To anyone that I may have offended due to my feeble mind not comprehending my failures of a lifetime of raising and caring for many breeds of animals and fowls. I should not have listened to my mother as I toddled along in the daily chores of caring, feeding, collecting eggs on the family farm. Then , I should never listened to my 4H leader's rantings. Then as a teenager, I should have known better then to tag along with my Veterinarian father on his ranch calls and listen to his words on the care and treatment of animals. Then upon entering the halls of higher education, I made the mistake of listening to the uninlightned education gods. Later, I continued to make my mistakes for 5 years (of 105 Senior Veterinary students each ) to show and tell them Necropsy proceedures and obtaining Biopsies from all types of deseased beasties. Then to make matters worse, I became a stockholder and employee of a Biological laboratory. There, I had to scour the countryside for any and all large breeds of cockerals and other animals, then place them into isolated coops and runs to grow them to adulthood to be perfectly healthy roosters and beasties. Then, I had the audasity to give the roosters a life sentence in indevidual cells. Then, on a monthly bases, I did my best to snuff out their life by inserting a needle into their hearts to collect their blood so that we could manufacture blood augar plates. But , inspite of my incompetent efforts, 86% refused to die as I again and again tried on a monthly bases. However, they continued to thrive and finaly died of old age. My feeble mind could not understand why the Medical Doctors, Veterinarians, and various researchers wanted their blood auger plates to be sterile. Afterall, they contaminated each plate with smears of samples taken from their patients and you should have seen the variety of bacteria that they then grew. Then they placed a variety of antibiotic discs to kill the bacteria. I could have saved them much time and money by providing them with plates with the bacteria already growing on them by collecting blood from deseased and neglected roosters. or better yet, I could have injected the roosters full of antibiotics so that nothing would grow on the plates in the first place.. By pure blind luck, I assisted in the original experiments for the development of blood typing. But what do I know, I only followed the uninlightened scientific protocal on these roosters, rabbits, cattle, horses, and sheep. For the last decade I lived in a place where the huge numbers of predators raign supreme and I haven't even seen a feather of a wild fowl much less a domesticated one anywhere near my home. So, now with a deflated ego, my mind is finally clearing of my stupid learning and is now ready to follow the wisdom to the true path of rearing chickens when we move to a new area. Upon reaching this ideal, I too will join in to bash the big, bad, greedy and heartless corporate behemuths. Again, I apologise for causing anyone any pain or inconvenience. Ta ta for now.
