Force watering cattle is cruel and illegal

SOME OX SLAUGHTER HOUSES in Quanjiao and Laian, East China's Anhui province reportedly force about 60 kilograms water into each ox in order to increase their net weight before slaughtering them. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

A video that went viral online shows how the illegal slaughterhouses did the cruel deed: They put one end of a water pipe deep into an ox's nostril, with the other end linked to a water tap.

The torment of the animals can last as long as 12 hours before they are slaughtered. Some of them are in so much pain that they kneel in tears. Maybe oxen are different from humans, but doubtlessly they feel pain.
