Cruelty to animals, how do you justify it?

[purple_haize]

I cant look at anything that shows cruelty to animals & I dont understand how people can be cruel to any animal.

What involvement? Didn't you look into it.? They manufactured and gave the Indonesians those disgusting killing boxes with the slanted slippery floors for starters

You can google the facts crikey

Or ask monman for a graph

The facts are out there

I think.    

I just find what they're doing so abhorrent I see red very quickly.

What Donna has failed to mention here is that before export, the MLA went to Indonesia, took Australian approved equipment and methods, and trained and implemented procedures.

Once they left, some of the Indonesian abbotoirs reverted to "their own methods" sold equipment and falsified reports and evaded inspections.

The MLA was already investigating what was happening and had ceased operations on some abbotoirs when this went to press. The MLA continued to clean up the remaining abbatoirs and restored standards, whilst removing accreditation from those that did not comply.

they are female cows so it's ok as the abilities of feeling pain of a female cows are different for physiological reasons.

Are you SERIOUS?

To make such a statement you should provide links. 

BTW - cows are usually female.

The difference here is captivity (where chance of escape from the cruelty is limited to non existant) and the wild where prey does get away more often than thought. Where lions can and do die of starvation and can ond often are killed by prey on the defensive. The zoos in China which throw in live cows to be attacked by lions for spectacle is cruel as it limits any fighting chance.
