Animal generating dollars

The ‘domesticated’ animals - what is happening to them? Nothing is happening for them, that’s for sure. To their minders, their health and welfare is only important if it affects the creature’s economic viability. As soon as Daisy isn’t earning her board and lodging she’s off to the abattoir. What sort of calculated and violent relationship is that?
It is in fact simply slave master and slave. It’s practically no relationship at all, leastways not a pleasant one. But this relationship she or he is forced into from birth. All through a foreshortened life and all the way to the executioner’s block. This is the situation for farm animals.
Perhaps her slavery is even more pernicious than human slavery because, unlike a human, she’s got no way of dealing with the torment of it. She has nothing to hand (hoof!) with which she can reason or project a future, because f course there is no reason and she has no future. A life of having your lifeforced sucked from you, some life, thence to have you throat cut. What plan of escape can she possibly have. Her every ‘now’ moment must be an empty place, especially as her minders are crueller and more indifferent than ever. And ever more desperate to extract all they can from their animals, to keep themselves in clover. From their point of view it’s different: they have difficulty in turning a profit and this is compounded by the vast numbers of consumers demanding low priced foods, all competing with cheaper imports, and that must mean lowest prices which translates to lowest living expenses for animals. Customers want cheap (and they’ll buy imported goods if they’re cheaper), so the finger of blame certainly points to …? Who? Everyone who spends money on animal food and clothing …
But there’s more to it than buying and eating. By wanting to stay uninformed about the current ‘methods used in modern animal husbandry’, the ordinary consumer is not so very different to the shareholder of an arms manufacturer. They want the goods, they want the dividends. They don’t want to know what the weapons do - no one wants to know about the provenance of the goods and services they buy because they’d have to share the responsibility for making them. They’d be needing to know at the very least what goes on behind the scenes. A share is not just money, it’s a share of the responsibility for the product that is generating that money.
