It looks like brutal, inhumane slaughter. But what would happen if it were stopped? Would our lives over here be affected? Probably not. Would the people involved have their lives affected? Probably. I'm not sure I agree with any kind of action against people who do this. Yeah, it's barbaric and obviously wrong in our eyes, but what right do we have in enforcing our own brand of right and wrong on other people? They would have to stop it themselves. They obviously see nothing wrong with it, so they think they are right. Right and wrong are always subjective and never universal. And even if they only eat them partially and then leave the rest to rot, that's fine from a natural point of view. That's why food rots to begin with...to return to the ecosystem as nutrients for other living beings. Now, if the process of allowing these half-eaten corpses to rot negatively effects the ecosystem, then that would be cause for alarm.

Summary: I, as well as many others here, see this as wrong. But we don't have the authority to stop them from doing it. The best we can do is simply hope that they will stop. And making a petition for it is unlikely to do squat...it's no different than praying for change. Two hands working can accomplish far more than a thousand hands clasped in prayer, and the same can be said for petition-signing.
