The fact the animals that end up in our plates are so lame to the point that cannot walk shows how little we think of them. In fact, to the meat industry, God's animals are nothing but commodities that bring profit. It is up to us, stewards of God's Creation, to take a stand for these creatures and defend their God-given rights and instincts, by showing them compassion and mercy.
