I HAVE just read an article in the Daily Mirror that has sickened me.
The article said that soldiers are having to finish off animals that have not been slaughtered properly. Apparently, cows crawling about among dead animals have been beaten to death with lorry spanners.
Piglets are being bashed with shovels as soon as they're born, the mother sow then being slaughtered, too. I find it totally barbaric, and all this is happening with government approval.
The whole foot-and- mouth fiasco has shown how uncaring and cruel the human race can be.
