1222:
On the farms and especially
the factory farms, the psychological torment suffered by the animals is
unarguable. But people in general know
almost nothing about this – they are ignorant or they pretend to be. We most of us live in towns and cities. We hardly ever go to the country and when we
do, we see the pretty farm buildings nestling amongst trees, surrounded by
green paddocks. We never see the
interiors of the sheds, nor want to.
If we get to know, from
pictures or TV footage, that the animals are kept in slum conditions (and
therefore realise that our food comes from these places) we still don’t react. We aren’t aroused by the possibility that
there’s anything wrong going on, let alone anything diabolical. We aren’t encouraged or even allowed to check
out conditions on farms, let alone abattoirs.
If you go down to the farm
today you’re in for a big surprise - if you ever get to see inside one it would
be a case of ‘once seen never forgotten’.
