i watched a documentary about unlikely and strange animal behavior.
one story was where a leopard killed a baboon, and as she was going to eat it, she noticed a little fluff ball wriggling out from underneath the dead baboon. it was a baby baboon and it was clueless as to what what was going on. it was so innocent and defenseless, and the leopard suddenly directed it's attention to the baby baboon, and it's maternal instinct "kicked in" and it was sniffing the baby and acting gently toward it.
soon afterward, hyenas became aware of the dead baboon, and it was because the leopard spent so much time inspecting the baby that it failed to drag the dead baboon up into the trees to get it away from hyenas before they noticed.
instead of dragging the dead baboon up the tree to protect it's kill, it gently bit the back of the neck of the baby baboon and took it up the tree instead to protect it from the hyenas.
the leopard licked the baby baboon clean, and the baby baboon bonded with the leopard and they slept together for a few hours. the leopard clearly had love for the baby baboon.
unfortunately, the baby baboon died some hours later because of the cold. nature is very savage.
i have found a youtube clip of the segment, and it is heart breaking to me.

Yes and you seem to be affected by cognitive dissonance , that veal video of yours was pretty tame, as was the footage of Indonesian slaughter, remember the 7.30 Report said that wasn't the worst of it.
And I'm supposed to feel sorry for millionaire graziers loss of trade am I ? farmers profiting from animal misery. Don't make me laugh ditto when the claimed they "didn't know"
I wouldn't lose any sleep if they hanged themselves ? Why should I care for their welfare when they don't care about the welfare of their animals ?
You know NZ ended live exports nearly 20 years ago. Why cant we? shows how useless our "journalists " are in this country why didn't any of them propose this to the agriculture minister?
