I wanted to say Big Mac's, but it wouldn't fit in the title box.

@Daryl Johnson: My wife won't eat tacos or any other kind of beef after we've been out and I've taken some photos like this.

They sure do have that mournful look of being resigned to fate, poor things. Hope they make it to next Tuesday, at least.

Good one. Love the sentiment.

@LauraS: In my old age I'm becoming more and more of an animal lover. My wife couldn't be a rancher because she'd want to keep all the cattle as pets.

They'll look more appetizing in foam and saran wrap on the supermarket shelf.

@JoeB: If you're into veal, or, remembering one of Grant's recent images, Veal Bruisettes.

ha ha .. they are so sweet :)) Very, very neat shot :))

I do not know why but caws like me a lot . When I go to the farm, Mennonite farm, all caws are coming to the wall and staring at me .. I have so many shots of them , I love them :)

@MARIANA: I'm told by ranchers here that they come because they're hoping you're going to feed them. However, I think they're just curious, or some might say, nosy. It's more comforting to believe the first reason --they're looking for food because it's much easier to justify killing and abusing something that has no thoughts, feelings, or curiosity.

They are much to lovely and beautiful to end up as a hamburger! Beautiful photo of the numbers 8 and 9 with their mum!

Oh how sad...food for thought..

@MrsAmber: A pun? British humor? After all, Britain does rule the English speaking world in satire.

Amir from Tehran, Iran

An if they knew that, they would have stop making babies. I gave up on meat a year or two a go. My culture is heavy on animal products and I had to almost let go of all my national/regional food altogether as a result.

Beautiful shot.

@Amir: Have greatly reduced my own intake of beef. Haven't had the discipline yet to go completely meat free.

Alun from cheshire, United Kingdom

Great shot, Tacos MMMmmm

@Alun: Two of three Brits commenting say, "tacos, mmmmm." Is there a particular British appreciation of Mexican food? I don't even remember seeing tacos anywhere last time I was in the UK. For me it's, Fish and Chips, mmmmmm.
