The sale yards
in South Africa
are coming under scrutiny
the animals transported
in a less than happy way
in Vryburg we see
Bonsmara cattle loaded very badly
animals not respected
not cared for
actually
tied up not given water
in a sorry state
they must respect their animals
who have a long long wait
often in the hot sun
and needs must be pursued
its not fair to keep animals
without care and attention
and some of them
appear now to have none
