We grilled a nice rib eye steak on the gas grill. I have to confess that I cooked it a little bit past the medium rare that I was aiming for, but it was delicious. There was still some nice pinkness to it. My wife had par boiled some heritage carrots that were finished on the grill and she steamed some broccoli. She had said something about asparagus but apparently that translated to brocolli. Dessert was a raspberry rhubarb cheese cake for me and a gluten free chocolate caramel square for her.

It was a grilled Hebrew National beef (of course) hot dog here.

A bit extra tortured during slaughter, you mean?
I don't know I wasn't there. But if animals are not slaughtered for meat and other by-products they would overpopulate and die of starvation. Animals know nothing of birth control, all they do is eat and reproduce.

Very valid consideration. I can just imagine the streets overrun with cows and goats wandering around. You go to the market and can't park because the lot is loaded with sheep, pigs and a flock of chickens.
Think Teddy Roosevelt and the Grand Canyon Deer population fiasco:

In the highly romantic times of the park’s inception, predators of the area had a bad reputation. Anything that could harm life in the canyon was a threat, even if it was part of the life itself. Theodore Roosevelt was highly influential on these matters. He loved the mule deer of the park (mainly for their game value) and made efforts to have predators like mountain lions, coyotes, wolves, and bobcats killed off to protect the deer. This went horribly wrong. The deer became wildly overpopulated and did not have a food source large enough to sustain them. Public outcry was massive when guests saw deer dying of starvation. To solve this, the forest service allowed hunting again in
1924 to try to control population. This angered people further because it went against the exact values of a national park. They also attempted moving some through the canyon to the South Rim. Community members like western author Zane Grey and director DW Griffith, Navajo Indians, game wardens, and Forest Service personnel gave it a good attempt as well. Apparently taming and herding wild deer was not as easy as it seemed. The deer drive of 1924 would have been an incredible tale, and an even better movie (as Zane and Griffith were planning), if it hadn’t turned out to be a complete failure. Other measures like truck and air transport to the south rim were attempted in the late
20s. Trap and ship methods were employed again in the 40s, taking them this time to Desert View. By the 50s, Arizona Game and Fish was put in charge of transferring surplusses to southern Arizona.
Think of India where cows roam free and of course that enticing aroma of dung everywhere.

It's cow s*it. It doesn't smell that bed. The bonus is that they can put it in gardens for fertilizer or they can dry it out and use it for cooking.
Pig s*it is much worse. Chicken s*it is also not reminiscent of perfume.
Hammmy - mind your siblings' feelings please!
