Yeah, it is quite sick but only 2 you or me who know not to treat animals like this. In times gone by before there were any supermarkets or shops what did we do. We used the same methods that are evident here for food and clothing. It appears barbaric but to them its just how they make a living and they don't know any different.
On the subject of not eating meat, as a species we are hunters thats why are eyes are at the front and also why we have canine teeth. we are lucky enough to be able to eat both meat and vegetables but to completely cut out one source of food would obviously have consequences. I have many vegetarian friends but they all suffer with a similar ailment. They are always cold, evn when its the middle of summer. Now what could be that reason, hmm i wonder.....(pondering).
In conclusion, how people live all around the world is going to be different, different cultures and all at different stages of the modern world. What some see as barbaric others see as normal and for us to push our views on to them is completely wrong. Let them decide for themselves their destiny. without the interference and medaling of the western world in issues they have no right to poke their noses into.
thankyou.
