, but seriously the fact that they are headed for the slaughter house doesnt mean they should be treated that way.

OMO IBO:

ROTFLMAO

Mbeki, I am definitely not interested in whatever you are smoking and/or drinking but I do know you need to STOP!

udezue:

DANG!!! I read Mbeki's comment. LMAOOOOO U do have a point. Total contradiction.

udezue:



Its kind of hilarious  to talk about animal rights in a nation where human rights doesn't even exist but the way a society treats its less fortunate is bad reflection on the its people.
But lol its still a great cause.

@poster
Animal rights ke ? I've not heard of that before in nigeria anyways go to mushin and see serious Ram fight gambling,

becomrich3:

we are talking of a country where human have no right, someone is talking of chicken right or gay right. Human being have no right. Dont you people get it.

Look at this satellite picture, does that look like a nation where human have right, Nowsomone is talking of chicken right. you make me laugh.

Jakumo:

The way in which animals are treated in any culture is a direct reflection of how humans beings are treated by that society. Destitutes who die in the streets of Nigeria are NOT promptly collected by the "cadaver men" as they are in Mumbai, India. No sir, in Nigeria, human bodies are often simply ground to shreds by passing traffic, or just left to putrefy, swell and burst by the roadside, as indifferent pedestrians walk by, all totally inured to such horrific sights, by frequent exposure.

In such a surreal landscape of human misery and abject squalor, the spectacle of livestock being subjected to prolonged torture will never raise an eyebrow, any more than does the sight of accused witches or prick thieves being lynched and set alight by baying mobs. "Welcome to Hell", is what that Lagos airport road billboard sign ought to read, to really prepare visitors to Nigeria for what they will inevitably witness.

Driver fined $100 in Va. for having goat in trunk


BEDFORD, Va. – A driver has been convicted of animal cruelty and fined $100 after Virginia authorities found a goat stuffed in the trunk of her car.

Bedford County sheriff's deputies discovered the goat bound and in the trunk during a drunken driving checkpoint in June.

Fiona Ann Enderby of Washington, D.C., told police she bought the goat from a farmer to give to four passengers in her car, who are from Kenya but reside in Lynchburg in central Virginia. The goat was panting heavily and animal control officers say the temperature in the trunk was 94 degrees.

The goat is now living at a Bedford County farm.
