Mad cows or Bad cows?

So why exactly does the US Department of Agriculture need a force kitted out like your friendly neighborhood SWAT team? IS livestock shooting back now?

  1. Keeping those varmints away from the crops? Or, who knows what those genetically-modified foods could lead to?

    A few years ago, I had to politely disarm two EPA agents who wanted to check on a stream behind my correctional facility.

    It boggles the mind.

  2. Nahh. Those farmers need to grow more corn to make more ethanol. Shouldn't we be drinking that stuff instead of burning it for fuel?

  3. Unicorns. USDA agents can handle cows, but if there are any unicorns in the herd, you really need burst fire capability to put them down. Don't let the stories fool you; unicorns are fast, vicious, and bloodthirsty.

    1. Heh....you bring up a good point. Don't tell the USDA about the Pegasus [Pegasi?]...they'll start asking for Stingers.
