Of course many, many 1,000`s are slaughtered every day, so we can`t possibly save them all!! The more we try to save, the more time, money and resources will be diverted from campaigns and awareness raising that result in people changing their diets! In my opinion, far too many animal rights minded people get caught up in `mopping up` the mess that animal abusers leave behind, rather than actually dealing with the source of the problem!!

Just my opinion! I don`t want to start an argument, but of course a constructive debate is welcome! :)
