Well, if you don't already have any heffers (is that the right term?) bull semen isn't going to do you much good.

I hear it's used in some wrinkle-fighting face creams, so it might not be a total loss even without cows handy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup. There's a lot of waste on a carcass.

Not to mention the waste on the floor.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OTOH, you can use the carcass to make leather jackets and Jello.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And the rest is soup.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Or glue.

There's always room for pulverized, freeze-dried, fruit-flavored cow bits! Mmmmmm.

Your tag here.

...plus the methane buildup in an enclosed area like a spaceship.

::handwaves the science frantically::

It's, um, an alternate fuel source for Serenity... yeah, that's it. Plus, a great buzz once you get past the smell and the random explosions.

Atmospheric cleansing. Hey, the gasses given off by humans have to be dealt with, on a smaller scale...

Plus, a great buzz once you get past the smell and the random explosions.

Can't believe I know this... most of the methane from a cow actually is from when they are chewing their cud. It's more a front end emission and not a back end, as it were.
