Dairy Cattle Slaughtered During Record Surplus

In light of a glut of milk, the National Milk Producers Federation is paying dairies to slaughter 103,000 cows. What do you think?

Young Woman

Jane Adams,
Caring House Wife
"This seems like a waste. Why not order us American citizens to drink more milk?"

Black Man

James Smith,
Factory Laborer
"Though the circumstances are unfortunate, the cows must martyr themselves to preserve the honor of the National Milk Producers Federation. And the errant farmers should be sent to the desert for reeducation."

Young Man

Bill Jones,
Systems Analyst
"I can understand the milk producers' rage at the cows for overproducing this whitish mucus that causes acute stomach distress and spoils easily."
