firstly i've put this in Agricultural Matters cos i think it's a general issue.....but mods please move if i'm wrong
secondly.....i think it's ok to be wrong during a debate provided all accept the outcome of the discussion arrives at a sorta productive outcome.....only ego and individual pride prevent this IMO
SO...i'll 'pitch an arguement' about the title.....having being involved on the other 'kansas thread' and seen counter claim to my original reaction that ,i admit, may have been 'an emotional reaction'
during 'the beast from the east' the 'victims' (sheep) were in their normal environment and were equipped for it.....however what happened was an exaggerated/extreme circumstance
during the 'kansas heatstroke' the cattle were penned in high density and ,although normally the feedlot worked. were not suited....eg black cattle absorb more heat.....in effect vulnerable because of the man made system.....i don't think in any way you could 'stretch it' as approaching a 'normal environment'
thus i'm happy ,at the moment, to condemn the 'kansas cattle keepers' whilst 'excusing' 'the beast from the east'
am i wrong?......vote 'no' to agree with me or 'yes' to disagree
