Cows receive changes before beauty pageants
http://www.sina.com.cn 2002/10/11 10:07  金羊网-新快报

  Breeders in the US are giving cows "boob jobs" to help them win bovine beauty pageants.

  Unscrupulous owners are placing gas or liquid into cows' udders to make them bigger.

  Some try to enhance the size of the udders by injecting them with isobutane gas or liquid silver protein to make them look less wrinkled.

  But the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports on October 8 that University of Wisconsin-Madison veterinarians have developed a way to use ultrasound to reveal these implants.

  Vet Robert O''Brien told the paper: "We think we could clean up the Miss America contest with the same technology."

  Dairy farmers, such as Elmo Wendorf of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, welcome the move and want cheaters to be caught.

  With a cow, size matters more for money than beauty because it reflects how much milk she''ll produce and the price she and her offspring can command.

美国农场主给奶牛“整容”去“选美”

  在美国,一些农场为了让自己的奶牛在“牛选美”中获胜,竟花尽心思。一些无良农场主把异丁烷气体打进牛的乳房里,让它们看上去大一点;有的把液体银蛋白注射到奶牛身上去,让它们少一点皱纹。

  据《密尔沃基前哨报》报道,威斯康星州大学麦迪逊分校的兽医专家呼吁揭露这些丑陋行为。一位兽医称:“我想我们还能用这种技术用在美国小姐选美上来赚钱呢。”当地的牛奶场主们都非常支持这次行动。

  在美国,如果一只奶牛的大小往往是它产奶量的表现,也影响到它的后代的价值。
