When I first read this, my stupid conscious brain thought that you spoke to the Polish men, then I read on and saw what you meant....and how right you are! Their fate is not something pleasant, plus watching other animals being killed at the abattoir and thinking, "Oh no! It's me next!" hardly bears thinking about.

In many ways our whole relationship to other species  is a terrible thing. There are few animals that we are nice to.

Very very true.
