I had heard through another person that several animals had been
destroyed by the incident. Releasing a herd of horses in a developed
area is a stupid thoughtless move on the part of the AR's and rest
assured it did indeed happen. The article states that the animals were
injured not destroyed. However they guy's jeep was severely damaged as
was the golf course they ran loose through.

Yes, it is a highly sarcastic self-depricating article, making fun of
anti-vegetarian stereotypes and arguments. Not for humourles idiots
like you.

Next time, stick to Superman comic books. Or join Peta.

You mean when he says that she is smarter than he and is a successful

"Humor columnist is sort of the brain surgery of writing."

He is a humour columnist, you moron. This is humour! Do you understand
the concept?

What "rich contries"? Brasil and Argentina have the highest beef
consumption in the World. Pretty much everybody, including the poor
countries other than those in India and Africa, eat lots of meat.

All these stories that meat consumption was invented by European
imperialists, colonialists and capitalists in the 19th century are
lies.

Moreover, if nobody produced any food for animals, wouldn't those
animals die of hunger? Of course they would.

If humans didn't raise cows/bulls for meat and milk and left them
alone, the cows would die out in a matter of a few years.

But you don't care that hundreds of millions of animals would die. To
you, it's better to see 100 million animals die from hunger and
predators, that to allow one human to eat one piece of steak.
