That was what I found when I found something in the yard that I wished I hadn't. A half-eaten dead cat that had been there since the day before. I recognized the cat as the one that licked my nose the day before that.

I grew up on a farm where there were a lot of cows. Cow shit was a common thing to play with. I remember my grandfather telling me not to play with it when its fresh.
They have a lot of upset stomach, from being forced to eat something that's not their natural diet. Apparently, upset stomach is a common cause of unusually smelly shit (the shit looks worse too).
Irrelevant to whether it's the biggest chicken operation in the southern hemisphere.
Bit different with hundreds of thousands of them all kept in small cages with the shit forming immense piles of shit under the cages.

Yeah. I normally come across them when out walking for exercise because I prefer to walk in the bush outside town.
We don't get many rotting dead animals inside town, the ones that die of natural causes or get run over by a car get buried very quickly or tossed in the bin.

We had one of the reality TV series where someone in NZ managed to fall backwards from the electric fence and landed arse first in a fresh one. She wasn't too impressed :-(
I use spray bleach when they piss on the floor.
Cats are =A3100 each.
Not here they arent. They are so much in surplus here that the local council has to kill the excess that no one wants.
Doesn?t happen here.
That?s stupid advice given that it looks obscene, too easy for someone to stop on it, the paper just gets blown around and it gets riddled with flys.
Yeah, I prefer camping like that, off by myself with no dunnys around and have always buried the shit.
The assumption is that you don't shit in the middle of the trail.

Does Harris Ranch have a branch in Scotland?
One very cold winter a cat slipped into my car while I was working on it to keep warm. Arriving at my girlfriend's I found I had a passenger. She liked cats so I brought him in with me. It was an older apartment with cast iron steam radiators. For whatever reason the tomcat took to pissing on the radiators and I soon had my orders "That goddam cat goes!"
I took him home and let him out of the car. In the spring I found his corpse in the shed, presumably frozen to death during the winter.
On the cat?
You have been known to distort the truth but you're really out of bounds with that whopper. Cats can be adopted with a 79 cent can of cat food if someone isn't already begging you to take the damn thing.
You are fortunate. You don't have to look far to find a dead deer around here. A real upside to riding motorcycles is a dead deer in the August sun. Or I guess February sun for you.
Okies are, um, different... There is a reason it's fly-over country.
I'm not big on rodeo but the last one I went to was held during a rainy week and the area was deep in shit and mud. There was a definite motivation to not fall off the horse beyond any stupid trophy.
That's the hard part of running a feed operation. The diet is so concentrated to fatten them as quickly as possible that they have to be slaughtered at maximum weight before they die from it.
There was a movie back in the '60s called Mondo Cane:
One of the segments was geese being force fed with grinders shoved down their throats. The goal was essentially to give them enlarged livers for pate de foie gras. If the feed lots could figure out how to economically force food down the cows' gullets they would.
