Like many people across the nation, and indeed the world, we
were disgusted to recently learn of yet another case of animal
cruelty in the live export trade. We were saddened to hear the reports of extreme
cruelty inflicted upon live cattle in Vietnam. And what makes this even more
upsetting is that this is certainly not a new problem. For years, animal
welfare organisations have been campaigning against cruel practices in the live
export industry. Leading the way in
these campaigns has been one of our country’s largest animal protection
agencies, Animals Australia.
Over the years, animal welfare organisations have done some
incredible work exposing instances of animal cruelty throughout a number of
animal industries, including (but not limited to) puppy mills, factory farms
and live export. Another recent example of the great work of these groups is the
exposé of live baiting in the Australian greyhound racing industry, which was
lead by Animal Liberation Queensland and aided by Animals Australia and the
RSPCA.
Given that the government and industry bodies have failed to
protect our animals, we cannot thank animal welfare groups enough for fighting for
the humane treatment of these beings. We
hope that the attempts of parliament to pass “ag-gag” laws, which would prevent
animal protection agencies from exposing acts of commercialised animal cruelty,
never succeed.

Animals are living creatures and feel real pain, it is absolutely inhumane to treat them cruelly. I hope government bodies realize the seriousness of this issue soon and take measures against it.

ReplyDeleteThe problem with us humans is that we judge other animals with our only tool - language. We talk about emotions, insight and feelings in a particular way and it is impossible to gauge animal mind unless we also understand animal language and although we understand some animal gestures, we cannot probe deep into the mind of other species.pet supplies plus grooming
