In the US it is legal to shoot cows, calves, pigs, lambs, horses, etc, if they are to be used as food. It is also legal to stab them, burn them, skin them alive, kick them, punch them, or hit them with bats or shovels or 2-by-4s. Or body slam their babies. Or starve them.
Basically, anything you can do to a log, you can do to a living creature not covered by the Animal Protection Act, which is every kind of animal used in farming.
Who made this possible?
Capitalists - specifically, the scumbag capitalists who own Big Ag firms and their lobbyists and the scumbag Conservatives they bought off.
Big AG and their Republican hacks are trying to pass ag gag laws (Ag-gag is a term used for a variety of anti-whistleblower laws in the United States of America. In Utah and Iowa, the recording of undercover videos showing animal cruelty in farming practices is now illegal) across the country and they have actually succeeded in a few red states.
Ag-gag laws make it a crime to expose cruelty on factory farms or in slaughterhouses. Why? It is because even though such cruelty is perfectly legal, it is bad for business.
And Republicans are all about business.
Business is more important to them than compassion
Business is their god.
Business is the biggest cause of cruelty on Earth.
What feeds business is profit and what drives profit is greed and humanity loses humanity because of its greed. That is known as vulture capitalism - we feed on carcasses be it fossil fuel, mass produced beef or fur industry and the list is endless because human greed is endless and nowhere it is most apparent than in The United States of America. And, other countries are trying to replicate the US - a race driven by insatiable avarice.
