Or for that matter other "mainstream" livestock?

(Yes, we already know I have none, pick another joke.)

They do.

Even plants have feelings. Seriously. There has been experiments done to prove this.

Its very interesting stuff.

I heard about that, the whole screaming plant thing. What are people to eat if you can't even eat plants?

not cows, cows are really stupid

sheep are stupid

goats might have feelings, they are kinda smart

pigs are very smart, they have some feelings

Cows only have feelings in threads about SK

There's a cow at UCD with a hole in its stomach, I'll give her a squeeze and ask next time.

you never lived on a farm have you?

cows don't have those kind of instincts, calves aren't left with thier mothers these days, so that type of stuff is getting bred out of the common feed lot/dairy cows
