How can you possibly laugh at that ? The poor sheep must have suffered so
much ....No fun at all ...

It's...a sheep. I feel more for the herder whose sheep it was: loss
of wool, loss of meat on the hoof - loss of two or three meats on the
hoof since the ewe was pregnant.

I grew up in farm country. Livestock is livestock is livestock. Not
every creature on this earth is a warmfuzzypetpetlappylappy item and
more of us would benefit from remembering that, methinks. My attitude
toward LIVESTOCK has not much to do with my general personality. It
behooves (get it? behooves? harhar!) a farmer to treat his livestock
well because it represents material wealth.

Most of the rest of the world views Americans as a bit tetched in the
head because of the general "awww, isn't it cute, we musn't eat that!"
attitude toward animals that seems to have cropped up since the move
away from farm life to Life in the Big City. Hell, if Americans spent
half of what we spend on our pets to solve the hunger problem in this
country everybody would go to bed with a full belly every night and we
wouldn't need government-subsidized breakfast and lunch programs in
public schools.

I know where my food comes from and I have no problem with it. I'll
wring it's neck myself if it happens to be a fowl (foul fowl, come
hither!) but I do need help with larger items like ... sheep ...
cattle ... hogs...

Damn, now I want to find somebody to sell me a weanling calf so I can
have some dry-aged beef that isn't terribly tough or grassy.

I also grew up on a farm and everyone I know always treated all the animals
with love and respect ...I can't for the life of me imagine anyone thinking
a snake eating a pregnant sheep as entertaining ...You sound to me like a
"right ******" if you pardon the expression and surely not representative of
good old USA ....

Nah, I'd be a "cast iron bitch" thanks. Everything has to eat. The
snake got a meal, the herder lost two or three of his livestock. Ya
wins some, ya loses some, and yet the world hasn't stopped turning
because some of us are morbidly amused by a photo of something that
happened half a world away.

Our Wooly *IS* a wonderful person.....
While I didn't find the photo entertaining, I DID find JJ's caption
(here) wildly funny.
I assume you're an acrylic maeven rather than a yarn-snob?
