While we’re all shuddering at the abuse of newborn male calves (Blanket
condemnation of abuse of bobby calves, December 1), let’s think for a
moment of the treatment meted out to babies killed in the womb.
An investigation has ‘uncovered calves killed by farm workers thrown into
piles’. How do we think the dismembered bodies of babies killed by medical
professionals are treated? Except for organs which are saleable (eyes, brains
and livers fetch a good price) they’re disposed of as so much rubbish.
But we wait in vain for this ‘cruel and violent abuse’ to be similarly
‘uncovered’ by the media. Why?
Because we don’t want to know. What the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t
grieve over.
