Story Telling - Folklore
In common with all rural areas with long-established cultures, story telling is an ancient tradition right across the Highlands and Islands and Shetland is no exception. People would gather round the fire on long winter nights to tell tales, frequently frightening each other with supernatural goings on, and the best would be handed down through the generations to the present day.
As with language, music and dance, story telling is another area where Norse influence was and is still strong, the main themes of the stories being based on fishing and crofting.
Predictably, the first mention of trolls in English occurs in Shetland where, in 1616, a woman was charged with witchcraft for summoning a troll from a graveyard.
Shetland stories today often feature trows, small, shy, nocturnal goblin-like creatures living under mounds. They are generally left alone and one shouldn’t annoy them. They also have a tendency to kidnap musicians to play at their underground weddings! The word “trow” could come from “troll” of from “draugr”, described as “animated mound-dwelling corpses”.
Shetland also has nuggles or nyuggles – water-horses that live in the steams under watermills where they seek to entice travellers to sit on their backs, upon which they rush into the nearest loch to drown them. Nuggles are similar to the Highland “each uisge” and Lowland “kelpie”.
Lapps or Norway Finns are the sea-living version of the trow. They are shape-shifters and powerful sorcerers who can change rapidly from human form into sea monsters, chasing ships in packs and dragging them down to their doom.
Shetland has a number of outstanding storytellers and no holiday is complete without a tale or two.
A "troll" is actually someone who is quite ignorant, and chooses to remain that way...this is called stupidity.
The person selling the hay cannot care what it used for after the sale...their only concern is payment for product...not a troll.
Condemning anyone trying to make ends meet these days, no matter what that could encompass...a troll.
Severe health issues are probably more repairable using an organic (very important!!!) veg diet that carnivorous...Mom just needs a little more education of food sources. And anyone who berates others...definately a troll.
LOL Good Journey!!!

A troll is someone who asks questions like this one.
You really need to get a life. You seem quite obsessed with this issue. Any normal person wouldn't spend this much time and energy hating on someone they dislike. It's only really acceptable if its someone like an ex, family member, or close friend, but not someone on the internet who you don't even know at all. You really need help.
No.
You're a troll and everyone knows it.
A troll is someone who has 10 IDs and harasses people in an internet forum. It's someone, like yourself, with a clinical grade obsession who imagines they are intellectual and secure while needing to block everyone who disagrees with them because they are defeated.
For being someone with self-proclaimed intellectual prowess, you certainly don't impress. Ever.
If you know the truth that 10-12kgs of hay fed to produce 1kg of beef, those organic hay could be made 30 servings of meals for human. Why don't you campaign and educate that those hey (or grains) to reflect and sold at it's "cost value" thus enable those starving countries would afford to purchase and safe many lives from hunger & starvation. In 2007 alone, 7.2million people died on hunger & starvation worldwide.
This info was gathered from a slaughterhouse owner…
If a cow weighs 400kg, then after slaughter the carcass will be about 200kg then when it goes to the butcher it looses about one third in fat and bone. So a 400kg liveweight animal should give you about 140kg of edible meat.
Now the butcher buys the whole carcass, so if he paid $600 for the carcass and he only sells 140kg of that 200kg carcass then he instantly loses $200 worth of product value.
This is why meat prices vary for different cuts.
The bones bring very little return and the fat from the butcher is usually given away to be used for blood and bone fertilizer.
Back at the Abattoir, everything is utilized (even the blood in pigs sometimes for black pudding), the abattoir keep everything they have a market for like the hide, kidneys, liver etc, everything else including the head and stomach contents is used for petfood, cosmetics like lipstick, jelly and fertilizer.
The abattoir makes their money by utilizing these other products.
The average weight of a cow, steer or bull will vary with breed, age, conformation and meat to bone ratio.
The heaviest animal he had processed dressed out (carcass weight)was 340kg, so that is about 700kg liveweight.
He had processed a bull over 1000kg liveweight for pet food.
This cow requires abt 4000kgs of hay or grains to produce 400kgs of liveweight. 140kgs are edible meat.
Therefore
1 cow of 400kg liveweight = 140kg beef = for 140 servings for meaters.
4000 kg hay = 12000 servings for veggers.
Hence, if the value chain is utilized efficiently, it COULD SAFE 12000 HUMAN LIVES RATHER THAN 140 MEATERS BY A COW ALONE!
1kg of hay or grains would cost only 5 cents instead being sold for commodity value of $5/kg. This would hardly be assessable by many poor countries.
1kg of beef is being sold for 12 to 20 USD instead 80-95 USD after so much of “mysterious” cost hidden by freakonomics and meat-politics.
Yes I would. I also find it interesting that the VOC (vegans of convenience) rush to his aid. Maybe because they know they are not fulfilling their vegan lifestyle to 100% animal product free. These people will not admit it but they are are actually consuming a vegetarian diet but living a flexitarian lifestyle. Hypocritical? You tell me. Also, they will attack venomously if you try to point out their flaws. Funny, even the omni trolls rush to their side. How ironic is that? Secret vegetarian desires maybe. Not enough love from mommy. I don't know, but I am sure a trusted psychotherapist could put a label to it.
However, the ones of us with sense eat a well balanced flexitarian diet and live the same type of lifestyle. Can anyone call us a hypocrite, I don't think so.
Thank you Skully for always bringing a refreshing view to such a staunchy ole crowd. Here is a star.
a troll is someone who puts questions like these so people break the rules and get reported.
