I know this article refers specifically to the cattle population in NZ, but what about the sheep?

With the sheep to human ratio being 10:1 (http://population.govt.nz/myth-busters/myth-8.aspx) I imagine that some of those creatures can be found in some tightly packed spaces. Did you see anything that might have looked like sheep-schwitz?

I agree with Lara on that quote about committing 100%. I have so many good intentions ruined by my lack of total commitment.

Wait a minute, wait a minute…I’m pretty sure we’ve had that “So why are you a vegetarian?” conversation before and your reasons had more to do with the environment and less to do with the deplorable living conditions of American farm animals..no? Regardless, I’m always happy to hear when other vegetarians are “doin’ it for the animals.”

And yes, that spot on the 5 is very cow-schwitz. Excellent pun.

Cow-scwhitz is brilliant! I laughed hard when I read it (and groaned with disgust at the immediate smell recollection it triggered!) Nicely done, Jonah.

Interesting post Brian. I like the 100% quote and can see areas in my life where 99% (or more like 80%) results in unnecessary struggle and noise.
