P ril and Animals Angels. The animals are beaten not only on their flanks but also across their face and their head. In some cases the hitting is performed by young boys.
Some cattle are so lame they can barely walk and are obviously in great pain and distress.
A rope is tied to the animal s front leg. The other end of the rope is attached to a vehicle which then drives away, dragging the helpless animal along the ground and, in one case, hauling an animal up a ramp on its back. These animals are clearly in great distress. Such animals should not be allowed to remain in this condition, but should instead be milked. In particular, we believe that the markets at Ciney and Anderlecht should be closed down and that those responsible for the inhumane treatment shown in the film should be prosecuted.
