<i>"...al-Qaida sneaking onto Idaho farms..."</i>

There are some things al-Qaida doesn't need to do. We're perfectly capable of killing ourselves with food, thank you very much.

So given the choice between not abusing animals, and buying state legislation to help hide the abuse of animals, they went with the more expensive option. Because ... they like to abuse animals, maybe? This one's hard to figure.

I bet they managed to bitch about excessive gub'mint regulations even as they handed over the money.

Seriously, there are some sick mofos in Idaho. Anyone who would abuse a mild-mannered animal like a cow has serious mental issues. These are the same types of people that develop into family abusers and serial killers. And soulless factory farm owners. But now finding and stopping these people is against the law? In summary: Stupid law with dangerous consequences.
