You have been a good Guardian for those rams and sheep, LPC. You have done your utmost best to see that they were given a decent life and treated kindly.
Looked at from a worldwide perspective, it isn't only religion which causes cruel suffering. It is ignorance. So-called "Christians" are capable of great cruelty and ignorance when it comes to the factory farming of animals,and their intense suffering, (all for monetary 'profit' of course, and market demand) -and are capable of great blindness when it comes to what animals experience at the slaughterhouse, even with comparatively 'humane' methods in use!
And in some far Eastern countries, as we know, animals are killed in the most horrendous ways for 'good luck' on a certain date, or for some other ritualistic reason -or simply because torture and terror creates a different taste in the meat. There, we have examples of modern people soul-lessly following 'traditions' or concepts which were dreamed up centuries ago by people whose mental state left a lot to be desired. And if that isn't disturbed, foolish and ignorant, I don't know what is.
