angkor writes "'How will Earth look 5 million, 100 million, even 200 million years from now?' Fantasic and fun speculation from Animal Planet. It's the work of Dougal Adams, who started this idea years ago in the out-of-print After Man: A Zoology of the Future."

    the scripts for the shows are probably all written by the Republican National Committee, who is putting this tripe out there to sway more people towards the fundamentalist christian view.

    You think animals are bred to be tasty? Hell no. They are bread to have a lot of meat. Have you ever raised your own food? It tasts much better when animals get fresh air and actually have a chance to live past 3 months old.

    ...And not pumped full of drugs and not crammed into crewl conditions like people in a nazi concentration camp. I oftern wonder how many people would become vegans once they knew what really went on in the livestock industry.

    I had organic, free-range pork sausages once. You could just smell the difference when they were cooking.
