Which is why they were left there. But there shall always be the mentally unstable and the deliberately cruel amongst us, but humane treatment of animals is a sign of a civilised society, and equally being deliberately cruel to animals because there are sadistic bastards about isn't a reason to stop caring for animals and the illtreatment they suffer. Me kicking my dog won't stop cruel tyranny and the like, I know me being gentle with my dog won't stop them either, but that's all down to cruel tyrants to stop themselves, and why should my dog suffer? dairy

M and A Dairy, people can be veggie without extremism, but in my view (purely personal) a lot of the anti cruelty lot have become very extreme of late, I used to support Greenpeace and Peta , but not any more, they appear to have become almost guerilla-like. I don't support the proschool of whaling either, and think it can be protested against more effectively through a more diplomatic approach, and hopefully the seal clubbing can too. there’s always something not quite logical about the stunts that these people engage in.

By the time, the matador appears, the bull is weak from loss of blood and dizzy from being chased in circles The horses used in bulfights are old and usually drugged. Wet newspaper is stuffed in their ears and very often their vocal cords are cut, so the audience will not hear their cries. They wear long blankets to hide their insides which spill out when they are gored and disemboweled This "tradition" is supported and financed by townhalls and the church :evil: Stay away from bullfights

Handlers weaken the bull for days the bullfight
They put laxative in their food and heavy sand bag on their backs
They file his horns down to the tender and drug him
In the ring, they drive lances into his back and the muscles of his neck so he cant lift his head.

Experience the pain, nausea and sweat of dead meat cooked outdoors using midday solar power. Do they then get eaten at a street BBQ? Yes it puts me off eating meat, especially human meat ;) Meat-In-The-City-Shock :shock:
