FFA: The Blue Jacket Cult

"Of all the animals, man is the one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it." -Mark Twain

Our topic for today is FFA (Future Farmers of America). So grab your mason jars filled with moonshine and strap on your cowboy boots! Let's get this barn party started!

Central California is land infested with livestock and produce. Unfortunately, FFA members come with the territory if you plan on inhabiting one of these ridiculous cow towns. It is easy to spot one of the members. They travel around in packs, like some demented cult. With their blue jackets, lifted trucks, and the annoying sound of country music nearby- how can you miss them?

The entire process is quite sick. Each member has their choice of livestock. They take care of them as if they are their own pets. Feed them, bathe them, and some even name them.

Top 3 Offensive Livestock Names I've Herd (hahahaha):

1) Bacon Bits
2) Dinner
3) Money

Then they fatten them up (because the animals are sold by the pound) and auction them off. They parade them around on stage like a piece of meat, literally- then sell their 'pets' to the highest bidder.

This gives an entirely new look at 'dirty money'. When you take a living, breathing creature and sell it for profit- you aren't any better than a pimp. They do the exact same thing. Maybe they don't see the blood on the money they gladly accept?

It is hard to comprehend how the majority of the FFA members feel no connection to their animals. They raise them as they would any other pet, but then give them the (cowboy) boot for a quick buck. Household pets wouldn't be in the same position as their livestock. They wouldn't put a price on Old Yeller; Lassie; or Beethoven. But as soon as Bessie; Wilbur; and Seabiscuit come along all they can see are dollar signs. $$$$$$$. It's disgusting and corrupt.

If proudly parading the animals on stage so they can quicken their inevitable death wasn't enough... the FFA also include the animals in their twisted games- like Cow Pie Bingo. In this game, a bingo chart is drawn in chalk in a field. Then a cow is placed in the area of the chart to see where it is going to drop it's 'cow patty/pie'. Individuals are allowed to bet on which square they believe the cow will crap on, and whoever picks the correct square receives a prize. It's demeaning to animals and a sick activity to participate in. I wonder how members of the FFA would feel if the roles were reversed, and they were substituted for the game. I can see it now- FFA Pie Bingo: See where the blue jacket cult drops their dump! I'm sure they wouldn't be as amused by this activity if they were the ones shitting on a bingo chart- exposed to everyone.

The FFA would be screwed if animals were to ever take over. Can you imagine if it went all Animal Farm up in this bitch? I'd love to see Bessie parading a blue jacket jerk on stage, and see how much they go for.

I understand that there will always be a demand for livestock. They are beneficial to society in many ways. Regardless, I will still find the objective and activities of the FFA corrupt. It shouldn't be socially acceptable to put a price on ANY living creature. Animals are aren't human, I know. But they have a brain and heart, just like us. They don't deserve to be treated like a piece of meat- even if that is their fate.

It's simple, ladies and gentleman. Put yourself in the animals hooves (shoes). Treat them with some dignity since their days are numbered. I highly doubt you would want to be put in the situations you make them endure. So give them a fucking break. Stop dressing them up for your 'Ladies and Lads' competition; don't make them shit on a bingo chart; and stop using them as a form of amusement. What goes around comes around- I'd hate to see your cow bite you in the ass.

Until next time, peace out bitches. =)
