All kinds of things can go wrong in farming, and any job. Remember mad cow a few years ago??
If they are in an industry like farming, Where so much can go wrong, they should be more prepared, I'm sure they have insurance, money put away or something to cover them when things go wrong.
They knew what was happening to their cattle so they deserve it!!
I just can't feel sorry for them, I don't care about their sob stories, and it not just because I'm a Vegan and care about animals. Heaps of Non Vegans also care, Even 3 FARMERS i met..
