Not All Farms Are Cruel.
I do not for one second believe that the PETA videos so commonly advertised are depicting common practices on most farms. Of COURSE they pick the worst ones to show in their videos---that's the point! Does this mean that animals can be humanely farmed? No.
Let's think about what's going on in each step of the livestock farming industry. After each step ask yourself, "What if this was me or someone I care about?"
Meat - The obvious one. What is humane killing? Perhaps that it means that you are killing your victim while causing them as little pain as possible, but is this ethical? Falsely assuming there is no pain involved, when is killing an innocent sentient living being ever justifiable?
Dairy -
Byproducts of the Dairy Industry - These things could not be possible without the dairy industry.
Pointless Infant Slaughter -
Veal (male calves) -
Female Calves -
Honey -
Eggs, and Captivity In General -
