Unfortunately, knowing Bo Pilgrim (a man so fundamentally crooked that, to steal from Hunter S. Thompson, he needs four people to help him screw his pants on every morning), nothing short of being threatened with eternal damnation will do a bit of good. The only real hope we have of getting Bo to stop with the antibiotics is to get Texas Governor Rick Perry out of office this November: Perry ran and won his old spot as Texas Agriculture Commissioner thanks to Bo's money, and Perry's consistently fought any effort to get Pilgrim Farms to abide by anything approaching common sense when it comes to waste treatment or medication. However, should Kinky Friedman win the election, and he stands a good chance based on his competition, the new governor himself plans to make antibiotic treatment of this sort illegal.
