Animal cruelty needs to be punished by law as it happened in this case. Farmed animals are at the mercy of humans and have no means to defend themselves or speak up to avoid victimization. As Christians, we are called to show mercy and love to all Creation, and in this way participate in bringing peace and harmony to Earth.
