As always, vested interest and big money overide decency and rational fairness. We live in a world drenched in violence and suffering, and even simple steps towards something only marginally better and less brutal, are resisted by those who profit from cruelty and inhumanity.

Men, women, children, animals - it makes little difference to those who profit from violence and the pain of others. CFIA has a long history of aquiescense to big money players. Here is yet another nail in the credibility of our so called "public" servants. No wonder our society is falling apart.
