  • I run 1000 cows on a 60,000 acre ranch in southern Alberta. It’s too rough to run a semi truck and trailer around on but I can haul a tri-axle Wilson gooseneck stock trailer with 20,000 lbs of cattle across it when I need to. There’s no roads through the ranch other than dirt trails so it takes a long time to travel through it and the fewer trips I have to make the better. Generally I’m moving cattle on horseback but occasionally I have to move old/sick/injured cows from a to b. Simply put, your European farms are miniscule and you don’t need the same capabilities that we do. The world is not uniform.




  • The reasoning for it is that male chickens are near worthless. They fight and injure themselves and others. They don’t taste very good and most people won’t eat them therefore they aren’t worth the feed to fatten them up for slaughter.

    The solution is to kill them as quickly and humanely as possible. The shredder looks bad but they die instantly, no pain, no suffering. Their bodies are then used in products such as dog and cat food.


  • It’s what happens with a small community. Interaction and discussion VS lowest common denominator humour for mass votes.

    We all want Lemmy to succeed, but that only means that it’ll turn back into reddit. It’s the natural cycle of social media.
