IF VIOLENCE to human females is wrong (Down to respect, 6 November) how can violence to non-human females be right? The females I’m particularly referring to are cows, sows and hens. Because of their ability to produce milk, give birth and lay eggs these females are condemned to a lifetime of suffering culminating with a premature and violent death.
We’re told one in five women will experience sexual assault or sexual interference.
Well, guess what? Dairy cows and breeding sows are routinely raped. Female turkeys are likewise sexually violated.
How many people this Christmas will support rape and violence by buying a turkey for Christmas dinner?
Isn’t it time we opened our eyes to the fact that all violence is wrong?
