The Truth Behind Cattle Trade
A recent exposé showed unimaginable cruelty inflicted on cattle who
is exported from Australia to Indonesia. Every year, Australia exports
500,000 cattle end up in Indonesian slaughterhouses and this senseless
torture has been ignored by Australian officials who assured the public
that the welfare of these animals is “generally good”. However,
extensive footage taken at different Indonesian slaughterhouses, showed
a range of horrifying acts of brutality such as kicking, hitting,
eye-gouging and tail-breaking - as workers try to force the cattle to go
into the slaughter boxes.

It seems inexplicable to me that we can call ourselves “humans” and
act with such barbarism! God’s animals are at our mercy and therefore
depend solely on our ability to show compassion. Jesus’ ministry was
heavily centered on compassion, mercy and love; and Christians, as
followers of Christ, should not support industries that cause pain and
misery to any creature. Transitioning to a plant-based diet helps us
show compassion and mercy to farmed animals.
