    maybe we should treat humans this way as well then eh?

    Soon as you get a sniffle, best if we put people out of their misery :twisted:

    You call being unable to coordinate body movement and mental disability a sniffle?

    Its a very serious disease Pebs! Far worse than a “sniffle”

    And they are not pets they are bred for meat.

    thats precisely my point. They killed the animal, not because it wouldnt recover (as it most likely would have) but because it had lost some of its profitability.

    Some animals suffer muscle wastage as a result of this illness and abattoirs might not accept the meat into the food chain.

    But, the animals can be treated with anti-biotics and after they have recovered there is no reason why the meat cannot go into the food chain.

    I cant see many buyers queing up to buy it though, can you?

    If I had my way I would (In my world) open an animal rescue centre for precisely this type of thing. Let the animals live their lives, pain free and well fed until their destiny.

    But life just aint like that, and I have personally hardoned myself to that fact.

    I think that you’re right here. We SHOULD look after these animals for the rest of their lives and ensure that they live in a safe, stress free environment.

    We also ought to make sure that they are regularly visited and cuddled each day so that they feel loved and wanted. Nasty horrid farmers breeding them for their meat – whatever next!!!

    I think that where such an idea falls flat on its face is the cost, people are quick to suggest such things expecting someone else to foot and mouth the bill were it to ever happen, but the idea would magically lose its appeal if the people who want such fluffy concepts to happen were the ones who had to pay for it in its entireity

    I can think of oodles of things that in an ideal world that didnt need money I would “like” to see, but back here in the real world realisism kicks in and I accept they are numpty brained nonsensical things than nobody, me included would want to fund

    I do also think its just a bit silly that the animals, bred to be KILLED anyway for meat are being fretted over simply because they are being killed :shock: sooner lol, either way they die, only the time frame and reason alters

    They are still killing infected animals (and stating that this is to halt any spread of the disease), yet it can’t be spread from animal to animal and in any case the animals recover. Duuuuurrrhh!
