Whilst this is cruel by all the standards of animal care that we aspire to in the west we ?MUST remember that the people that do this have little or no other choice when it comes to putting food in their families bellies.
When you are living in what we consider to be a hovel and starving to death the list of things that you "arent prepared to do" tends to shrink over time.
I am in no way condoning mutilation of an animal but put yourself in their shoes (or bare feet)
