“Doesn’t That Make You a Little Weazy?”

July 23rd, 2008, by The Angry Drunk

Continuing in the fine Gawker Media tradition of posting any old crap as long as it gets hits, The Consumerist today brings us the breaking news that people sell bull cocks as dog treats. Shocking, I know. In lieu of commentary, I bring you the sage words of Tom Waits.

I was a little shocked! I know you can get just about ANYTHING in this world. You can get a whale’s pancreas if you’d want one! I can get you one! But com’on, a bull’s penis! How busy they were their whole lives. And they throw it to a dog, like that, for a snack! Now, are they available here in the Los Angeles area? They are, aren’t they? Doesn’t that make you a little weazy? Makes you wanna live a long time.

Yes, Tom, yes it does.

My dogs love them to the exclusion of all other activity. I don’t have any idea what that says about them or me.

Disturbing, yes. But not in the same category as whale pancreas, etc. The animals that are killed FOR their parts (rhino horn, etc) are tragic and wasteful. The bulls that are killed for steak are dead anyway, whether or not we use the ‘sausage.’ If it isn’t dog toys, then it will be turned into sausage or cow food (yes, cows are fed cows in industrial farms — that is how mad-cow disease spreads). I’m glad that the dogs don’t know what they’re chewtoys were, but don’t see it is a moral problem. Does the bull mind?
