Cow-Killing Heat

California's record heat isn't only killing people, as Clara notes; it's also doing a number on livestock. Cows are dying by the dozens - so many, in fact, that local rendering plants can't even keep up, leaving carcasses rotting in farmers' fields. That'll make for a nice visual in the sequel to "An Inconvenient Truth".

It's always a shame to see such precious mouth watering meat go to the worms. But look on the bright said cows are stupid and more like plants than animals anyway.

Reply to Robert,

Cows are not stupid! There is a man here in Holland who does a circus act with cows and he can make them do anything that elephants can do in such a show.

its a damn shame what he does to those cows to make them do their tricks. it would be more humane to just eat them.

actually...i'm just kidding. i'll reconsider my opinion that cows were plants. thank you. even though you totally ruined my unique vegan eating habits
