Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Hi, I agree with John, Humane legislation to protect animals and education and the formulation of Humane slaughter laws (if we cannot convince everyone to be vegetarian) are most necessary in China and Asia and elsewhere rather than nuking those we think are guilty of extreme cruelty to animals. There is cruelty of the grossest king in every country. I have heard some meat animals are skinned alive in USA meatworks as well as meatworks/abattoirs in other countries. Cattle are no different to dogs and cats. They have a central nervous system and the ability to suffer just like us (in fact some people say some animal species may suffer more than us because of their complex nervous systems, extra senses and different bodies). Today I just passed another load of sheep on a multi-tiered truck destined for Fremantle port in Western Australia. They will be sent to sea on mostly old ships (the ships of shame), fed pelleted food, and some will die on the cramped journey to some muslim country where they will die shocking deaths from ritual slaughter. It is days like these I am ashamed to be a human being. Maybe it would be better if we humans were all nuked by a species-specific biowarfare agent and that we leave what is left of this lovely planet to the animals. Animals on the whole are so much less nasty than humans. Kind regards, Marguerite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
