Plants don't squak, squeal, or moan when you kill them....

At the slaughterhouses, terrified "food animals" are kicked, beaten with canes, and shocked with electric prods to herd them to the kill box. Standard slaughter practices, results in mass abuse, horrific pain and suffering for millions of animals. Thousands of "food animals" are dismembered or dropped into a scalding tank while they are still conscious. Many of the "food animals" are hung upside-down, their throats are slit, and then they are skinned... sometimes while they are still squealing and/or moaning.

Many of the smaller "food animals" live in filthy warehouses,confined in small cages or crates, preventing them from turning around or even stretching their limbs. The larger "food animals" spend the last several months of their lives in overcrowded holding pens loaded with feces and urine.

"Food animals" not only experience immense pain and suffering when they are mutilated, mistreated, tortured, injured, or ill; new research suggests they also become agonizing stressed and frustrated when forced to live under these dreadful conditions before they are slaughtered.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. -- Genesis 1:29
