I stumbled across this picture by Chris Kidd in the Courier Mail on Wednesday (November 1, p. 25) and wondered what was going on. Apparently in an Australian first a prosthetic leg has been fitted to a cow. I was quite pleased when I saw this thinking that we Australians are becoming more compassionate. However dear reader, I was wrong. Upon reading the article it seems that the cow was only fitted with the prosthetic leg so its owner can keep on making money off its milk and I suppose its calves. Its a shame that we treat animals as mere commodities and the owner of poor Theresa shown above would have just as easily killed her had she not been able to effectively produce more milk for his business.

Hey Simon,
Of course they are comodities, what else are they good for!
Did you here about the horse that got put down a week before Melbourne Cup day. It was an English horse from memory, and apparently a good chance to win, not that that matters, and I thought about it and I wondered was there a need to put the horse down, I mean it just broke its leg. Last I heard bones were mendable? I have no doubt that the horse would have had a properous life given the chance.
Cheers, Nath.
I am really surprised about the excellent job that you have made in this blog, which contains very important and amazing content about "Prosthetic Cow", it allows everyone to express a variety of opinions, this website is pretty cool like kamagra jelly.
