This is in reference to a Nov. 13 letter, “Protect Cougar.”

Jeffery Smolla, you truly use eloquent writing, however, too bad it was spent writing the mindless dribble one only sees in a Monty Python sketch.

This isn’t meant as personally as it seems. It is just the string of conversation was along the lines of a bit silly.

What was the focal point of your gripe (letter)? Animal rights? Vegetarianism? National interest in our economy? The rituals of the slaughter house?!

I can hear the farmer now as he chants over the virgin cow, preparing to sacrifice her to the gods … get out of here!

By the by, what is meant by “mystic bobcat”? What is so mystical about an animal killing for it’s food? Are you so baffled by this act that it appears mystical to you?

Quit your banter. Who cares what “Old Major” said about anything, he never existed (unless you live in the mystic world).

Am I being too stinging? I hope so. Save the fancy speech till you know how to use it, quit trying to impress us.

One last sting. As for your “nod to the gods,” why don’t you try nodding off and getting some sleep, for it appears you can use it.
