stop animal cruelty

Many aussies will know about the recent hype around live cattle export (to Indonesia in particular), and the 4 corners special that aired on the subject. I only watched one short video online and it had me so upset watching the treatment of this poor cow named Dudley. I am aware that some people view cattle as dumb, but some people are also dumb, it doesn't change the way they feel pain. All living things feel emotion, and justifying animal torture because of economics or political reasons is sickening. I think that as humans it is our responsibility to look after animals and nature, not to exploit and abuse it.
I normally try to post beautiful, inspiring things, but try as I might, there are some things I just can't ignore.
