This unelected government is morally repugnant on every conceivable level.
Their deplorable hatred of and abhorrent punitive campaign against the most vulnerable has now been extended to remove what little but vital protection had been granted to our fellow sentient beings.

I don't know if any of you have read any of the 422 comments thus far in reply to this Independent article but look what this sick bastard wrote in:-

One clear sign of the West's decadence is this sick concern with animal welfare. Animals are resources, like oil, cereals or coal. Not more, not less.
Isn't there really anything else to worry about in the West other than chicken's beaks being cut off? As long as they taste well, I don't really worry.
One of the things I really worry about are our youths, obsessed with material possessions, fun, with so little culture or imagination.

Vivid: To be honest, I find that less sickening than this Muller yoghurt advert:

That person who commented has apparently thought about it and doesn't give a damn, as many people don't. I believe that more people DO give some kind of damn however but they just get on with life and keep it shut out, as we all do with the big issues a lot of the time or we'd all be living off berries, naked in a cave somewhere so as not to cause some suffering to somebody or something or the planet. Or have gone completely mad.

No, I find those type of adverts sickening and sinister; the new wave of 'innocently comical' and green-friendly types of adverts for Mc Donalds, bog rolls, etc. which are cynically manipulating the reality of the animals' experiences, deforestation etc. in peoples' minds.
