An attitude problem

Not caring about what’s happening to all these animals, every day, in our name, is simply the predominant attitude problem humans have. The reason we have to alter this attitude is that animals are not inanimate. They feel, move and have many life-functions similar to us. So, why do we abuse them or give the farmer the nod to enslave them? Perhaps it’s because for the majority of humankind, there is a belief in the need for animal foods. This is spurred on by a taste addiction for them (in all their ingredient varieties) as well as an economic attraction for them – they’re the cheapest, most highly subsidised, (and therefore) ‘bargain’ food products on the market. For that we condone a corrupt system of animal husbandry.
