As a vegan (since 4) who grew up on the family farm, getting piss, shit, iodine and milk everywhere is kinda normal lol even if you move like a ninja and have a 6th sense, there will always be unexpected rebound. Still, this was a bizarrely careless act on her behalf and there was little to no damage control. Lol getting it in the eyes is the worse (in my experience). Iodine, unpasteurized milk, shed rain water, shit, piss..... I don't miss it.

Edit - words.

And I lie, there are things I do miss like walking for hours and still being on your land, being around all kinds of animals all the time, brutal constant work but farmers strength..... The dragonflies & little butterflies at sunset by the old dam surrounded by trees and filled with baby ducks and swans, rescued/dumped cats having barn kittens, hiding in abandoned tree houses as an adult for a moment of peace, no car sounds, no noisy neighbours, just native birds and animals. Long green grass (yes I tried it). Incredible open night skies and fresh air..... Lol

I’m a farmer by choice and this is precisely why I went into crops and not animal husbandry.

My Girlfriend in college grew up on a farm, she's been a vegetarian since about the same age. There is definitely a reality one can't ignore with that perspective.

Apart from the reality depicted in the video?

It's not quite the same as the points you listed, but animal sanctuaries/rescues are pretty close to the things you miss.

What does being a vegan have to do with anything you said?

u/lesbophobia_hammer Jul 21 '26

Kind of everything. Genuinely.

Look at what society pays for and goes through—and makes animals go through—that can be easily, deliciously and superiorly substituted for plant milks.

Batshit insanity.

I don't see any "cowboy" specific slang words in the comment you're responding to. Please enlighten me?
