As Mrs. Shawnlaw so succinctly put it.........
BITE ME........
Yep. When they come to tag my laying hens, it's Butchering Day. Hope the "enforcers" aren't squeamish. :)
From Orwell's 'Animal Farm':
(So Napoleon, with the help of his dogs, slaughters anyone who is said to be disloyal.)
'...the tale of confessions and executions went on, until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the expulsion of Jones.'
(To top it off, Napoleon outlaws Beasts of England, which had served as one of the only remaining ties between Animal Farm and old Major.)
