Suffering of animals on Factory Farms ... Pollutes Environment

While the suffering of all animals on factory farms is similar, each type of farmed animal faces different types of cruelty:

* Chickens killed for their flesh in the United States are bred and drugged to grow so quickly that their hearts, lungs, and limbs often can't keep up. Read more about chickens.
* Hens used for eggs live six or seven to a battery cage the size of a file drawer, thousands of which are stacked tier upon tier in huge, filthy warehouses. Read more about laying hens.
* Cattle are castrated, their horns are ripped out of their heads, and third-degree burns (branding) are inflicted on them, all without any pain relief. Read more about cows raised for their flesh.
* Cows used for their milk are drugged and bred to produce unnatural amounts of milk; they have their babies stolen from them shortly after birth and sent to notoriously cruel veal farms so that humans can drink the calves' milk. Read more about dairy cows.
* Mother pigs on factory farms are confined to crates so small that they are unable to turn around or even lie down comfortably. Read more about pigs.
* Fish on aquafarms spend their entire lives in cramped, filthy enclosures, and many suffer from parasitic infections, diseases, and debilitating injuries. Conditions on some farms are so horrendous that 40 percent of the fish may die before farmers can kill and package them for food. Read more about fish.
* Turkeys' beaks and toes are burned off with a hot blade. Many suffer heart failure or debilitating leg pain, often becoming crippled under the weight of their genetically manipulated and drugged bodies. Read more about turkeys.

QUESTIONS FOR MY AUDIENCE :

• IF WHAT YOU EAT IS DISEASED, WOULD IT MAKE SENSE THAT YOU COULD ALSO DEVELOP SICKNESS WITHIN YOUR BODY? 

THESE ARE QUESTIONS FOR GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE TO DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT AND DEMAND THAT THINGS CHANGE. IT'S ALL OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE A BETTER EARTH. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.
