We consider ourselves as an advanced society. But as long as we treat other living beings like children, animals and plants without respect and compassion, there will be no peace on this planet.
This is disgusting and heartbreaking. I've seen a mated pair of ducks reduced to one and watched the surviving mate grieve. It was not a pleasant sight. When are people going to realize that all animals need to be treated with some amount of decency. This is all too disturbing. Please end it now!
