And cows which eat other (rendered-into-feed) cows, are referred to as "mad".

I have a feeling that was a big lie spread by cows trying to get us to "eat mor chikin".

Da Chief's stubble seems a little heavier than the previous strip. Are we sure he is human? Maybe a werewolf?

Would certainly make sense.

To go by usage with other species, frogs which eat tadpoles (at least of their own species) get referred to as cannibals, even though there's been a huge change in the life form in between. On the other hand, chickens which eat eggs are not referred to as cannibals.

And cows which eat other (rendered-into-feed) cows, are referred to as "mad".

If that were done with people, you wouldn't be a little ticked?

"Soylent Green(tm) is made of people!"

Actually, "mad cow" disease is a condition that was first observed in cannibalistic human societies.

Only if they eat the spinal cord/brain tissue - in which case, we're dealing with Zombie cows already; 'mad' is now just an adjective, as in "mad zombie cow". Run away, please.....
