Barnyard Animals

I watched the videos Farm animals and Us and thought the articale brought up a very interesting point, that farm animals were actually very intelegent regaugdless of what people say. Being born and raised in Montana means a little when it comes to knowing a little bit about how a farm runs. Now I don't live on a farm or ranch but I have a few friends that do raise cattle, chickens, sheep and what not. Its rather amazing to think that some people have no idea what really happens to that sirloin steak before it hits there plate at the local Outback Steak house because most have no idea that the rancher that raises these animals was up every two hours in the middle of the night during calving season to make sure that the new borns were not freezing to death while he could be sound asleep in a warm bed. So for people to say that it is cruel for a farmer to raise these animals for food and no other reason they are foolish to think that the person that raises these animals doesn't establish a bond with these animals while raising them.
