And it certainly wouldn't help the cruel treatment of other animals which
aren't bred for meat. I don't have any links, but I volunteered at the RSPCA
(Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) for several years, and
have seen photos you wouldn't believe - one case involved a "breeder" of
spaniels, there were over 60 animals in about 4 stalls, looked like they were
never cleaned, their coats were totally matted, many of the animals were lame
and / or blind (partially or totally), and there were several dead bodies just
left to rot (mostly pups). When I was shown the photos, I puked. I can't
imagine what it would've been like for the inspectors out there actually
looking at (and smelling) it.
