Chicken Little saves the world
from the Dogs of War
|
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News April 30, 2008
During the primary election for the Herbivore Party, Chicken Little
steadfastly contended that the sky was falling.
Goosey Loosey and
Turkey Lurky, with the generous backing of the Dogs of Commerce,
Industry and Banking (who were secretly backing the candidacy of Foxy
Loxy of the Carnivore "we only eat fish" Party) insisted that the
Dogs of War were correct, and that the trouble was not that chunks of
the sky

were falling, but rather that the Terrorist Goats of Asia
were behind all the troubles and that considerable numbers of Dogs of
War would be needed to remain in Asia to contend with the
threat.
Both Goosey Loosey and Turkey Lurky insisted that their plan would
bring the Dogs of War home sooner than if Foxy Loxy and the
Carnivores won the election for president and that that was the best
we could reasonably expect of our leaders.
Not wanting to take any chances that the rest of the animals might
start listening to Chicken Little and stop the great sheep feast in
Asia (the sheep being of course described as only "collateral damage"
occurring in the righteous pursuit, killing and consumption of
Terrorist Goats), the Dogs of War sent Wolves In Sheep's clothing to set
fire to Chicken Little's house causing him to drop out of the primary race.

Meanwhile, ever-greater chunks of sky were falling everywhere, burying
cities and towns, and causing great consternation. The Dogs of War,
Commerce, Industry and Finance continued to claim that the Terrorist
Goats were behind the destruction and that the Illegal Sheep crossing

stopped falling, and in following generations the Carnivores'
descendants became disgusted with the very idea of eating other
animals.

| border were also a big part of the problem.
In due course, the presidential election was stolen by the Carnivores, a state of emergency was declared, and a great hunt for domestic
terrorist was begun. The Dogs of War found, killed and consumed both
Goosey Loosey and Turkey Lurky but were unable to find Chicken Little,
who had gone into hiding with the help of the Horses and Cattle.
Laws that had prohibited the killing and eating of herbivorous
animals by carnivorous animals were rescinded with the lame excuse
that it |
would help stem the terrorist threat. The new motto was that
you can't make an omelet without cracking some eggs (and eating some
chickens).
Great herds and flocks were confined to large prison
camps where many "suspects" were tortured, killed and eaten in what
was called a necessary effort to confront the Terrorist Goats.
That is when the Wolves In Sheep's clothing decided to drop the
disguise, and started killing and eating the other Carnivores. Then
the Dogs of War were finally brought home from Asia and a great
battle between the Carnivores ensued with much torturing, killing and
eating of Carnivores by other Carnivores.
When the Carnivores had sufficiently weakened themselves, Chicken
Little led the Herbivores in a campaign to free the animals confined in the prison camps, and with the help of all the animals,
|
the remaining aggressive Carnivores were subdued, and peace was finally achieved.
From then on Carnivores renounced a meat diet, including avoiding
fish, and learned to love vegiburgers and tofu. Eventually the sky
stopped falling, and in following generations the Carnivores'
descendants became disgusted with the very idea of eating other
animals. The Lions came to lie down with the Lambs, peace and
prosperity arrived, and everyone lived happily ever-after.
