7 Things Done to Baby Animals That We’d Never Dream of Doing to the Most Evil Criminals
When we think of baby animals like chicks, lambs, piglets or calves, innocence and cuteness often come to mind. Most of us will never deliberately hurt a baby animal, not to mention torturing him or her.
However, when it comes to our food choices, many of us pay other people to torture baby animals (and adult animals) in the most horrific ways.
The following examples are just some of the things that are done to baby animals in order to produce meat, dairy or eggs:
1. Killing male calves with axes to their heads

In the dairy industry, many farms decide to get rid of their male calves (since unlike the female calves - male calves won't produce milk) by bashing them in the head with a hammer or an axe.
Although dairy farms can generate profit from sending the male calves to slaughter, some farms prefer to be done with the male calves as soon as they are born.
2. Grinding baby chicks and ducklings alive

In the egg industry, male chicks who are just one day old are thrown into a grinder and macerated alive, simply because they won't produce eggs. One method for sorting out the male chicks is to use a genetically modified breed in which the males have a darker shade of yellow.
In the foie gras industry, it is the female ducklings that are thrown alive into an electric mincer after they are born. Only male ducklings are kept and raised as they gain weight much faster compared to females.
Sadly, the horrible practice of grinding baby birds alive is not exclusive to the industries of foie gras or eggs. The same violent death awaits weak or deformed chicks or baby turkeys who are bred for meat as well. Since the meat industry uses a breed that was genetically altered to grow very fast, many baby birds hatch with different deformities.
3. Ripping the testicles of piglets (without anesthetics)

Generally, the USDA doesn’t allow meat with a boar taint smell to enter the meat supply. Boar taint is associated with the hormones that are naturally produced by intact males. Therefore, nearly 100% of male piglets who are raised for meat in the US are castrated.
However, even in countries where it is not mandatory, piglets are still being castrated so they don’t develop that smell. A very common procedure would involve ripping or cutting the babies’ testicles, without the use of any painkillers or anesthetics.
Sadly, piglets are not the only baby animals who undergo this painful procedure. Lambs, kids and even baby cows, also have their testicles removed without pain killers. The reasons for castrating babies vary from assuring the meat smells in a certain way, to make the animals more submissive.
4. Burning off the beaks of baby birds
The process of burning off the beaks of baby birds such as turkeys in the meat industry or chicks in the egg industry is known as ‘debeaking’. This process, like most mutilations done to animals in the food industry, is done without any painkillers or anesthetics. The beak will most commonly be shortened permanently, though sometimes regrowth may occur.
Birds in both the egg and meat industry will be forced to live in sheds with thousands of others of their own kind. In such stressful situations, the birds can resort to self-mutilation, bullying, and pecking. This is why the industries cut the beaks of baby birds - to decrease the number of injuries.
Debeaking is an extremely painful process because the beak is very sensitive and full of pain receptors, blood vessels, and nerve endings. Despite this, most egg farms, including those labeled “cage-free” and “free-range”, purchase chicks who had their beaks cut.
5. Kidnapping babies from their mothers

In the dairy industry, it's standard procedure to take the calf – whether male or female – away from their mother shortly after birth so that we, instead of them, can get the milk.
In order for cows to produce milk, they need to be pregnant. And just like humans, cows carry their babies for nine months. However, usually, within just a few hours of birth, the babies are snatched away from their mothers. Female calves will be forced to suffer the same fate as their mothers, while male calves are killed shortly after, many times to produce veal.
Unfortunately, the dairy industry is not limited to cows as goats and sheep are forced to go through this traumatic experience as well.
6. Forcing baby birds to grow without a mom
All birds in the food industry, such as the chicks raised for egg production or the turkeys and ducks raised for meat, never see their mothers or feel the warmth of a nest. Instead, they are hatched in large incubators and huddled around heat lamps to keep warm.
Incubators can hold up to thousands of eggs that are hatched in a controlled environment. When they hatch, chicks, baby turkeys and ducklings can be heard calling for their mothers, but to no avail.
All of these babies rely on their mothers for protection and guidance. At this age, they just want to follow and be near their mother, who is supposed to take care of everything else. When we force baby birds to grow up without a mother figure, it causes them a lot of stress and anxiety.
7. Slamming the heads of piglets against concrete
PACing (also known as thumping) is a term that means “Pounding Against Concrete”. This is a method used by the meat industry to kill unwanted piglets.
Sick or non-viable baby piglets will be picked up by their hind legs and slammed against concrete. This causes a massive head trauma which often leads to an agonizing and slow death. Pigs who don't die immediately are left to squirm in agony and some even have seizures.
So what can I do to help these babies?
hope all human race die someday
Why not help it along right now? You can be the first.
Great site. Pl put me on Ur mailing list.
Thanx.

Every single atrocities performed to this innocent animals will no go vein..it will come back to them haunting..and they would wonder why this is happening to them..but in the mean time poor animals are getting tortured to death. Oh God. How can we save them. ? Most of the people who talk about animal rights are nonVegitarian.it means they do their love for animal is fake. How can you eat someone whime you love. Only demons would to it. And today most of the men are demons .
Wenn diese monströsen Ruckler sich Menschen nennen, sind sie Säcke scheiße und sie verdienen die Art von Behandlung, die sie an diesen armen Seelen tun.
I want to skin them alive,, and boil them in hot oven,, and feed them to these animals,,
people need to know & see what happens to these poor creatures behind closed doors…
This should be shown to everyone. They need to see just what they are paying for. To see the innocents treated this way would make many people vegans. Have a heart and GoVegan.
Utterly deplorable.
The most evil animal on this planet is the 2 legged humanid. It makes me sick to look at these pictures but as a Vegan I am pleased not to be a cause of their suffering. How anyone can eat meat or fish after seeing this is beyond me! If you struggle with the concepts shown here imagine that every animal pictured is your pet dog or cat! How does it feel?
We do not need to eat animals of any kind, nor do we need to wear their skins, or drink their milk!
It is not an effort to change, but it does take belief, belief in yourself and in what you are doing, be prepared to be attacked by others and ridiculed. I was. But I am still vegan and not likely to change!
We will have our day. My only heartbreak is the
suffering of these innocent creatures until this time finally breakthroughs
Bitte lieber Gott, Ende das
I am just speechless on these cruel acts of my own specie , I wish it must be stopped , at least these torturous way of hurting & killing the poor young birds & babies! I am ashamed ! 1000 apologies from my side to those innocent birds & animals .
It must be stopped as soon as possible.
How can we stop this
Punish those bludy basterds
Evil. Disgusting evil!!!
Omg how can people be so heartless and still sleep at night
Is this evil taking place in the UK too what countries are responsible??
I used to be a free range pig farmer I never saw anything like this, our abourtars are highly vetted transporting animals have to be documented from play a to place thousands in fines or prison if not done please reply.
To be honest , it doesn’t really matter how regulated abattoirs are , the animals are all terrified when they get sent to them , they can smell the fear and death of the animals that have gone before them ( yes , I have been to one ) and while I am sure that some farms treat their animals better than others , we still do not have the right to take the life of a sentient animal when we have no need to do so. Can I suggest you watch ‘Land of Hope and Glory ‘ on YouTube , it was all filmed undercover in UK farms , including High Welfare and Red Tractor approved ones , in the las 5 or 6 years
Nice to see there are so many decent people who care about the innocent animals we torture and kill. We do not need meat to survive, look how many Vegans and Vegetarians that live long and healthy lives on this Planet! DO NOT EAT MEAT SAVE A POOR ANIMAL FROM A HIDEOUS DEATH.
There’s nothing on this planet that we can’t kill a or destroy ..and humans are the only species on this planet that kills it own kind strickly for pleasure …. so as I say way to often…WHO ARE THE REAL ANIMALS HERE ????
Disgusting humans. Totally agree with all above.i was stopped at a train crossing. The boom gates went down and watching the cattle train going by. This poor cow looked at me. I swear she looked me in the eyes. It felt like a wave came over me. I started bawling my eyes out sitting there. That was 12 yrs ago I turned vege.Then about 4 yrs later I turned vegan. I can’t stand knowing there are cruel damn monsters out there doing this to God’s creatures.
I am a vegan for 23 years.. I sis because I joined PETA and shown the evil of factory farming..i cannot go by the meat counters in the stores without thinking about the animals and how they suffer for this.. makes me sad.
Vegan, Vegan Vegan. No one will ever convince me otherwise.
Monsters,it takes a certain type of person to inflict this sadistic cruelty on innocents how do they see their suffering it is sickening they are not human compassion has gone it’s hard to see these photos I think all should see this horrendous cruelty no matter how hard at just what goes on behind closed doors to these poor animals to let this continue we are all guilty.Ihave gone vegan,,after watching earthlings I never knew that horror like this was being done to them I was physically sick couldn’t stop weeping It’s got to be stopped end this suffering people together can move mountains I am now atheist none with any feelings can ignore this hell once aware of it,it makes you wish you were there to to stop them and comfort the suffering animals
pure evil
This is Fkng Disgusting, You Fkng humans are assholes, and will get yours you Heartless Evil Scum of the Earth, have this done to them and see how they like it, how the FK do you sleep at night these laws need to change Animal abuse how can this go on
Breaks my heart. I stopped eating animals and dairy 2 yrs ago. Ashamed it took me so long. Now I am aware.
Twenty plus years ago I saw some videos about factory farms and what goes on there. It made me sick to my stomach and the next day I made up my mind that I could no longer look at meat the same way ever again. When I went grocery showing I couldn’t go past the meat counters with packaged meats without the scenes I had seen flashing in my minds eye. Several months later, a friend suggested I might like to try a Restaurant she had gone to that had fabulous steaks. I said thanks but I don’t eat cows. She looked at me funny, and she said you mean beef? I said “There was a time I would have said that, but some months ago I saw videos of the way animals are treated so we can eat them. It was so horrendous that I can’t even go past the meat counter without feeling ill.” She looked at me as if I was crazy, and she has never spoken to me about going to a restaurant ever again. That’s okay!
I have not thought about eating a cow, a pig, a lamb, etc.ever again. Do I miss a juicy hamburger, spareribs, etc. Not in a very long time!
Over 20 years ago I as videos of what goes on at factory farms. I was so sick of what goes on that I decided to stop eating meat. 20+ years later I can’t even look at the packaged meat in the supermarket because the scenes that I saw in videos flash through my minds eye, and I feel sick to my stomach. I get teased when I tell start to tell someone who tells me that they had a awesome steak in some restaurant. That I ought to try their steaks, and I tell them I don’t eat cows. They stare at me because I didn’t say that I don’t eat Beef. Then I have to explain why I say it that way. It turns them off. Oh well, I need them to understand where I’m coming from and how I feel about animal torture!
Evil bas6atds. Where is this being dine. We need to stand together.
Man if I had only one power it would be to save all animals from this type of life!
SICK
Animal or Human we are flesh and bone. Whomever is in charge of such animal all demonstrated and explained above… please don’t be someone who sits behind a desk or away from the actions of the decisions you enforce. Are you a man? Will you allow your testicicles to be cut by yourself or another without pain relief & anaesthetic, then continue your daily life?
Are you a woman, will you allow yourself or someone to cut your private parts without anaesthetic and pain relief, then go on to continue your daily life?
We all feel , we all bleed, we all sense what’s about to happen be positive or negative.
I can only ask that you consider what animals endure that you have a say in, first think before signing decisions to go ahead.

V Johnson

This behavior is so disgusting! I can barely believe that human beings can do this kind of HATE to such innocent beings… I am sick to my stomach!! Some folks need to have a conscience and a heart… 🙁
this is beyond all human comprehension,,,,those low level scumbags,,,satanic minions need to be shot,,,in all seriousness,,,,this are not human,,,,not even sub human,,,i think a word for that has to be invented,,,those are demonds litterally,,,in bodies that look like humans,,,some are Reptilians some are holograms,,,,so shooting them is not killing in that sense,,,those are the charakters that want to take over our planet,,,its also called the NWO or the new world order,,,,right now there is a battle,,,the final battle ,,Armageddon,,,it truly is,,,wake up and look around,,,,,
looking at this makes me sick to my stomach,,,i like to hang them ALL,,,i will not say what i really like to do,,,,,but hell is too good for them,,,
Like many other animals, humans are omnivores, and therefore there is no reason we should stop eating meat, anymore than any other species of animal that is omnivorous should stop eating meat.
Please stop shoving your weird morality down our throats. You act like the religious right when it comes to this stuff.
If you truly study the human body, you will see that our bodies were not designed to eat meat.
I want to kill ur child…I want to eat them..May be it will be good…Do u agree??
This is just so hurtful and sad. These lowlife idiots have no heart. Karma is waiting for all of you doing that to harmless baby animals. I hope u rot in hell
oooh… I’ve got something weird to shove down your throat….
You have every right to eat what you want, however I don’t think you can call wanting to avoid animal torture a “weird morality”. Instead of going vegan, why not try sourcing your meat and dairy from a reliable ethical source? This is something I’m trying to do. It’s difficult because it requires research and it’s less convenient than just buying from the Supermarket. It’s more expensive because the shops I need to use aren’t mega-corporations that can price crunch. It’s a step I’m taking this year to try to make the world a better place.
You suggest, to help, we go vegan for so many days. Why vegan over vegetarian? After reading this article, Im more inclined to go vegetarian but…..vegan!
Because the majority of those things would still happen if you were vegetarian. Dairy and eggs are just as, if not more cruel than just meat.
Liz I was the same as you . I looked into the cruelty that goes on in dairy industry and that made me change to vegan . Watch Dominiom and Cowspiry.What the Health documentaries .
This article makes me realize a lot more why people decide to go vegetarian or vegan. I am a meat lover but will forever more think about the whole picture when I’m eating an animal. My goal is to live more of a vegetarian life not only to live longer by having cleaner arteries but to hopefully save some of this abuse being done. Hopefully everyone can start enjoying meatless Monday’s. You gotta start somewhere. ☮️
What about killing plants to eat them?
Plants have feelings too!
Humans have to kill something to survive. It has to be a plant or an animal.
I eat plants and animals.
Ok minerals are not being killed. I eat minerals too.
While I agree with you on most everything it does seem that possibly maybe we can find some better way to be more human during this procedure and it would be more kinder to both the animals and it would help humans sleep better at night
I wont to see you ther Suffering like them and then you will talk
You’re an idiot. I feel sorry for your poor wife…or partner, if God forbid you have one.
Most vegetable foods to not need to be killed to eat them. They are seeds that carry the potential for life but have not expressed it.
Wheat, rice, quinoa and all the cereals
Red Beans, chick peas and all the pulses
Olive, Suflower, sesame and other oil seeds, that are also foods
Almonds, chestnuts, coconuts, and all the nuts.
Cacao beans (chocolate)
Apples, apricots, pomegranates, and all fleshy fruits
Cucumber, marrow, pumpkin, tomato, potato, etc.
You don’t mention the first picture of animals. Suspended on a hook. What’s happening here
Hi Ros!
In the first picture we can see how the lambs are kept in a device that prevents them from moving and lifts them to the height of the workers.
They are restrained so the workers can easily castrate them, tag their ears, cut their tails, vaccinate them, etc. In most farms, these procedures are performed without painkillers and while the lambs are fully aware.
Sorry not paying to eat vegan my cousins vegan nothing against them of course but sorry I wish there was a different was like a put to sleep medicine like they do with old dogs or wait till they are old and pass or injured idk something more human I love all animals
You value your taste more then someones life…tells a lot abt you…
Also you don’t like the animals!you are making a selection of the animals you can look as pet and the one you eat!
So much abt love
An animal is not a “someone”
“There has to be a more humane way to kill them”
THERE’S NOT!
Ever think that maybe we should just not kill them at all. If these port creatures have to suffer like this, maybe the entire human race should reconsider its wants and needs. There is no need for this kind of violence in the world. No person would ever be treated like this, so why should these animals with no voice. No way to tell us it’s not okay. Humans are the most destructive force inn Earth, but no ones stops us from our horrible crimes. We don’t deserve these ‘luxuries’, just as they don’t deserve our brutality.
Civilizaci musí provázet povinnost humánního zacházení se zvířaty.Jak ve velkochovech, tak i na jatkách. Týrání se pro civilizované lidi neakceptovatelné. Lidi jsou zrůdy a nezaslouží si sdílet planetu se zvířaty.
There are more humane ways to kill animals. These practices seem too horrible!
For all the non meat eaters who say eating meat is wrong, unacceptable and hate on those who do enjoy eating meat..
Are we going to turn other carnivores into vegans too? Humans are, by design carnivores.. we have the freedom to eat or not eat anything we chose. Not one choice is right over the other!
The key here is to change the way humans treat animals.. how they are treated when alive and being grown as food and then prepared for food.. respect the animal, don’t abuse it or cause it to suffer. THAT is the true issue.
How about some outrage for the treatment of human babies …. those being wrongfully killed by their own mothers.. how about lend some attention to what humans physically do to their own unborn simply because they would be an inconvenience. Rather than take measures to prevent a life they didn’t want, humans rather murder their unborn , sometime up to the time of birth.
Humans…….. we are selfish, greedy and all about what WE want.
Humans are omnivores, able to eat both meat and plants. Cats, snakes, and sharks are obligate carnivores. That means that they HAVE TO eat meat. Humans do not. “By design carnivores”? Compare the teeth and digestive tracts of humans to the animals I just mentioned.
Pathetic lame argument.
Wow…your empathy for animals is just outstanding! You do, however, bring up the disgusting act of abortion. I do agree with you…outrage should be aimed here too and, if you see anti-abortion pins, it so often is. However, perhaps it is easy for you to feel this way about abortion because you feel this is morally wrong and therefore wouldn’t do it as I wouldn’t do it.
It becomes more difficult when one is shown something morally wrong to which you are indirectly contributing. The easiest path is to ignore one’s part in the abuse and to divert attention to an equally immoral social behaviour to which one isn’t conributing. The harder, and, of course, the more mature and enlightened path is to accept one’s moral resposibility to all living beings and not to cause such beings harm either directly or indirectly.
The choice not to eat animals sends a clear message to farmers that animals will not be abused in our name. They cannot continue without the financial backing of the consumer.
Love this comment. I agree that its in the method we choose. I have no problem eating less mest if it means cutting of mass production because greed is mostly what causes these places to treat animals this way instead of in a more humane way. I also dont feel the need to eat every damn living thing.
This is sick. Somehow it’s got to stop!
its got to STOP!they didn’t deserve that!
You can stop eating ALL ham products to start and work your way up from there!
This is my plan.
So PERFECTLY put, Guy!!! So many of those who eat meat continuously do their best to justify the UNJUSTIFIABLE. There definitely is no humane way to slaughter an animal. Nor does any animal sacrifice their lives for the humans who exploit them. The whole of the AG Industry is steeped in CRUELTY!!! I HATE how so many turn a blind eye & deaf ear to such ATROCITIES by supporting both the meat & dairy industries. Every animal deserves to live out their lives in PEACE, & should not have to forcefully end up in pieces on someone’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner plates. I’m so pleased that my conscience won’t allow me to eat the flesh of animals, or use dairy products in order to sustain my life.
Actually, there are humane ways to kill animals, as in instantly. We cannot stop the smell of blood and fear in the air at slaughterhouses, though.
We are not going to force anyone that wishes to, to stop eating meat, but we can work for mandatory caring and compassionate husbandry.

What’s happening with the poor lambs in the first picture? Is it something that happens all the time ?
This device is used to “process” the lambs (to castrate them or put tags in their ears, for example). This specific device is not used at every place, but castrating lambs is a standard practice in the meat, dairy and wool industries.
I like meat and sausages. I think the best way is, to breed and raise them up as we did in former times. Each family had her own few animals. It was usual to see chicken, geese, pigs, cows and so on in the garden. When they were slaughtered, each part was used from the animals. Nothing was thrown away. We have lost the value of a life. Not only the value of animal’s life. Social media today is more important than social contacts in real life. The old people next door are lonesome, nobody cares about it. So why should people care for animals?! Everybody says me first. America first, Europe first…. If this behaviour does not change, we will see more and more of these pictures.
Carmen you are right. We’ve lost the values. Those were beautiful times !
Agreed
Although many good people in the world but many and countless evil and very sick and disgusting people who are cold hearts practicing cruelty. There is a special place in hell for those evil people and they will be burn indefinitely
Go Vegan.
It’s the best way to prevent killing and torture as well as not funding it.
Sadly not eatting meat would not stop cruelty . I do believe in eatting meat but prefer humaine killing quickly . I don’t agree with veal production or taking calves away from mother’s. As to the killing of chicks , I don’t agree with that either but it’s what your cats do too. I would like to see the useless public schools used to teach humanity toward animals however
Sandy, there is no such thing as “humane” killing. No sentient being wants to die! Cats on the other hand are obligatory carnivores, they don’t purchase their chicks from a grocery store. HUMANITY towards animals is to go VEGAN that is the only way. Otherwise, watch https://www.dominionmovement.com/watch and then think about things…..
Not eating meat would stop cruelty on a massive scale. It wouldn’t stop nature but it would stop the manmade factory farming system. So yes it would stop a massive amount of misery that humans put into action.
how can you teach humanity towards animals if you ultimately kill them?
There is NO such thing as humane killing. That is one of the most ridiculous catchphrases ever.
death is death. stop trying to comfort yourself. you are still murdering a creature that wanted desperately to live.
But it’s what your cat’s do- but we are not cats. We are humans we should be able to consciously evolve.
Useless public schools? please.
Chloroform? why all the dark age style torture? I don’t understand.

Burgers rulez
Asshole!!
Not eating any meat is the way to go, it would stop this cruelty and the morons behaving this way would be out of work.
These people are disgusting, pure trash
It is just unbelievably cruel! It is up to humans to stop this barbaric acts of cruelty. Awareness is very important. How can we the everyday people act? Create more vegan days in your diet!
It’s jealousy. These animals are clearly so much more human than the pieces of trash who harm them.
What can we do besides not eating their products?
This is not normal how could it get away with this I don’t understand it This is said in breaks my heart and it makes me cry it’s chill and make these animals should be respected and safe e
This is so awful. Why do they get away with it?
Teach this to the children, and perhaps the next generation will put a halt to it. When it tastes good, apparently torture and killing are ‘fair game’.. 🙁 Even the bible says, thou shall not kill. Unless it tastes good it should say.
@ Margaret Harris
Because there are no laws protecting animals in slaughterhouses: all the inspections are done voluntarily by meat industry groups themselves (literally the fox guarding the hen house) and there is no legal requirement for them to have inspections. In many cases animal cruelty laws don’t even apply to factory farms – the laws make special exception for them. For example it’s against the law to cut off your pet’s testicles, but not a pig’s in a farm, because farms have special exemption from animal cruelty laws. The whole system is a complete joke and nobody cares because it’s such a massive industry and money corrupts everything.
As for the psychological reasons about why its allowed to continue: http://www.eatplantsdrinkbeer.com/readup/2016/1/16/veganism-a-tough-pill-to-swallow
I cannot un see what I have read here. Thank you for this hard education. I won’t be going vegan any time soon as I hardly eat meat and dairy now but do enjoy it when I do have it. I have my own hens for eggs. I will think more strongly about where I get my food from and how it has ended its life.
Thank you for showing this reality.
this is the food industry, try watching a few videos on the Fur industry in China…
Same question as above. What is the main pic showing going on? I reposted and have been asked.
This device is used to “process” the lambs (to castrate them or put tags in their ears, for example).
Stop eat them, this is the only way too stop them
Let’s remember other places that animals are used besides on your dinner table as a steak or bacon. Cheese, milk, ice cream, DOG food, animal testing for beauty industry, circus, aquariums…. Keep the list going 🙁
What’s going on in the first pic?
This device is used to “process” the lambs (to castrate them or put tags in their ears, for example).
Thank you for showing this. Until I read this, I was under the imperssion it was only Arabs who were mindless butchers but this has changed that perception.
Arabs are not mindless butchers study how they take care of there horses and you’ll see what I mean. Lol
I am ashamed of beeing a human. But this will never get stopped as long as people eat meat and eggs and use leather.
O” homem fez da terra o inferno para os outros animais”
É na verdade um holocausto :((( contínuo. Stop eat animals, is the way!!
this is awful makes me ashamed to be human how can this be stopped if possible
You stop it by leaving animas off your plate
This seems to be getting worse by the day.
Animal cruelty of some sort seems to be accepted even in the dairy industry.
Why is there no control over this? There are animal welfare laws in most countries so if this is exposed why is nothing done about t.
Why is an animals life worth any less than a humans?
This makes me lose faith in the human race.Not all people of course,but the ones capable if doing this.I understand that they need their jobs.If meat is going to be a mainstay in the human diet,there must me a more humane way.If God judges us,on the way we treat his animals,we are in trouble.WE can’t just continue to turn our heads,and pretend it doesn’t happen.I COULD not ever do any of these terrible acts of cruelty,even if it meant my survival.They safe suicide rates are high amongst those working in slaughterhouses.These images will forever haunt me.I spend so much time praying ,for the suffering of innocent,helpless animals ,not just the ones in the meat/food industry.The thought that some human minds,are capable of causing such suffering,without compassion,and remorse.The Internet is great,in the fact that it is making awareness of the cruel,inhumane and painful misery animals are facing daily.Some of my friends and family get upset,when I post sad images and petitions regarding animals.We have to be their voice,and stand up for them,and give them rights,and justice.Rest in peace my dear animal friends.You matter to many! Let’s hope that we can eventually stop future suffering,misery,and needless terrifying deaths for them.
if theres a humane way to kill a calf for food legally, i should have the right to humanly kill a dog or child. its humane right?
theres nothing humane about any kind of killing. meet and other animal products have been proven to e the cause of heart disease wich is the num 1 cause of death. meat is also the number 1 cause of greenhouse gas pollution, deforestation and world hunger. if you done believe me look it up. theres a great free documentary called H.O.P.E. and i recommend every1 to wach it.
every time you buy an animal product you are literally paying money for this to keep happening. you are the reson its so bad, because you are the one giving them money and paying for it. quit the demand and the supply will drop
You are ridiculous.. have a right to your opinion, but ridiculous.
Plants can feel too.. are you going to stop eating them?
What are we humans ???
Absolutely no words…..! And after processing what I knew long time ago… Has reaffirmed my decision of never consume animal products.. yet it feels me with anger and frustration. The despair of thinking this is happening right now?. It kills Me..!
quel horreur tous ce massacre, je ne comprend pas qu’on laisse faire des choses pareil..
Clearly I feel the calling to help stop this behaviour. Reminds me why I stopped eating meat – not to be a part of the daming culture. Sending love to these poor souls and more in the pipeline.
disgusting made me shiver at the thought of it no one would do this with their children so why do this to selfless animals
Appalling and unbelievable but Yes they do now to full term babies in NY city!
@MA lol not even close. first of all untill it comes out, its a fetus and second of all, no one tortures babies for years like they do here. a fetus has practically no life, no memories, no anything. its just removed.
these animals are not instantly killed in the womb were they dont feel much of anything. these animals for the most part are brutally tortured for years.
shit in america, male genital mutilation is still popular and its a fucked up procedure with no health benefits that leads to subconscious emotional scarring along with huge infection risks. babies have died from that.
if all humans die the planet would thrive but if only a single insect species was to vanish the whole planet would be in dissary. people need to learn to be more compassionate to all living beings
You are one messed up person.
Stop! Stop spreading false information about the NY law! It is obvious that you are just regurgitating far right fear mongering. Please take the time to look up the law and read it carefully. One thing the law does that the conservatives don’t ever mention, it actually will save more fetuses from being aborted because of a misdiagnosed condition. Many developmental problems do show up in the second trimester, but a correct diagnosis has a low % of being correct. So a mother given the choice of aborting at that time of risk going full term. If she goes full term, and the diagnosis is correct, it’s 100% that the fetus will be still born. But if the time for abortion is allowed up until delivery, those fetuses that were aborted in the second trimester that were misdiagnosed, would now be delivered! But if the diagnosis is correct, then the mother can still have the abortion in the third trimester and not have to carry a dead fetus for those remaining weeks. Which is very risky for the woman’s health.
Also, there are no doctors or delivery staff that would kill a viable fetus! Not before delivery or after delivery. Once that fetus is delivered it is a “person” and the doctor and staff are then responsible for two patients. So please please stop with this bad information. Not only is it wrong, but ultimately, any decision about abortion is for the mother and her health care providers. This includes multiple doctor, mental health care workers, etc.
They aren’t full term. 24 weeks. Can people read?
This makes me sick to my stomach and will never eat any of it.It is totally barbaric cruel and heart wrenching. I can not bare it,it needs to be stopped and the so called humans who do it be given the same treatment,see how their mothers like it.
Terrible for these animals.
Do they do all this for the sake of producing food n meat for us? I already donate to pro life groups to help stop the killing of innocent human babies. When will that stop? I always hope that we put pre born babies first and animal life second.
After viewing the images I am,horrified that this barbaric treatment of Gods creatures exist and those who get paid to invoke this brutal treatment is more disturbing.
Stop doing Injustice and Cruelty to innocent animals
Be vegan. Stop eating animals even chickens and pig.
OMG This is so cruel. I did not know the full extent of this.
Than kyou for sharing. On my way to being a vegetariab.
This is beyond gut wrenching. These people are monsters for only monsters could inflict that much pain and suffering onto beautiful, loving creatures. They need to be behind bars. The company leaders and CEO’s who are dictating these cruel practices also need to be behind bars. We should all boycott dairy, wool, meat and any other animal product. Please help stop this. I’m sharing this on my FB page.
I am working on creating a sanctuary in Maine. I would love you to take some pictures of what animals lives could be like if people cate for them
Thank you Emily
Laws need to be changed so atrocities like this are deemed criminal. We should all contact our representatives and make them aware of the horror.
This is barbaric and horrific!!! Make it stop!!!
Horrific!
I cant look at most of this it’s just awful and so cruel I hate these people so much they are complete bas–tards I hope they rot in hell
How am I going to feed America? Plants have feeling too.
Why the fuck do we let this happen
Why cant we be more humane!
Why, just because it’s cheaper?
Is that what these animals lives and hearts are worth to us?
Just so you can pay less for a sausage?
If animals are going to die at all for your burgers.. at least appreciate them enough to let them live a little and die without pain. Even if it costs more to do it. Let them have their mothers. Let them see sunlight and snuggle down comfortably to rest.
And If you cant afford it, and you want the luxury or eating meat at a cheaper price, Then you shouldn’t eat meat at all!
You don’t need meat in your diet!
If you wouldn’t do it yourself, then why support it, don’t ignore it, that’s selfish and just as cruel.
Its wrong
I can’t believe would do something like that to and innocent animal. they need the samething done to them and more
Thanking you very much for making an effort to OPENING EYES of those like me who eat the meat so disgustingly made from other animals.
I’m so I am unable to give anything today. U see I’m on disability. This treatment has to stop. This is not right. What’s wrong with people treating animals like this. We could do this more humane. Please stop this and spread the word about this terrible treatment.
No, no, please stop IT!
SOCIETY IS FUCKING RETARDED… I MEAN WHY CAN’T THEY FUCKING TAKE THEIR LIVES IN A SOLID WAY… LIKE USING ANESTHESIA… THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. *FEELING SAD :(*
How on earth could someone think using anesthesia could right the wrong of unnecessarily taking someone else’s life now that a few minutes of palate pleasure never outweighs someone’s life and given that nobody in a modern society needs animal products? It is never about HOW we use or kill them that is the essential wrongdoing, it is the fact THAT we use animals that are here with us and no more for us to use as a mere thing than black people are here to be used by white people, or women are here to be used by men. The basic birthrights of animals are not to become property nor to be used as a thing, a mere instrument, a resource, a sport, to test on, or any other purpose that suits us but denies their right to exist for themselves…
WHY TORTURE ANIMALS OR ANY BREATHING THING!! SICK PEOPLE
By all means eat meat if you want to but do we need to treat them so disgustingly. Do we need to cause so much cruelty and suffering. NO WE DON’T
I agree completely!! Yes, I’ve eaten meat but can we please eliminate the cruelty. My God.
There is no such thing as humane slaughter. Slaughter men are paid by numbers so it’s a factory assembly line. You are kidding yourself if you believe that animals have a peaceful death. While in the killing line they can smell death and hear the screams of those being killed before them. A slaughter house is an animal concentration camp with even more innocent victims.
We are all animals, humans unfortunately have tried to leave nature, compassion and the circle of life. There is no, I repeat no unnecessary killing in any other part of nature. We humans have to change .
Thank you for you work trying to bring our race back to nature, nurture and cruelty free.
We all need to work towards that.
We can all do our part.
the word Man”KIND” is an OXYMORON.
We are not going to hell– we ARE in hell already.
Don’t these brutal morons realize that only the Humans were kicked out of Paradise? The animals should NEVER be treated this way — THEY are our only link to sanity and goodness!!!
We ARE hell…
Bluddy discusting an cruel…this shud.nt happen samthin shud be done it’s so upsetting poor animals
Why don’t they take the male chicks and send them to the other place and do the same with the female chicks instead of killing them? That’s a waste for one this g and if money is the bottom line they are losing a lot every time they kill them
This makes me crazy n I want to casterate the humans..Now it’s legal to kill a baby at eight or nine months being delivered sick world we live in
No it is not.The only time late term can be done is if the mother is going to die (which won’t happen if mothers can access free accessible prenatal health care) or like if the foetus has a medical problem where it will die in the womb. If it does Mum may get sepsis & die. Facts please not panic.
Couldn’t finish reading this article. Far too upsetting. I can’t believe human beings can be so cruel. How can we make this stop!
I agree with you. Us humans are the most inhumane beasts on the planet. This is outrageous.
Can you please describe what I am seeing in the photo of the two upright lambs at the top of this post? While a picture is worth a thousand words and it is horrifying, a simple explanation would be helpful here. Thank you.
This device is used to “process” the lambs (to castrate them or put tags in their ears, for example).
With no anesthetic
Unbelievable, indefensible, BLATANT CRUELTY. I gave up meat and dairy Feb. 2011 and it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done. My proudest accomplishment. There is NO reason to do this. I’m a Christian, The Lord said “I give you all the plants and seeds to eat as your food.” Eating meat is part of ORIGINAL SIN! We see daily the Devil is alive and well in these times.
Good for you — not only that but as far as the Bible is concerned– only the HUMANS were kicked out of Paradise — be kind to animals for we ARE “entertaining angels unawares”
PS– “Anima” is the Latin word for “Soul”. Man”UNKIND” has alot of sins to atone for………….
Choising to not eat meat although honorable will not change the animal rights laws for food service cruelty. Perhaps petitions, documentaries and actual letters to the proper legislative parties will make a difference. It seems farmers only want animals who are producing some income for them and not looking at their business with social responsibility to create a safe ecosystem for these innocent animals. Today’s society doesn’t seem to value human life either so this battle will be an uphill one. I live in NY and they just passed the full term abortion law. The world has become disenchanted with no morals, no empathy and no compassion for eachother or life. I love animals and wish the food industry would be fined and some places closed down for what they do. Keep me posted on the progress.
Keri, you’re so right. I wish people would stop believing in such a cruel system. We all have power to create a peaceful planet.
Sadly these industries are usually overseen by like-minded callous entities. Never give up – than kyou for living your life in the best way possible for all living beings.
I don’t eat meat and nor do my children and we all feel much healthier for it. My ideal world would be to stop the barbaric treatment and slaughter of animals, I am sure no human being would want to go through what animals endure, they have feelings too
Please can we grow meat in a Laboratory? No brain, no pain. I believe it is deeply ingrained in our evolution to eat meat, so lab grown meat is the best solution.
Why not plenty of vegetables and grains… these are most easy to grow with any cruelty..
Jeremy Flanagan–the sooner the better on lab grown meat
Which countries are doing these despicable atrocities?. If you have photographic and video evidence, what are you doing with it? Asking people to stop eating meat is understandable but would take forever to work. Surely their are laws which are being broken, are these places being closed down?
Animal cruelty laws dont apply to animals raised for food. Standard industry practices i
Australia and many countries,all legal . Watch Dominion.com.au for footage.
Every country!
Where in the world could this possibly happen I couldn’t watch it the absolute despicable cruelty to any animal makes me sick to the stomach, if they do this to an animal in captive what would they do to a human if they were pressured.
I do hope these despicable people never make their way to Australia we love all our animals please god help them
Animal cruelty laws dont apply to animals raised for food. Standard industry practices i
Australia and many countries,all legal . Watch Dominion.com.au for footage.
And Australia kills its kangaroos and koalas to make way for clearcutting and building houses or adding to farmland. Australia also does not believe in TNR and thus kills its feral cats in a never-ending bloodbath, I’ve been involved in TNR in the US for decades and it really DOES make a difference– and as far as killing birds– the cat that kills the most birds is the CATerpillar Bulldozer that knocks down whole forests in a matter of days….. and another deadly blow to birds and other beings is the application of chemical weed killers and lawn treatments — please folks, use natural practices and save this world!! Weeds are not that unattractive– especially dandelions, which are the First Spring Food For BEES.
If the Australians love animals why is the live export allowed to continue,? Thousands of sheep packed on ships to the Middle East where they face the barbaric slaughter Muslim style.
Delicious.
Ah the sensation.
I must go eat a juicy steak right away, excuse me.
Despicable
Ah the cruelty
You must go and seek a heart of your own right away
You are not exused
PRICK!
Hedonist– people who talk like that are usually very insecure and need attention — what can WE help you with, Hmmm????
Awful to read. I am sharing this. A question: what is being done to the lambs in the first photo?
This device is used to “process” the lambs (to castrate them, for example).
I‘ve stopped eating meat almost 10 years ago and feel fantastic. However, the root of the problem isn’t eating meat or drinking milk but human ignorance, the definition of animals as “things” and our allover arrogance towards the world’s other creatures. To this we have to add the fact that we’re more numerous every day with a life style that requires more and more abundance of food and other natural resources. Also plants are being treated in a very bad way and also plants are living beings. In the current state of evolution, we’re a cancer to the planet. The only chance we have is to find ways to change our needs and control the birth rates in certain countries as well as educate everybody in the world about what aliving being actually is and changing the definiton of animals (and plants) as “things”. Well, ask your supermarket owners, mega corporations and politicians if they have an interest in doing this! This is the actual problem.
All of you kind and caring people are making a change One Person At A Time. You ARE making a difference. Sadly, corporate heads and farmers and others involved in this seem to have no souls. Don’t ever let that stop you. Even if you don’t want to approach them, you have other avenues of communication. The Animal Rights Conference in the US (in VA in 2019, in LA in 2020) is a 3 1/2 day immersion in learning sharing and discussing these topics — I highly recommend it.
So shocking all my senses are screaming. I dont eat meat I stopped 8 years ago for my health and never started again. Only more recently have I realised I dont actually want to eat an animal it is unecessary. We are fortunate enough to have a woodland garden and ponds so I share my space with birds, animals and trees that choose to be here; we are a happy community. Keeping a connection on a personal level with nature is real.
I stop eating meat 5 years ago.. Never regretted at all.
Should have done it 25 years ago. Better late than never.
I urge all sane human beings with emotional kindness to try and change our diets.
It not only good for our bodies, its good for our souls knowing we are no longer murderers and its good for the animals too.
Thanks for showing this horrible really…so WHAT KINDERWORLD CAN PROPOSE FOR THIS TO STOP…WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION GLOBALLY!!!!!!!
That’s enough for me , it’s not worth it . I’M GOING VEGAN FOR MY LIFE TIME !
If you eat store meat you are the problem.
5 years ago a friend at work place show me a video how the kill the chickens since that day I started watching videos slaughter house and the next day I decided to be Vegetarian. Now I’m VEGAN and my life change a lot I used to be 165 pound and I had many healthy problems and being Vegan loss weigh and I’m animals lover and I have more happy life
I am retired, so I got the idea of calling as many companies such as Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hormel, etc. and leaving their customer service a few comments so the owners know we are watching how their Neanderthal workers torture innocents. They are All too dumb and stupid to realize that these innocents CANNOT SPEAK OUT AND TELL US OF THEIR EXTREME PAIN, SUFFERING AND FEAR. Todos son hijos de su muy rechingada madre!!
Animals if for whatever must be used for meat shouldn’t be allowed before a certain age, and should be allowed as nature intended to be with their mothers brothers and sisters in a natural environment. It’s good sense as this produces better animals which in turn better produce . We don’t eat as much as we produce and humans cannot use animal hormones in a manner that is good for the body, it’s a myth to say milk is good for you, it’s full of hormones to build a calf up , hence we have a lot off obesity in this day and age and a lot of hormones related illnesses . No animal should be made to suffer ever. We have ways of making thing easier than brute force trauma to end a life . We live in a time of greed and with no company that thinks more than profit it’s a horrific time for all farm animals . It angers me beyond belief.
Milk is healthy for us. People have been drinking milk for thousands of years.
It’s kind of bizarre that everyone that’s complaining about the suffering of these animals but they still wear leather shoes and leather belts and leather purses,,
Although scripture says it’s OK to eat animals and certain kinds ?
I do not believe in cruelty for these creatures of God in any way form or fashion,,, these
Humans are disgusting to Me!!!!
Lord,I pray this os stopped and I know this is not how you want us to treat animals please get this stopped
Lord,I pray this os stopped and I know this is not how you want us to treat animals please get this stopped
I’m not surprised America has a problem with serial killers if this is how you care for your food and sentient beings. I’m already telling my Facebook friends not to buy American goods because this is how you live. You are disgusting. I’ve spent a lot of holidays and money in the USA. Fortunately that ended and will not occur again whine you fail to control your farmers. I a so glad I do not live there.
Back off FurFix– YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR — how about a peaceful dialogue instead of roaring uncontrollably with your fangs exposed???? BTW- Serial killers exist everywhere, and most American Goods are made in China. LOL……. SO—You’re not coming back to the US? Can’t tell you how much we will MISS you!! Where are you BTW– in Paradise? Nothing bad happens where you are, right??? You need to watch your temper or YOU may become one of those incarcerated beings you loathe so much
Again, eating meat isn’t the problem, it’s about the butchers who are allowed to handle and prepare our meet for us that is the real problem!! This is horrific and catastrophic and I am outraged that we live in a society that allows this to happen to innocent animals!!! It’s all about money and greed! Instead of letting animal roam freely, bread and birth freely they don’t want to invest any dollars on pain meds or anesthesia so they just brutally torture these living breathing animals to save pennies and slotter them without hesitation or remorse. It’s sickening and it needs to be STOPPED!!
The price of meat is very! high.
People who work in the slaughterhouses are the most evil disgusting sub-humans on this earth.
The seem to get pleasure out of torturing innocent animals
They make my skin crawl.
The USDA must finally open their eyes and stop this barbaric cruelty towards farm animals.
The USDA is just a pawn
I know y those jerks do that and people do that because their mother is a prostitute and they regret that.
If I ever meet a person that works in a slaughterhouse, I would tell my boys to do something tragic to them

Can someone tell me what’s going on with that picture of the lambs?
I assume this is probably a way of holding them up for ease of castration.
This is a device to “process” lambs.
It is used to castrate them, for example.
Can’t believe that’s just about castration, i’m not convinced, it’s something else… The cut in the belly, the immobilizetion, the bizarre position. Why not do the patern procedure, by to anesthetize the animal… This is something else, more cruel…
It is castration. No anesthesia, no compassion
DES MOTS ONT ETE CHANGÉS PAR D’AUTRES OU SUPPRIMÉS DANS MON PRECEDENT COMMENTAIRES CE QUI REND BIZARRE CERTAINES PHRASES, MAIS LE FOND EST COMPRÉHENSIBLE. JE PARLAIS D’UN COCHON TORTURÉ ET QU’IL FAUDRAIT DES CAMÉRAS DANS LES ABATTOIRS ET FERMES DU MONDE ENTIER.
A vomir. A quand une loi mondiale et caméras dans TOUS les abattoirs et fermes du monde entier ? J’ai vu une vidéo parmi hélas beaucoup trop d’autres, où une ordure torturait un cochon qui hurlait comme jamais… du sang partout… une patte sectionnée au 3/4 exprès et le cochon arrivant sous la peur, la douleur et l’adrenaline à courir le plus loin possible de son tortionnaire qui le suit, qui lui ouvrira avec délice le ventre et autres cruautés… Les collegues laissant faire… D’autres cisaillent les tendons des pattes des vaches avec un couteau + perceuse dans la tête. DES FERMIERS QUI TRAÎNENT PAR LE COU AVEC UNE CORDE VACHES ET CHEVAUX AVEC LEUR TRACTEUR EN RIANT !!! ON EST OÙ LA ? DANS UN MONDE DE FOUS OU DES PSYCHOPATHES SE DEFOULENT EN TOUTE IMPUNITÉ SUR DE PAUVRES ANIMAUX. .. IL EST TEMPS QUE TOUT CELA S’ARRÊTE DÉFINITIVEMENT. VRAIMENT.
So wrong
Im so ashamed to be a part of it
I feel like im also participating in this horrible act by eating meat and all
How can we help?
God help them plz
It would have been good if everyone in this world was vegan
We need to pass legislation now that makes this treatment punishable with a monetary fine for the company and prison time for the offender. This is sick and extremely cruel behavior and needs to be outed. We enjoy eating meat occasionally so there needs to be a better solution than turning vegan. Prison time with mandatory animal cruelty classes might make them think twice about hurting any living thing again. Especially innocent animals that are raised for food.
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Mahatma Gandhi
What have we become?
Aborrent
Karma.
And it gets even worse.
Eating meat isn’t the problem, it’s because we rely on others to get our meat for us that this is happening. Mass production is just wrong.
This is ALL DISGUSTING AND SHOULD NEVER TAKE PLACE. HOW DO LOOSERS TAKE PART IN THIS BEHAVIOR? THEY SHOULD BE SHOT BUT MADE TO SUFFER!
THese People should be shamed,do the same to them,and l would do it to them,half the chance
Don’t know what to say about this cruel world.
I AM A VEGAN
This makes me furious beyond I can’t believe how people can even do this to a animal make me sick
Really crying right now. I cannot believe that this is real. I’m sorry for being a meat eater before. I hope by going plant based, I’m able to contribute in lessening this kind of cruelty.
You are. Thank you.
Barbaric and obscene beyond all comprehension.. how is sane human being able to do any of those things?
This is just not right.I wish people could understand animals have a life and family too.Using them for selfish purposes like eating and sacrificing or hunting is wrong.It really breaks my heart knowing how cruel humanity is.
It’s really heart ripping nd I am ashamed to be part of this disgusting human race.
There are many compassionate human also. If you are not on evil side you are ok.
We still need to try and stop those with zero compassion.
Aditi — be proud of who you are and keep trying to make this world a better place. Love works alot better than anger or hatred.
We need to pass legislation that makes this treatment punishable with a monetary fine for the company and prison time for the offender. This is sick behavior and needs to be outed … That companies and co-workers turn their heads in denial is insane.
How can we make a difference? Who do you start with? Writing letters, protesting, demanding from your local members of parliament for new legislation punishing offenders and really not just issuing but enforcing the new laws! No one seems to care or want to listen!
Go vegan for starters.
I have contacted my MP and other people on ‘committees’ and get the usual mealy mouthed responses, we are mindful of the issue, we are considering, where is the evidence, the operators know the laws in our country. There is far too much talking and ignoring how the majority of people feel about this. I also believe in the desire to produce the cheapest meat, government appears to be hand in glove with the animal food producers. I don’t ever remember seeing animal welfare being on a political party manifesto, I wonder why?! The producers would be outraged! Petitions seem to be ignored, I think it needs something more radical with public demonstrations against this and the weak laws relating to blood sports, such as hunting with dogs, too many loop holes, weak policing and many of the hunters are members of the judiciary.
Minimum 30year prison term
You say the coworkers are to blame also. How is that..they are doing a job…not something they might want to do. But it’s a job that puts a roof over the heads of their family and feeds them. I’m sure most people that work for these places feel horrible but they dont have a choose. They cant find other jobs. I’m sure you would do any job possible to care for your family..no matter what it is. It breaks my heart what happens to these animals…..but the is how farmers etc earn a living unfortunately the animals are the ones that suffer.
Oh Linda– your compassion is brutal
It is very sad how cruel people can be. All of them heartless people wo are able to do this to innocent animals.
Ich kann dieses Leid und Elend an unschuldigen tierischen Lebewesen nicht mehr ertragen.
Es ist unfassbar erschütternd was da passiert.
Was können wir bloß tun.
Es wird sich nichts ändern.
Sie nicht mehr essen
Tut mir leid aber ich denke nicht das “Sie nicht mehr essen” die grundsätzlich richtige Lösung ist. Versteht mich nicht falsch, DAS… bzw. alles an Bildern/Videos das kinderworld.org hier zeigt, zeigt wie hochgradig giftig und erstickend, der Mensch für diese Erde ist. “Sie nicht mehr essen”, das ist für mich etwa das gleiche wie “lasst keine Asylanten mehr rein” oder “lasst Sie alle rein, die brauchen hilfe”. Was ich damit sagen möchte? Keiner sieht (möchte sehen) oder versucht es zumindest, einen MITTELWEG zu finden. Nein ich rede hier nicht vom “Artgerechten töten” wie es viele nennen würden. Ich rede von einheitlichen Preisen, massive Preiserhöhungen, regelmäßige Kontrollen mit harten Strafen und genormten Richtlinien/Vorschriften (EU ?). Vorschriften die Jahresproduktionslimits setzen, Altersnachweise bei Kontrollen usw. Was das bringen würde? Fleisch, Tierische Produkte, Produkte in denen (ohne unser Wissen “Tier” mit drin ist), sind für die meisten längst selbstverständlich und für die meisten unabdingbar. Der Mensch ist ein “Fleischfresser” das ist nun einmal so. Aber muss es jeden Tag das Salamibrot seit? Jeden Tag beide Kinder morgens 2 Schüsseln Müsli mit Milch? Am WE jedes mal Eier mit Speck oder Weißwürstchen? Wie viele schreien, aber schaffen es nicht einmal ein WENIG zurück zu stecken, sich Gedanken zu machen WAS kaufe ich. Mir ist klar das eine Milchkuh… eine Milchkuh ist und auch bleiben wird. Aber es macht für mich und sicher auch für das Tier, einen Unterschied ob es ohne Schmerz, Angst, Verletzungen, o.ä. zur Schlachterei gebracht wird, oder ob z.B. der Kuh die Hinterläufe weggezerrt werden und sie mit einem Bulli über einen gepflasterten Hof zur Schlachtbank geschleppt wird. Ferkel denen man mit einem stumpfen Gegenstand den Schädel eindrischt ohne zu wissen ob das Tier WIRKLICH tot ist. Noch besser, an den Hinterläufen packen und auf den Boden klatschen. DAS ist der Unterschied. Es geht nicht darum alle Tiere zu retten. Dafür ist es bereits seit Jahrtausenden zu spät. Es geht darum das selbst ein Tier in Gefangenschaft (auch wenn es ein Tier ist), ein wenig Würde und ein so gut als möglich schmerzloses Leben verdient hat. Danke
I agree totally with everything you‘ve written. Well said.
Time to fast for the poor animals we consider food ….
If there were no demand for their flesh, this would all stop. Become vegetarian or vegan!!!
The only way to stop the killing is if people are vegan. Vegetarians still eat eggs and dairy.
Sarah– if you agree than why did you respond in English??????????????????
Them???? What about yourself?
Name calling? Why? That’s brutal too you know. Being kind does not just apply to being kind towards animals
