PETA pushes for tribute to honor cows killed at stockyards
An animal rights group wants a memorial to slaughtered cows erected at the site of South St. Paul’s stockyards.
In a Monday letter to Greg Miller, president of the company that is developing 27 acres of land vacated by Central Livestock last month, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals urges that he “recognize this site’s historical significance and honor the millions of cows auctioned off for slaughter.”
This is one place where I’m happy to jump in with the Darwinians…we evolved further therefore we get to make the rules, we win.
I could get behind this idea, but I’d have three caveats:
1) The statue must depict the animal with wings;
2) It must also be adorned with a halo; and
3) An inscription at the base, visible from the road, must clearly read: “Holy Cow!”
If they do all that, I don’t really have any beef with them…

A couple more modifications and maybe we could get Buffalo Wildwings to sponser it?
I wonder if there are any old Big Boy statues left. That I could see.
