Re: Moo
That picture kind of brought to mind a passage from <span style="font-style: italic">The Restaurant at the End of the Universe</span> about a genetically engineered cow that introduces itself to the diners (it <span style="font-style: italic">wants</span> to be eaten) and then after they decide what cut they'd like "nips off to shoot itself"...promising to be humane. If you've read Douglas Adams, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't...what the <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">F</span></span> is wrong with you?
Since I moved out here to Wyoming I've had mulies, pronghorns, sage hens, and rabbits come and watch me shoot. At a long-range Cowboy Action match a few years ago we had a rabbit come and sit directly in front of the shooting position. We were firing from kneeling or seated and the muzzle of our Sharps and Rolling Blocks were only about a foot from the stupid bunny's head...I mean close enough that his fur would ruffle from the muzzle blast. Every time we popped a cap he would drop his ears down to the side and then pop 'em back up.
Animals is weird...
