By sharing these facts with you, or you sharing these facts with someone else, eyes will be opened to the vile ways of factory farming…
Factory farming is the leading cause of:
- Deforestation
- Ocean Dead Zones
- Species Extinction
- Water Depletion
- Global Warming
260,000,000 acres of natural forests have been destroyed for factory farming purposes. Between watering the plants to feed the animals, giving the animals water, etc, it takes an average 2,400 gallons of to produce 1 lb. of meat.
Not eating a pound of meat saves more water than not showering for six months. HALF of the water in the U.S. is used for agricultural farming.
80% of ammonia emissions in the U.S come from animal waste. Ammonia can ruin aquatic ecosystems, ruin soil quality, ruin crops and put human health at risk. So basically, when the bully from middle school told you to eat s***, you did exactly what they told you to do. Jokes 😉 But still, disgusting.
If we continue our ways, in just 100 short years, there will be no more forests in the United States.
Annually, well over 56,000,000,000 (yes, you read that right, 56 BILLION) animals are killed. Humans would be extinct faster than you could say “save the animals” if we killed each other at this rate!!!!!
ALL WITHOUT ANESTHETICS – these cruel acts are performed on farm animals
- Debeaking of birds
- Extraction of piglet teeth
- Docking of piglet tails
- Neutering of male piglets
- Removal by burning of cow’s horns
AS A MATTER OF FACT – HIGH SCHOOL FFA STUDENTS NEUTER THEIR FARM ANIMALS WITH NO ANESTHETICS! We are teaching impressionable kids that this is okay! It is sociopathic.
ABUSE FROM FARMERS SEEN BY RESEARCHERS
- Stabbing
- Beating
- Kicking
- Punching
- Lifting animals with pitchforks
- Hurling them into the air
- Countless other abuses…
The only farmer to ever be tried for his abuses was Shawn Lyons. The only reason he was caught is because a researcher set up cameras without him knowing so he would be able to show proof in court.
Shawn Lyons. He was caught –
- Preforming acts of beastiality
- Encouraged colleagues to abuse
- Slammed baby piglets on the ground, killing them
- Pulling on pigs ears so hard they would rip
Who’s to say there aren’t countless other farmers doing the same exact thing behind walls?
If you take a look at human canines and the canine teeth of a lion, one can easily come to a conclusions that there is a size difference, a power difference and a significant difference in what they can tear through. Humans were not designed to eat meat. We can find fully sufficient protein in foods that are not steak, not dairy, not eggs. Broccoli has more protein per serving size than a 6 oz. steak.
PEOPLE CANNOT HIDE FROM FACTS. SPREAD THE WORD.
I am sorry about the hiatus. I am back, free from writer’s block! We will talk soon.
