Wanting to expand my cow herd, I talked to a local veterinarian.

I asked if he could transition (gender-affirming care) my bull calves into heifers so they would be cows in a couple of years.

He mentioned surgery and hormones but said they could never reproduce.

I concluded short term they would just be a novelty, long term they would not contribute to the food supply or the survival of the world in general.

We reasoned it’s a waste of time to deal with this nonsense when there are important positive opportunities.

There was mention of pain and suffering, an oath of some type.

Out of time, we didn’t get into animal rights or the ethical treatment of animals.

A little research indicates that the age-old Hippocratic Oath for doctors has been revised for abortion and surgery.

That should let the party of death, destruction and deception off the hook.
