Abuse of animals

341:
Farmers don’t recognise that animals have a life of their own, where human interests play no part at all. To any animal farmer the very thought of animals being anything other than a resource for human convenience is anathema … to build up a relationship with an animal is unthinkable. After all, you do intend to have it murdered.
So, animals are there for profiting-from. That they’re abused is incidental. Any docile animal, any useful thing is up for grabs - it’s a business opportunity, that’s all. To keep up with competition and to keep shareholders happy a few principles must be compromised. At that point the abuse starts.
