Cattle versus People

Watched Four corners Tuesday night.  They covered the national shame of mandatory detention and how this is a complete failure in every measure.  The worst part of it was the physcological damage to detainees and how they are then released into society (either here or if they are returned).

It just occured to me that the last 'big story' 4 corners presented was the live cattle export trade.  This issue forced the government to make a knee jerk policy decision that cost us and businesses millions of dollars.  We kill and eat meat like crazy, however we react to they way they are butchered more than humans in detention.  I would cut the thoat of a cow for a good T bone over torturing another human.
