There are farms and there are farms. Some farms are large and some farms are small. Some farms are well developed, some farms are run down and full of war and hunger. Some farms are influential and some farms exist to serve influential, powerful farms or provide them cheap food and labour. Some farms are loved and some are despised by everyone and boycotted. And then there is the biggest of all the farms, the most powerful, the farm that dictates how much food should cost and who should sell food to whom and which farm should be cut off from the league of farms. This all powerful farm is called Drumpyard.
Around the animal farms, a scandal grew, about the many animal species and farm managers who had secret stores where they stashed food away from their farms. These secret stores were located on a remote farm called the Banana Island. Tax evaders, criminals and thieves all used Banana Island. When this scandal leaked, it cost the job of some farm managers and embarrassed others. On White’s farm however, things were different.
White’s farm was a post scandal farm. Animals considered themselves more evolved than other animals who responded to silly things like embarrassment or shame. And where there is no shame there can be no harm. So, even though a few supporters of White were named in the Banana scandal, Whitists carried on as if there was no scandal. After all, the day time genocide of bats on White’s farm did not cause anyone shame, why would a mere scandal involving theft make them flinch?
When Goodhead was running White’s farm, his farm hands while trying to fight the wild dogs in the north east of the farm, killed a lot of innocent sheep, goats and even chickens. They imprisoned any dog that looked like it was a wild dog and routinely let them starve to death. Some they killed by slaughtering them with swords. On learning about this, the all powerful farm called Drumpyard alienated Goodhead and his farm hands and refused to sell weapons to them for use in fighting the wild dogs. They claimed that if they sold weapons to Goodhead and his farm hands, they would commit more animal rights abuses against their own animals.
Since White took over the farm however, Drumpyard has been nice to him. They have even promised to sell him all the weapons he needs to kill off the wild dogs remaining in the north east. However, some animals expected that because Drumpyard was always going on about animal rights, they would be concerned about White and his genocidal farm hand Dick-Tai who was addicted to extra-judicially killing bats.
One representative of Drumpyard, Kim Sass, in a drunken chat with a friend of hers explained why Drumpyard was going ahead to sell weapons to White, even though he and his farm hand committed the single largest massacre of any farm hand against a civilian population in decades.
Kim Sass said through hiccups: “You see, we have global interests far beyond White’s farm. One of our biggest problems in the animal world is the farm Ran Ran, completely run by and populated with bats. They are enemies of our friends Larabiya and Sraila. Now I know Sraila and Larabiya don’t get along but they are all our friends. And they all hate Ran Ran. The thing is that bats support each other everywhere. Bats in Ran Ran were giving support to bats in White’s farm. We have been warning this farm about it for years. But you know we really can’t support any animal rights abuses. However we can turn away and smile if someone kills an enemy for us. Any friend of Ran Ran is an enemy of ours. It is that simple. So, yes, good riddance to bad rubbish. We are happy to sell weapons to someone like White who is not afraid to kill off bats. We will just ask him to be more careful next time.”
And Drumpyard began preparations to sell sophisticated weapons to White’s genocidal farm hands.
And worshippers of White continued to ignore the darkness on the farm and the drought.
And wolves, brothers of White kept killing animals around the farm wherever they felt offended.
And animals prepared to revolt against wolves, brothers of White, some deciding to deny them access to their quarters.
And White continued to pretend that the wolves, his brothers, were not in mortal danger of being hated and attacked throughout the farm because of his inaction.
And as usual, the worshippers of White sang:
In the name of the White father
And of the farm hands
And of the holy Whitists…

Amen
