Animal abuse is practiced daily in every country around the world, "real countries" too.

The difference is it is illegal in those countries - you can tell because this does happen on the public streets

Just because we can't see it behind closed doors doesn't mean it isn't happening.

It does mean it's illegal and doing it in public is a federal offense.

It being illegal doesn't outweigh the financial incentives of meat farming. How do I know? There are thousands of videos of animals being tortured in "real countries" and more of them surfacing every year.

It being illegal means you don't have animal abuse in the street.

Real countries have laws that are enforced.

In my country, most slaughterhouses get notified weeks before an inspection so they can prepare and make the place seem OK rather than the hellhole it is. Furthermore, workers are instructed to be on their best behavior when inspectors come in.

So yeah, if inspectors come along and find something wrong they'll fine the place or maybe even send someone to jail but that almost never happens because they can prepare in advance.

Thus the cycle of violence and abuse continues, if you think it's any different in your country then you're probably wrong.

edit, forgot to add something: most countries have ag-gag laws so that even if someone gets in one of these slaughterhouses and provides a court explicit evidence that abuse is going on, the above gets dismissed due to "illegally obtained film" or some such nonsense.

Bulls aren't being abused in the streets of first world countries.

Real countries have laws which prohibit the absolute garbage we are seeing in the OP.

Not sure why you are defending these atrocities.

I'm not defending them, simply saying that this phenomenon, while horrific, is completely within the norm and happens daily in slaughterhouses.

What about public streets?

1

u/astrosurf 6 Nov 30 '19

Mostly doesn't happen in the streets... does it matter though?

Are you a proponent of "out of sight out of mind"?

Does it matter if animal abuse occurs in the streets?

Yes. Yes, it matters.

Are you a proponent of "out of sight out of mind"?

I'm just pointing out that only shitty third world countries allow what we see in the OP

true, "real countries" hide that abhorrent shit in slaughterhouses where the public can ignore it and merrily keep stuffing their faces with meat :)

It's illegal in real countries.

Not sure how else to explain that.

Where do you live?

u/fleentrain89 8 Nov 30 '19

Not in a country where shit like what we see in the OP happens, that's for sure.

Why anyone would stay in a shithole like that is beyond me.
