Australia makes the top 10 countries in the world for animal cruelty. Every year, 500 million livestock are slaughtered using unsanitary, inhumane methods, and are injected with hormones to meet consumption demands. Imagine living your entire life in a cage, never seeing the sun or fresh grass, being riddled with disease and in pain. You wouldn't treat your pets like this, so why should some of the most intelligent animal species have to endure such cruelty. Keep in mind that these diseased, distressed and toxic hormone-injected creatures find their way onto our - and our children's - dinner plates. It's about time Australia got with it and started farming livestock using more sustainable, humane, and practical methods. This would improve our own health, and the productivity of our agricultural industry. We have the land, it can be done. We are a young, dynamic and innovative country. Get With It, Australia, and start moving forward.
