Dairy (Cows): Cows produce milk the same reason humans do; to nourish their son. Calves on dairy farms are taken away from their mother and violently killed all so that humans can have their mothers milk instead. Cows spend their entire lives standing on concrete floors, and others are crowded in muddy lots. Workers subject young cows to painful mutilations and amputations rarely using any pain killers. Cows too sick are left to slowly suffer and die. ProcessFrom the moment they hatch the egg industry subjects chicks to horrors few of us can even imagine. At the factory workers roughly and quickly; separate the males from the females because male chicks don't lay eggs and don't grow quickly enough. Then they are immediately killed after hatching. Male chicks are typically thrown in giant grinding machines while still alive while still alive. This is acceptable from the egg industry. Another killing method is to throw chicks in a trash bag all bunched up to suffocate. More than 200 million male chicks are killed on their first day of life each year in the U.S. The females have it even worse. They cut the beaks with hot metal blades to reduce being pecked at. This leads to chronic pain. After backing they get moved to cages that they will end up spending the rest of their lives in. Most chickens never see sunlight or breath fresh air. They are packed so tightly they can't even spread their wings, walk, or turn around without squishing other birds aside. Most chickens get their necks and wings and wings stuck in between the cages. Undercover investigations go coast to coast to reveal the culture of cruelty behind meat production including stomping on birds and throwing live hens in piles of dead chickens.
For almost their entire 4 month pregnancy, mom pigs are locked up in metal stalls barely larger than their own bodies. Most animals get open sores or scratchers. The workers often abuse the animals to move them. The workers rip the piglets skin, the testicles and tails. Many of them die from pain, they will become sick or hurt, and the ones that are not growing fast enough are killed one of the methods to kill them is, they put them in plastic bins and gas them with carbon dioxide. Others get killed by being slammed head first to the ground. Pigs raised for meat typically live 5-6 months, thats one fraction of their life span. ProcessMany of us have heard about everything that happens to the animals that are being brought to our plates, and still we don't make changes. Im not telling you to completely stop eating meats but try to not eat it as frequently. If we do this less animals would be abused and get killed for us. The average American consumes around 54 pounds of beef, 46 pounds of pork, and 83 pounds of chicken per year. Thats about 1 cow in 20 years, 1 pig in 10 years, 40 chickens in 1 year. Per person. |
