I love reading maps of the world. Did you know there’s a Stan District? Kyrgyzstan’s in there. Population: about 4.25 million. Sheep, that is. This is a country with about 5.2 million people. That’s almost, quite literally, a sheep for every man woman and child in the country.
Here’s where it gets weird: most Kyrgyzstan citizens probably don’t travel much. I’m going to guess they don’t all have passports. However, under a proposed law, every sheep will have a passport.
People sometimes ask me why I don’t spend my energy fighting, say, child poverty or the Grammys instead of this “pointless” vegan thing, but don’t you think it’s a little weird that they spend their energy (three times a day, plus shopping) supporting an industry that does things like make sure there are more passports for sheep than there are for people in some countries?
C’mon, that’s a little weird. You gotta give me that one.
