In God's name, we are still slaughtering unwanted animals from the BSE exercise.
Now we learn more than 100,000 are to be destroyed, so far, for foot-and-mouth disease and 500,000, from areas not suspected of the disease because their welfare could be compromised. Pregnant ewes, for instance.
May God forgive us for all this wickedness. Whether the cause was the alleged feed or alleged bad factory farming practices, it is the consumer who must ultimately bear the blame for all this carnage.
-Elizabeth Taylor, Worthing
