The Truth Behind the Producers of Your Meat

Slaughterhouses are one of the best definitions of animal cruelty. From cramming to hormonal injections, the life of a factory farm animal is short, simple and a hell no creature should ever have to experience. The fact is there is no green grass for grazing and the salt & pepper you put on your meat isn’t going to sugarcoat the truth.

Every business has one goal in mind, to generate the highest revenue with the least amount of cost. To achieve this, businesses will cut corners and the money they save is paid for by the lives of others. The Construction Industry is the prime example for cutting costs. Whether it is defective equipment, low quality materials or unsafe design, the fact remains that the corners are cut at the expense of the consumers. It is the same with slaughterhouses. It takes a lot of money to factory farm due to the fact that animals require constant supplies of food, water, and shelter in order for them to grow large enough to be slaughtered, or to produce milk or eggs for human consumption. Factory farming is the result of techniques for keeping animals alive and producing at the lowest costs possible, using cost-saving measures such as smaller cages and extreme cramming.

Animal cruelty comes in many forms ranging from phisical and emotional abuse to neglet and in extreme cases, sexsual abuse (both forcing animals to breed and the other kind). All cruelty is wrong, just because you give it a nice name doesn't mean it's a nice concept. Factory farming is exactly as it sounds. You build a slaughterhouse, call it a factory and put a bunch of animals inside.

billions of animals slaughtered every year in the United States are intelligent, sensitive beings capable of feeling a range of emotions.They are driven by the same primal encticances as us. They wish to reproduce and raise their young, all the while maintaining complex social structures. Both are made impossible under the conditions of modern farming. Instead, they live short, painful, disease-ridden lives. But nothing compares to the cruelty of chickens. Chickens make up 90% of all slaughtered animals. Their deaths are subject to effectively no federal regulation, meaning the birds are frequently frozen, boiled, drowned or suffocated to death.

Factory farming makes up most of America’s cheap meat that you buy at a grocery store. It is virtually impossible to replace factory farming with the way things are right now. Traditional farming-style is an impractical solution but is the only option at the present moment. The two major reasons farming-style is an impractical solution is the amount of land it would take and the greenhouse gasses created by the animals' waste products. So we fall back onto GMOs or genetically modified organisms. So unless we all want to start eating lab made food, we should stop the cruelty inside of factory farms.

Stop the Cruelty. Stop the Neglect.
