cruelty to cows?

Who says cows are killed cruelly?They don't feel a thing-just instantaneous death by bolt gun (compressed air).Old dairy cows who are close to death-calving problems,mastitis,milk fever,old age etc.are used for burgers because of their low fat.Meat is high protein and essential for a healthy diet (I haven't seen many healthy looking vegetarians!)The Native Americans had the right idea-only kill what you need and use everything from the beast.Let them live a healthy life-I don't believe in cattle lots-and kill them for food as needed.But,as is done,make it a quick & painless.I have worked a number of years in abattoirs,and they are stringently monitored by the government and animal rights groups.Not cruelty is allowed,or would be tolerated by the workers ,who are animals owners themselves,in most cases.
