Where this law is enforced: Australia
Australia, this is so thoughtful. Imagine you’re a cow named Bessie and you’ve been happily frolicking through grassy pastures until your owner calls you over. “Bessieeee! Here Bessie!”
You run over for dinner, only the only thing being served tonight is you. The last expression on your face would be one of udder betrayal.
Maybe that’s what Australians legislators were thinking of when they outlawed naming animals you plan to eat. What would they think of our favorite pet chicken? We’re not eating her, but her name is Soup. Hopefully, Australians still appreciate dark humor.
