Let me tell you a personal story of the depression and animal killing...LincolnNebraska » 06 Apr 2022, 6:04 pm » wrote: ↑ Piece of **** FDR killed farm animals in the 1930s. Everything that imbecile touched turned to crap, and now he's hailed as some hero.
This won't be any different.
My grandfather was a sheep rancher. During the depression the government was buying up sheep producers' lamb crops because there was no demand for them because no one had any money. They would dig huge holes in the earth, slaughter the lambs, then bury them. My grandfather got the idea to start trading his mutton lambs for his neighbors' ewe lambs. When he had more sheep than he could run on the land he had, he could easily lease more land from banks that had repoed that land.
When WWII broke out the price of sheep, their meat and wool went through the roof. He had so many sheep that he sold enough to buy 1280 acres with enough sheep left over to stock it. He became a wealthy man during WWII.
Even as a young boy, my Dad questioned why they slaughtered the sheep and buried them instead of shipping the meat north to the big cities where people were starving.
Even then, **** the government did did not make sense.
