"So I was watching The Spin Room (I am a CNN whore) and it turns out that in parts of Austria these cows go up into places where they're not supposed to go for some reason, and the owners have to pay upwards of $900 to hire a helicopter to come in and get the cow down. But it only costs $32 to stuff the cow full of dynamite and blast it to shit. Well this leaves cow innards strewn about, which gets annoying. So they passed a law that it is now illegal to blow up a cow. Talk about a win for facism. I mean what kind of a world is it where an honest, hardworking man can't blow up his own cow with dynamite? Sucks I tell you. The thing I'm not sure of is if this covers all domestic animals or just cows. For example is it legal to blow up a yak or a goat in Austria? Must do more research. Similarly is it illegal to "put your pet to sleep" with dynamite in this country? Is it legal if you call it research? If you call it research will this require you to shave your pet or put some kind of paint marking on it before you blow it up (to measure scatter maybe?)"
