Why?

CHICAGO — An animal rights group wants Illinois to install highway signs in memory of cattle killed when trucks hauling them flipped in two separate wrecks.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has asked for permission to buy the markers, one in suburban Chicago and one northwest of Peoria.

poor cows,probably were on a field trip to some happy bovine amusement park for the day when their poor lives were suddenly taken from them.Talk of the pasture for weeks no doubt

What about the yeast in the organic seven-grain bread? You are talking about billions of organisms, and it would be quite specieist of you to assume they are not sentient. And don't get me started on the rights of the organisms that culture the yogurt.

I believe that cows are sentient, and what they are thinking is..."I hope Marcopolo likes the juicy ribeyes and sirloins and hamburgers I hope to provide him."
