[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 553838, member: 1683"] Oh Boy! Oh Boy! You don't want me to [b][i]EVEN BEGIN[/i][/b] to get STARTED on this Post! I think most of you have a pretty good idea of my feelings of RADICAL show preparations on cattle, involving trimming, hair "pointing", leg fluffing, hours and hours of actually [i]LYING[/i] about what the individual animal really is NOT! A lot of the Show Preparation activities are being done by and for the 4H and FFA Young people, and the basic reasoning for that activity is jusified to help teach responsibility, technic, good sportsmanship, How to Win and HOW to lose (which is more important than How to Win!), and all of the camaraderie which is concomitant with learning how to grow up. I understand those behaviors, and in the interest of helping to form responsible citizens I concur with that protocol - TO A POINT! But when it becomes a mandated business of "Win - at all costs!" - then the activity exceeds it's purposes, and becomes a negative and a detriment, and is unjustified because it is actually teaching kids how to lie and cheat. The disgusting conditions by which some of these animals are depicted is unforgiveable! I am sure that no one on this Forum would allow their cattle to get in the horrible state that a few of them are shown to be in this particular link! As you can tell, I am pretty adament about proper animal care and conditioning! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
