Abuse of Animals

1928:

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 a relationship with an animal is not such a good idea, when you intend to have it murdered.

So, animals are there for profiting-from. That they’re abused is incidental. For we humans, 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. And at that point the abuse starts.
