“Agriculture isn’t destroying the planet — agriculture is feeding it.” — Activists vs. Agriculture

What’s worse than an anti-ag activist?  An un-informed anti-ag activist.  This week, we’re going to focus on a heavily d

So when the Golden Globe awards are going meatless to make a statement about saving the environment with less animal agriculture (9% impact), evidently someone is giving them the wrong information. Maybe the Golden Globe awards should be done via Skype, to save on the transportation (28.9%) impact on the environment.

I’m honestly starting to wonder if oil companies started the rumor that agriculture is killing the planet to distract gullible suburbanites.

Australian ag hit hard by bushfires

Millions of sheep and cattle could be affected by wildfires ravaging southern Australia.

Livestock losses across South Australia are in the thousands, and the figure is growing due to smoke and heat as a bushfire crisis deepens, Australia’s Minister for Agriculture Bridget McKenzie said Friday. However, she urged regional communities to continue to prioritize personal safety, even as concern for livestock grows.

The Girgentana is a breed of domestic goat indigenous to the province of Agrigento, in the southern part of the Mediterranean island of Sicily. The name of the breed derives from Girgenti, the name of Agrigento in local Sicilian language. There were in the past more than 30,000 head in the hills and coastal zone of the province. Today, however, this breed is in danger of disappearance. The Girgentana goat has characteristic horns, twisted into a spiral form. It has a long beard and a primarily white coat with grey-brown hair around the head and throat. It has a good production of high-quality milk.

PEOPLE ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DOGS MASCULINITY

HES A DOG

[jimmyfury]

no you don’t understand. People freak the fuck out if you don’t enforce human gender roles on dogs. They get fucking belligerent. I work in a pet store and the number of times people have gotten LIVID with me for not just automatically assuming their dog not only required but personally wanted the most stringent enforcement of human gender norms is mindblowing.

People demand dog shampoos that smell “masculine” because “He’s a boy he doesn’t want to smell like flowers” even though he’s a dog and if he had his way he would smell like duck poop. And those shampoos exist! That’s the worst part! There’s enough demand for dog shampoo that smells like Axe body spray that they exist and they sell well.

Or the seemingly nice old lady that shouted “PINK! OBVIOUSLY! SHE’S GIRL SHE HATES OTHER COLORS!” at me when i asked what color harness she wanted for her lapdog. Even though her dog can’t actually see the color pink and does not now and will not ever give a single flying dog fart what color her harness is.

[lesbian-lizards]

Even our pets have to deal with our gender socialization bullshit.

[mcdyke-deactivated20171112]

I work in a pet store. Can confirm. If I don’t know the sex of the dog, and say, I pick up a blue lead to show the customer it’s different uses, I’ll get “well she’s a girl, so” and I’m like? Um? I’m just showing you it’s functions, there’s like 20 different colours here you can choose from?

And my manager wants us to separate boys coats/accessories and girl coats/accessories for accessibility for the customers……. like…….?

[missanthropicprinciple]

??????? They’re dogs.

[scifinut]

This. Is. BULLSHIT. Also, when I worked at a grooming salon, one groomer would bring in her family’s dogs. Poms, the lot of them. They all got bows. Even the boy. He was a goddamn beautiful dog. Customers got mad. About a boy dog wearing bows. A boy dog THAT WAS NOT THEIR DOG wearing bows. Let that sink in.

[republicansareahategroup]

Actually just like a week ago someone got testy with me because I put my female chihuahua in a blue polo shirt and they were like “she’s a girl she looks like a boy in that” and I was just like… She’s a dog.

[actualdisasterbi]

I am so tempted to put the biggest fucking pink bow I can find on my dog and parade him around the neighborhood. 

Fuck this gender roles bullshit.  He’s a 12 year old dumbass who sometimes falls down the ONE (1) step on our porch because he gets too excited and forgets that he has back legs that don’t work right (vet says it’s a degenerative nerve thing, common in older labs).  HE WOULD GLADLY ROLL IN HIS OWN SHIT IF WE LET HIM - HE COULDN’T GIVE TWO FUCKS IF HE IS IN A BOW OR A BANDANA, I PROMISE.

[queerautism]

My puppy wears bandanas sometimes, including a really cute pink one with white hearts that I love. One time this old lady at the park was absolutely BAFFLED that I would put a pink thing on my Boy Dog. Literally accused me of trying to confuse people, asked why I’d put that on him. I was just??? It’s cute and I like it the puppy really couldn’t give less of a shit

[twentyghosts]

My cat Duarte is male and he wears a pink collar with a tag that says “Beautiful Angel Princess” on the side that doesn’t have my contact info, because he’s my beautiful angel princess obv, and it throws the vet staff for a LOOP every time

[teapotsahoy]

People get upset when I walk boy dogs with my hot pink leash (because I lose leashes, so I like them highly visible. Like,

one, maybe this dog has Victorian gender norms, and considers pink very masculine? two: it’s not the dog’s leash, it’s mine.

[speciesofleastconcern]

People putting gender norms on house pets is wild. They’re just living cuddle bears they don’t have gender.

[thathighclassbitch]

The person who grooms our dog always puts little bows on his harness. Adorable.

[how-to-train-your-writer]

[madgastronomer]

My evil grandmother once told me I shouldn’t put a purple collar on my boy dog because people would think he was gay.

[mogtheforgetfulhuman]

O fugk not a gay doggee

[farmmefatale]

Dogs (and other animals) will often exhibit homosexual behavior. I’ve had male dogs that mounted each other for no reason other than (I guess) they wanted to. I did not give them pink collars and leashes, either. If your dog acts *gay*, it’s not because he has a pink leash, its because he’s being a dog.

It’s not just dogs, either. They way we tell if cows are in season is if they start mounting each other. If a cow stands still while another tries to mount her, she’s ready to be turned out with the bull. Bulls also exhibit this behavior with other males.

This is why I always chuckle when people say “homosexuality isn’t natural”. Yeah it is, animals exhibit these behaviors all the time.

Basically, most farm animals are bisexual. So, feel free to adorn your dogs, goats, cattle, and sheep with any color you wish. It will not make a difference,  and you can irritate homophobes with your new knowledge. 

If I’ve gotten anything wrong, let me know, I’m mostly basing this off my practical agricultural knowledge.
