Quote:One gets the feeling that, much like with live exports, animal welfare is taking a back seat due to the financial revenues involved ...

I hate to think that this is true, but it does explain a lot. You don't bite the hand that feeds you, not if you want to get fed again. It does matter where funding comes from. That must be why it is private groups that are fighting animal cruelty.
