I have never posted comments about whether a particular action has made me lose my faith in humanity, or whether it restored my faith in humanity.

But after reading the linked article, my faith in humanity is definitely shaken.

The meat industry's focus is not on ending animal abuse, but on making it more difficult for animal abuse to be discovered and proven. In other words, they are determined not to change their ways, because (I imagine) doing so will be inconvenient, and might cause them to make slightly less money than they make now.

How can any state legislators support such moves (and introduce these bills)? Do they have no ability to empathize with another living being? If no, are they fit to be our leaders?

Edit: Typo.
