Attention Cattlemen

 

Driving around the hills of Springville one might view all the

beautiful cattle ranches we have here. What a sight, rolling hills,

big oak trees, blue sky, Tule River, and views of the great Sierra.

Peaceful cattle grazing upon our loucious grasses without a care in

the world. Sounds wonderful to me, untill yesterday,when 2 big Black

Angus bulls decided they didn't care for each other. Bulls can make

some very strange sounds sometimes, but these sounds where just

different enough to catch my attention . I need to take a better look

at what is going on. Bull down looks like broken leg to me, he is

trying to crawl away from the other 6 bulls that are stomping him to

death. This is not a pretty sight, the downed bull is moaning ,

groaning, and trying to get up,but, his rear legs are not working.

The other bulls are continuing their war. I must alert the owners!

I'm told they know about it and will be out in the morning. My

thoughts are now becoming very bothersome. Is this going to go on for

the next 12 hours or untill the bull is dead?

 

Will this lead to another fight among the bull family? Will there be

another calamity? No, this is not right, the owner must come and

solve the problem and put the poor guy out of his misery, he has to

do it now, not 12 hours from now.

 

Later, I notice the cowboy, he is looking at the downed bull.Then

they have decided to remove all the other bulls. This is great I'm

thinking, problem solved. The other bulls are moved from the pasture

and all is quite. Now what?

 

This is not the good part. There is nothing that can be done for the

wounded creature,the phone rings, I have been told that things have

been taken care of and the butcher will be out in the morning!!!!!

 

I just want to tell you that this beautiful bull that grazed under

the great oaks layed suffering for 14 hours waiting for the butcher.

Now, I bet you really feel good hearing this. Why did the bull lay in

pain suffering for 14 hours when he could have been put to sleep last

night? MONEY, MONEY

 

If the old guy was put down last night, his hamburger won't be any

good tomarrow. So you see, this innocent creature, raised by us layed

in misery all night long for the almighty dollar.....

 

I wonder about people that treat animals with this disrepect, I

wonder if they treat their own mankind like this? I lost sleep

thinking about it, I bet the bulls owner didn't blink a lash.

 

Hey, all you good old boys hope you enjoy your steak tonight.
