University of the Working Animal
Roving reporter Cracklin Jane visits the campus of the University of the Working Animal. This prestigious institution, established in about 4000 BC, prepares students whose species are known for their physical strength, intelligence and endurance for professional careers as Draft Animals, pulling and carrying heavy loads. The University offers such classes as Taming the Wild Beast Within, Harness Mechanics, and Urban and Rural Lane Navigation.
The school has lately become the subject of controversy, since the use of draft animals has been largely replaced with mechanization.
Nevertheless, we’ll be auditing a few of the courses for your edification.
