UD‘s pretty sure she’s on the side of Green Mountain College in this dispute about whether to slaughter and then sustainably eat two oxen who’ve had to be retired from the fields.
But she knows she’s enjoying some of the things people on and off campus are saying.
Off-campus enemies of the slaughter and eat approach are, say the provost, “at war, and they don’t take prisoners.”
A student notes: “It’s funny that it’s blown up in such a way, because on any other farm anywhere, this isn’t even a conversation that you would begin to have. It’s something that animals get to a certain point in their lives and they become food. And that’s just how it’s been for years, you know, decades.” Millennia, actually.

One of the hardest things for me about going to Rice was getting used to barbecued beef. Brisket. Ugh.
