You used to be able buy them at the West Shore Farmers Market in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Harrisburg. But I don't recognize the stand's name on the current map, and I don't suppose that Cumberland County is really a hub of HN readers.


Cruel and unusual. Being the organisms with the most intelligence, we sure do stupid things. Not an example we would want to set for when the smarter aliens come. Oh succulent human Eunuch meat...


We encourage pet owners to spay/neuter their animals. Caponizing is no different, except for the intended purpose. It sounds tasty, so now I'm curious.


No different? You do understand that the procedure is invasive and dangerous? That the person who perfected it killed thousands of birds getting it right?


Vivisection is immoral and evil, be it done on a human or an animal.
