Has the world gone completely mad???

Yet another research group has publicised its findings today. Believe it or not they are advising that anyone who works with cows (including vets) must not wear anything made of leather because the smell created an increase in their stress hormones. This was found to not only affect their milk output but also had a negative effect on the quality of their beef products. I think I'll have another G&T in the hope that my mind can somehow understand their reasoning but I'm not holding my breath!

Clever cows.
The humans.... not so much.
To be serious I wonder how much stress modern intensive farming causes these animals.

[Miss Mousetrousers]

Sorry my darling, and I am with you re- intensive farming, but it was just my way of doing an April Fool joke.

Nice try Miss MT but if you tell April Fools Jokes after 12pm, 'tis said that you are the fool.

I think it’s a considerate idea,I wouldn’t like people working around me wearing clothes made of human skin,or if they rolled out a humanhide rug in front of me. I totally believed that was true

[SarrissUK]

If you can do that with your knees bent, your arms up and ra-ra-ra-ing at the same time whilst packing your trunk your ID has finally been revealed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellie_the_Elephant.
