Iowa State Fair – The Butter Cow Bleeds

Yeah, it took the artist a few hours to scrape off the paint and the butter cow was back in business. Boom! #AnimalRightsActivistFail.

All this does is encourage me to continue hunting and killing animals to eat. It makes me want to enjoy a tradition like showing animals at a State Fair. Young Americans compete to see who grew the best cow, pig, or chicken. Then after the competition is over, the blue ribbon animal is slaughtered so we can enjoy a nice marbleized-ribeye-steak or a one-inch-thick pork chop. Yummy! Farm states rock! Add some fresh sweet corn and douse it with butter, then wash it down with some ice cold milk. If that’s how to torment a member of the ALF, then bring it on.

These people are so ineffectual that is almost an insult to real terrorists to call them terrorists. Good luck Animal Rights Nutjobs getting people to sympathize with you. The butter cow covered in red paint was a brilliant idea. I am sure many people got a laugh about it while strolling the fair eating a giant turkey leg!
