Today we learn that there are now over 6 million cows in New Zealand. If you've ever stood, as I did yesterday, behind a cow as it's evacuating it's bowels and bladder, you'll be feeling rather anxious at the news that cow numbers have reach those dizzying heights and will feel worse when you consider the dairy industry's plan to rack up those numbers considerably in pursuit of more production.
Jordan Wyatt at Coexisting with Nonhuman Animals too, is considering the lot of cows with this post in which he examines the celebrations of his local supermarket. I've taken, unbidden, his photo to illustrate this indicative post and he'll doubtless notify me if he thinks I've transgressed on his intellectual property.
