Please. And they have just as little concern for the well-being of the operator, who are usually foreigners who can't get another job (who in the right mind WANTS to work there?).

But as long as the animal arrives alive it can still be slaughtered, so nobody cares.
Animals can't talk and have no rights, so they're the perfect victims, no industry would ever care if they suffer. If you think everything's fine then you're lying to yourself.
