"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the same
time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel
called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.
“Half of every butchered cow and a third of every butchered pig becomes
either byproduct material or waste. And “mortalities” are integral to every
feedlot and stockyard. What’s an industry to do with all this death and
gore? Call the renderer straightaway! Recycling, they call it. Lips are
exported to Mexico for taco filling; horns are made into gelatin; other
parts are fashioned into drugs, aphrodisiacs, and industrial ingredients.
Much is dried to a tacky brown powder to be mixed into chicken and pig feed.
The rest is minced, pulverized, and boiled down for cosmetics and household
products. Essentially, assume slaughterhouse byproduct is all around you.”
