As some of you know Ive recently moved to Wyoming to play some ball for a school. Well on the road between Cheyenne and Torrington(where I live) in my almost brand new Pontiac GTO going 70mph at night I slammed into a cow. Now my first question, why the f### our there cows on the f#####g road? #2 Why do I have to pay for the fuckin piece of steak that I killed? and #3 since I paid for the goddamn cow do I get to have a big BBQ? This place is f#####g ridiculous I swear to god cows have more rights than ppl up here. Oh and im prolly gonna hafta get a new f#####g car bc my GTO is about fucked

NH, as the son of a farmer allow me to explain:
1)Livestock gets out sometimes, it's a fact of raising livestock. The objective is to make the fence tough enough or unpleasant enough so that they don't mess with it. However you can't really do anything to stop a 2000lb animal once it gets it in it's mind to do something.
2)That animal is more than just a piece of steak, it's someone's livelyhood. That's why you have to pay for it. Farming is(sadly) a highly leveraged industry. You put out large amounts of capital at the beginning of a season and pray you make a profit and the end.
3)If you wanna have a BBQ and the health department okay's it, go right ahead.
Condolences on the car though.

You're wondering why cows have so many rights in Wyoming? You answered your own question

He's right though. If I own a dog and it goes out and gets run over the driver doesn't have to pay me for a new dog.
Farmer needs to take responsibility for his own livestock.

ya see, that's why you Americans have low speed limits for hundreds of miles of empty land.

Yep, first thing I thought of when I saw this thread.
Loved the ending, when they just look at each other, and you can hear the drunk humping the scarecrow in the background.

Imagine a trans-american highway, with no speed limit. And similar rules. not only would american cars have to have as high a saftey standard as german cars, but they'd have to actually be able to drive at those high speeds, which'd force the US car mfr's to stop slacking with these sh###y domestic rust buckets.
That, and I'd love a super smooth road to drive my integra on at top speed.
