John Parry writes about the pitiless humanity of government and big business in the pursuit of profit.
Nowhere is this more apparent than the animal farming and research industries where millions of animals are tortured, mutilated and kept in conditions that shame a supposedly civilised humane society.
Even threats to human health, such as BSE and the well-documented risks of cancers and heart disease from meat and dairy based diets, are not put before profit.
When faced with facts and evidence about dangers and suffering, both government and big business simply resort to lies and denials.
