~Meet Your Meat~










Animal Cruelty...

1. Chickens
-slammed into small crates and trucked to the slaughterhouse.
-their legs are snapped into shackles, their throats are cut, and they are immersed in scalding hot water to remove their feathers.
2. Cows
-transported hundreds of miles in all weather extremes to the slaughterhouse.
-those who survive are shot in the head with a bolt gun, hung up by their legs,and taken onto the killing floor, where their throats are cut and they are skinned.
3. Fish
-many suffer from parasitic infections, diseases, and debilitating injuries.
-conditions on some farms are so horrendous that 40 percent of the fish may die before farmers can kill and package them for food.
4. Turkeys
-beaks and toes are burned off with a hot blade.
-suffer heart failure or debilitating leg pain, often becoming crippled under the weight of their genetically manipulated and drugged bodies.
-when the time comes for slaughter, they are thrown into transport trucks, and when they arrive at the slaughterhouse, their throats are cut and their feathers burned off—often while they are still fully conscious.
5. Pigs
-they are taken away from their mothers when they are less than 1 month old; their tails are cut off, some of their teeth are cut off, the males have their testicles ripped out of their scrotums (castration), all without any pain relief.
-many die of heat exhaustion in the summer and arrive frozen to the inside of the truck in the winter.


Eventually, I finished the video. The human are very cruel. I cannot believe that they are using these ways to treat the animals. After watching it, hopefully everyone could cut down their meat consumption.
