The recent devastating floods in parts of Northern England have resulted in a massive collaborative effort to save the lives and property of those affected.
The recent devastating floods in parts of Northern England have resulted in a massive collaborative effort to save the lives and property of those affected. But amidst the understandable concern for these human victims, we must also remember the hundreds – possibly thousands – of animals who will perish, largely unremarked upon.
As in the spring of 2013, when heavy snow and freezing weather led to the traumatic deaths of over 100,000 animals – mostly sheep – the latest flood victims have received virtually no mention in any of the national media. And even in the online farming press, there are just sketchy accounts that are devoid of any mention of welfare impacts. They amount to a brief audit of losses.
The public must give up the idea that it is ‘natural’ to leave sheep out in fields and on hills, even in brutal winter and summer weather. The reality is that their lives are harsh, their suffering is considerable and unless they die beforehand, their last terrifying moments are in a slaughterhouse.
Being upset by their plight is the compassionate response, but to make a difference, please consider adopting a humane, vegan diet.
