Note

There are several comments (by Mongolians) who observe that Mongolians generally treat their animals with respect. #pastoralism-livestock-wellbeing The images in this video report selectively show instances of #animal-cruelty , which may involve cases where hired day workers are paid by the goat and thus have no incentive to work slowly and gently. The video ends with an image that purports to show a crying goat. A scene of a goat being treated with alcohol (as antiseptic) for a wound inflicted during combing is presented as evidence of cruelty, along with images of goats being dragged by the leg and held to the ground. Scenes from the slaughterhouse are not shown in the video but are presented in the accompanying web page.
