cruel to other animals the more I am struck by the number of them who seem never to have had a personal experience of living with a familial animal, a companion beast that shares their living space ... and they all seem intent on converting me to their point of view, at the point of their argument while the impression is often left that something sharper might be preferred.
