Instead of "Leave our cows alone" you can choose "Happy Holidays!", or any text you like.

About a year ago, during a stormy, sleepless night, I stumbled upon a website entirely dedicated to the problem of cow abductions. That's right! In case you are not aware of this dire situation, you should know that innocent cows are being abducted, and possibly, exploited, as we speak, or actually, as I write and you read these words.

Being a firm believer in every creature's right to live a free, dignified life, I was appalled as a result of what I read: every day, on our planet, cows are abducted, imprisoned, immobilized, forced to reproduce, milked by careless machines, used, abused and slaughtered, without any consideration for their suffering.

And yet, the moment an alien species decided to see what's so special about these mild-tempered bovines, we are up in arms, accusing them of perpetrating "cow abductions" and using OUR COWS! for god-knows-what kind of blood-curdling experiment.

Bah! I say to such hypocrisy! Abusers are notorious for being protective of their victims, aren't they?

"Hey, this is MY COW and only I have the right to abuse it!" sort of thing...

Anyway, I did get some great laughs out of the Cow Abduction website, especially when I saw photos of cows entirely dressed in camouflage gear, in order to make them invisible from the sky. In fact, I was laughing so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes, which is really my main reason for sharing all this with you.

I hope that, shoud you wish to see for yourself what this is all about, you'll get some good laughing out of it like I did, since laughing is very, very good for our health.

Oh, yes, of course! This year, I decided to create a Greeting Card that addresses the Cow Abductions issue.
