Did You Ever Stop To Notice?
“The question is not, “Can they reason?” nor, “Can they talk?” but rather, “Can they suffer?”” – Jeremy Bentham. Every year, 58 billion land animals are consumed. Billions of these animals experience cruelty that is considered “humane” in today’s world. Chickens live 3-6 weeks and have incredibly rapid growth due to antibiotics and an unhealthy diet. Billions of animals suffer each year. Their safety, comfort or pain does not matter in the eyes of corporate moguls who only see animals as a fast way to profit. It does not matter if the animal experiences freezing rain or scorching heat, if they break a wing or a leg. Animals suffer cruelty and abuse at the hands of humans for the sake of profit and production. They live in horrible living conditions, are considered substandard by corporations and successful hotshots, appalling transportation and suffer horrible inhumane deaths.
Animals that are bred for food have extremely poor living conditions. They are subjected to painful and inhumane procedures to prevent distasteful behavior caused by living in unnatural and bleak environments. For example hens that lay eggs have their beak seared off when they are just a couple of days old to avoid “Feather pecking”. Whereas pigs are raised in miserable, lifeless pens and have nothing to do. Out of boredom, they resort to chewing one another’s tails. This sometimes leads to damage and harm. Rather than improve the living conditions, farmers remove their tails when they are piglets. These animals are kicked and abused by the workers and it is considered legal. An example would be how chickens are grabbed several at time, by their legs and are carried upside down into cages for transportation. In addition, before giving birth, a pregnant sow is moved from the tiny incubation crate to a straw-less "farrowing" crate for birthing which restrains her so she cannot escape her piglets, but they have complete access to her. The piglets are weaned
