(13) Herding Cows with Kulning – YouTube
Using the ancient Nordic herding call “kulning” to herd the cows. Kulning is a high pitch voice technique that creates a sound that can travel through very far distances. It’s been used since the medieval age to call home the cows and the goats in the forest, and also to scare away predators like wolves and bears. #sweden #kulning #herdingcall #herding #nordicmusic

Another case of slavery in Romania. The slavers are - as usual - in the animal farming business (herding).
The herd/farm owner uses slaves to do the hard work of looking after the animals (usually sheep) locally and when they're on the grasslands during the summer.
In this case there are 7 victims, one is a child (child labor is a core tradition in pastoralism).
The news reports don't have a lot of details aside from sayings that the people were housed in terrible conditions.
One of the disadvantages of all this extensive land use which is typical for "free range" herding of animals is that there's nobody around. That's one of the reasons pastoral religions are so into the Sky Father who monitors everyone, invisibly. (No witnesses.)
One of the founding myths for Romania is basically a murder and rustling (stealing the animals) story between herders, decorated with stories of magical sheep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miori%C8%9Ba

"Christopher Ketcham | The Megamachine and Green Growth Delusions"
An interview with author and journalist C. Ketcham about the "Megamachine" eating up the planet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpdZyXILMOE
He has a book:
This Land: How Cowboys, Capitalism, and Corruption Are Ruining the American West
You can imagine why it's relevant, but you can also watch a lecture on C-SPAN: https://www.c-span.org/video/?462742-1/this-land
Tech layoffs seem entirely driven by herding behavior at this point, right? Layoffs happen, the stock price goes up, other company boards ask why they aren't doing the same and it's rinse and repeat. And they're crippling their businesses in the process, right?

3 ways going vegan helped my anti-racism advocacy | Christopher Sebastian | TEDxTUWien https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVIzbOSPL5g
A lecture by journalist Christopher Sebastian on the intersection between animal farming, eating meat, and racism. I've mentioned many of these topics above and there are a lot more writings out there.
I appreciate the emphasis on the culture war.
<>
Christopher Sebastian explores how historical ideas around race and species influenced racial violence and animal violence and how the rejection of animal products challenges racial hierarchies and white supremacy. The talk discusses the concept of a culture war, examining recent examples related to veganism and meat consumption. Video produced by: Apehouse www.apehouse.at Christopher Sebastian is a technical writer, journalist, and digital media researcher. He has also lectured at Columbia University, Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard University, and Oxford. He writes about food, politics, media, and pop culture. Although his focus lies primarily in animal rights theory, Christopher includes perspectives from a variety of socio-political and economic backgrounds. As human and animal liberation frequently overlap, he says there is no reason to limit the scope of our knowledge to single-issue perspectives. Among others, Christopher examines current and historical connections between Black liberation and animal liberation in U.S. American culture and throughout the global west. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community

#Trafficjams have a different look in #rural #Freshwater. A 50-strong #flock is having a go at #WalkTheWight this #morning. From time to time I've wondered, if you spot a #sheep or a #cow or a #herd on the #road or #verge, how do you find the #farmer to let them know?
