My heart breaks at the callous acceptance that all cattle over 30 months old throughout Europe are to be slaughtered.

These animals are to be destroyed largely as a public relations exercise and I find it abhorrent that my husband's hard-earned taxes will be used for such barbarism.

I think humans deserve to be punished for the unholy suffering we inflict on animals.

Consumers should take responsibility for the part they play too.
