       I don't believe Goo's at the point of knowing his own position yet. This   
   Goober STILL thinks that cows are raised just to be pet food, and now he thinks   
   chickens are too. It may be another period of years again before Goo figures   
   out   
   how stupid he's being right now...IF he ever does figure it out at all.   
      
       What must the Goober think? He believes some chickens are raised   
   specifically to be pet food but can't say for how long, so let's say for Goo   
   that it's 6-8 weeks and if he wants to say it's longer or shorter that's up to   
   Goo. Does Goo believe that entire chicken houses are filled with birds being   
   raised only to become pet food? Or does Goo think that maybe a portion of many   
   houses contain birds that will become pet food? Let's say for Goo since he   
   won't/can't say for himself, that he believes entire houses are filled with pet   
   food chickens since he believed entire herds of cattle were raised for pet food   
   and most likely he still does. So, we can conclude that the Goober believes   
   there are entire chicken houses filled with chickens which he thinks will be   
   raised for 6-8 weeks only to become pet food, with each entire bird being used   
   only for pet food. LOL!!! It's incredibly stupid, but that's what Goo must   
   believe. Either that or he must think that what we consider the prime parts of   
   the pet food chickens are regarded as "less desirable" parts in the pet food   
   industry, and so are sold as by-products to the human market. LOL!!! Either   
   way,   
   WHAT A GOOBER!
