Top 5 Dirty Secrets of Factory Farming »
- Repeat violators of laws protecting public health and animal welfare are allowed to continue producing harmful animal products.
- Waste discharges from animal farming are accountable for an ecological “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico, much larger than the BP oil spill.
- For years, meat purchased by the U.S. government for school lunches was so low-grade that even McDonalds would not use it.
- Chicken and turkey feed contains chicken manure and the ground up carcasses of cats and dogs killed at local pounds.
- Every single minute, over 100,000 farmed animals are killed globally — a number equivalent to entire human population of Berkeley, California. Approximately 99 percent of these animals are babies under 6 months of age.
This is not normal, sane, or acceptable. Do not support this industry. Go vegan, encourage others to go vegan, and wash your hands of this abhorrent human practice.
Yes, it’s about compassion, ethics, and animals. But it’s also about our health. It’s about our planet. And it’s about protecting our children (whether you like them or not).
