Sorry Slick I had no intention of upsetting you, but yes it is a reality, so you can see why I am so happy to hear this news, and to put an end to the long suffering these poor defenceless animals have suffered for years and still will in some countries.

How we can condone such cruelty, because they are farm animals, is beyond me, I just cannot understand it myself, it is like a previous poster said, we treat them like a hunk of meat, it is DISGUSTING.

Slick have some comfort in knowing that at least here in NZ, these poor creatures will no longer have to endure this.
