Extreme dairy farming: IotD not used, political content



In Israel, in areas bombed by Katyusha rockets, the most damage to humans comes from the ball bearings packed into the heads of the bombs, creating a splatter of shrapnel in every direction and killing anything left outside and unprotected.

The dairy farmers do their job in flak jackets and helmets.



Not in flak jackets and not in helmets, though, are the cows themselves. No dead cows appear in this shot, but six cows previously in this metal frame did. You can see the many little holes in the metal where the ball bearings went right through.



The usual process is that sirens go off to announce incoming rockets, at which point anyone still in the area goes to bomb shelters. The dairy farmers, lacking a proper shelter, have improvised this series of concrete barriers which they crawl into and thus avoid the same fate as the frame and the trapped cows.

Well, I was trying to think of something to add to UT's rather intriguing post, here, but LabRat has pretty much said it all. 10 points to Griffindor!

Depends on how you kill 'em.

Which does lead to an interesting question ... what do they do with the dead bovines? Since they weren't killed properly, they can't be used for meat, for Jews, anyway ... do they just burn the carcasses, or do they butcher them and sell them on the foreign market?

Despite being responsible for civil defense in the most dangerous areas, and despite being able to immediately fund billions in rebuilding, Hezbollah does not provide sirens, nor bomb shelters for its patrons.

Why don't they do that, Jay?

Because live martyrs aren't very useful?
