Keep cattle prices down

Don't you feel remorse for your crimes against these innocent creatures? Don't you see that they love life like you and don't want to die? Don't you see how much they are afraid of dying and scream out of fear? Do you want someone to treat you and your family or loved ones like this? If you have an iota of compassion and conscience, stop this dirty work. (Eating meat is a crime

[@jacksondaniels9960]

Completely agree. Can’t let them get away with what they are doing to the animal kingdom. It’s absolutely terrifying and traumatising what they do to them.

[@IrishFrank22]

If it wasn't for the farmer these cattle would have no life. You're probably a lefty who voted for abortion. How many cattle have you in your backyard? None is the answer.

God is watching. Karma is coming. No mercy will be shown to the merciless. Judgement day is on its way.
