Does not quite fit, but too funny to pass up

Ok, rule number 1 when you write a blog is only add things that pertain to the subject. However, I have to break that rule because of something I read this morning that puts all of my other CBC blogs into crystal clear perspective. I have been writing for some time now about the ignorant and racist comments to article on the CBC website. After a reader's response to an article about the government's new rules for mink...yes...mink farms, I started to think "Ahh..this explains EVERYTHING!" Are you ready for this? I am still shaking my head at this one:
"I am so glad that chicken, pork, beef, lamb, fish etc that I purchase at the supermarket don't cost the lives of any animals like happens if I purchase from a farm. All farms that raise animals for food or any other reason should be outlawed, they're not needed in this modern world when we can just go to one of the bigger stores and purchase our meat there."
I had to read this 3 times, go have a shower (to make sure I was awake and not dreaming) and come back to read it once more...yup..still there, I am awake. This sheds a little more light on where all these other comments are coming from
