I'm an interpreter for Deaf people, I once did a council meeting job for a Deaf man who had a small whippet like hearing dog for the Deaf, there was a muslim lady in the meeting, quite high up in the council might I add, and she kicked the dog 3 feet accross the room when it got too close to her, I complained to the right people, nothing was done. I hate animal cruelty of any sort, but it seems some parts of the world seem to not care so much.

Edited - this is the video of the Halal slaughter, it is discusting, it will upset you. I don't usually watch such things but recently have taken to forcing myself to do so.

I am sure we can all post horrendous pictures of what goes on in abbattoirs as well if we wanted to!
The same as we could on all sorts of things..............
Yes, in some parts of the world such as the UK, badger baiting goes on, dog fighting goes on, horses are left to starve and stand amongst the bodies of others; people hang dogs, set them on fire and throw them off balconies!
Terrible isn't it!
