    Well you can stick a bicycle pump up their butt too, but that doesn't mean it's cost effective in the end. Unless you are a major corp. with your own feedyards and buy loads of bulk crap. I'll stick with my observation since corporate beef usually have institutional clients and the average beef rancher, still in the majority, tries NOT to use so much crap. If you have 100,000 head of cattle and 300 employees on any given day, I could see the worst happening. Process the cow widgets, cut costs, write off the losses on the taxes. If you have 300 head, a rancher and his hired man and a couple of kids can pay closer personal attention and have to, in order to maximize their investment. They literally can't afford to screw around with the beef, the more crap you give them the less likely they are to thrive and sickness and mortality become issues. Ironic, no? It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that like people , the more medicine you give them, the worse off they become.
    So I don't give a damn what you read in the media.

    We've always raised cattle on an open pasture and alfalfa bales.
    Anti-biotics don't "pump cattle up", it keeps infectious diseases from the herd. Although I admit, I don't do anything to the cattle I intend to slaughter for beef for myself. If you want to pump cattle up, do it the old fashioned way, a few days before market, salt their food til they get on the truck. They'll soak up water like a sponge. @ 9+ lb. per gallon, it helps tip the scales nicely for max profit. Corn? Damned if I'm gonna spend that kind of money, don't know anyone else who will either.
    Silage is usually milo based. Feedyards are kinda gross and I do not approve, but even then, they have an interest in keeping cattle alive for their clients. It is poorly run yards, indeed, that get filmed for the "feel sorry for the cows" propaganda films they use to get money from vegetarians and animal lovers. But what are they going to use, an example of the majority that clean pens, doctor their cattle and mix nutrition blends for weight gain. I would suggest that if corn is involved, it is fed during a pre market cycle. Individual farmers most likely to pasture their cattle, who can't afford the cost of feed yards, sure as shit don't feed corn. I dunno, maybe in Iowa , but I doubt it. So, how do you raise your cattle? What, you've never seen one eye to eye? Maybe you need a trip to the farm, boy. It will improve your credibility.

    Well, failing any pending solutions. Let's analyze the problem and see if there is a more feasible solution.
    What do we know about the " let's interact sexually with children" crowd?
    They have possibly the highest rate of recidivism, of any other crime. From this we can determine that this is incureable or not likely cureable.
    We have a greater interest in the good we can do for our posterity,and their development, than what we can do to to nurture a threat to their development. Due to the nature of the threat posed and the problems incurred in the psyche and sexual development pose a threat to furtherance of the affected gene pool.
    This can be seen as appropriate to the human race to "weed" the problem from the field.
    Ethically, when an animal harms a human, we put it down. You might argue that we are talking about human beings. So I will ask you the obvious, what defines a human from an animal? The set of characteristics that are self aware and and aware of the nurture of others and needs beyond ones own. The average person on the street would say a soul. I do not believe they lack a soul. I believe that if that is the concept we are reducing this to, that like many cultures beliefs in this, there are layers or multiples of souls. Some say all have two souls, an animal soul and a "human" soul. The animal soul sustains ones self, but it is selfish, it contains the bad parts of ones character and being, the human soul is giving and caring to a fault , it will neglect itself for others, thus the two produce a balance. But I think I'll just go with the set of characteristics, etc. and not drag philosophies into this.
    The Ped would argue that they do it for the children, that they love children, they would never hurt children, yet, in the end the definition of their crime is that of self gratification at the expense of a childs development. You've heard of invincible ignorance? Meet invincible self protective rationalization.
    So on one hand it is cruel to exterminate the mentally ill, but, so far , any humanitarian efforts like group homes, continued monitoring, even chemical castration (if you can call that humanitarian) have the poorly limited results you see today.
    In society, in many parts of the world, we do not , or at least try not, to spend tax dollars on murderers, those dangerous to humans, we execute them because they are useless and a burden, while we could do something proactive with our resources instead of cultivating weeds.
    I merely offered an obvious solution with the concept of distributing hunting licenses with preference ,we will say , for those injured by the actions of the offender and their families,inevitably also injured. Failing that, just putting them down with a bullet would be superior to the way we put innocent would-be pets at the pound. Humane.
    I was definitely not trolling and I would suggest to you that to nurture the furtherance of the problem is far more creepy.

    It helps insure protection of the group, that's why we have prisons for now. Once we get honestly tired of sustaining the lives of those dangerous to the group, we can eliminate the costs, which soar above $80,000 per prisoner, per year.( enough to pay off a small house, every year) Just turn them to fertilizer and recycle them into a benefit for society, composting methods, mixed with community lawn cuttings and branches, could provide fertile refreshment of soils. Federal compost could be utilized in the depleted Napa Valley. Win ,WIN!

    A list of registered offenders and a box of 12 ga. shells. All that's left is to call for an appt. with the taxidermist.
    Personally I'd love a hunting season.

    Well, yeah, but if you fix a system, don't reload it with the same players.
    The problem has always been that we had a system that required a few tweaks to be perfect, but was sound to begin with. The breaking of the system was due to fixing things that weren't broken, with the biggest example being "The New Deal" marking the snide but ironic slam of the "Repubmocrat Tyranny for the last Century". Honestly, it was just an analogy to begin with, but has proved useful to dig out the most moronic apologists and Poli-Sci students and profs for amusement and venting. Serves them right if they take their drivel too seriously. Plus, even with no real conspiracy to be proved, it turns ironically true when viewed through the lens of history AND daily media releases.
