Does Stopping the Slaughter of Downed Animals Help to End Animal Suffering?
Comments by Gene Baur - 7 Jun 2007

Yes, supply and demand are critical factors, and both are influenced by perception and attitude.

I believe an attitude that urges respect and kindness (eg. no downer policies), even if not followed to its logical end is preferable to one that considers egregious cruelty as a beneficial tool for educating people.

There are many ways to educate people, and ideally our means and our ends will ultimately be consistent....

I hope that makes sense.

Best,

Gene
