Large-scale Livestock Farming - Number of
Slaughtered Animals Worldwide
The large-scale livestock farming is an abomination.
It is a cruel, inhumane practice which attempts to reduce
the operating costs at the expense of fair animal treatment.
As thanks for the profits that farms are making off of their
lives, the animals get to live very unnaturally.
They rarely see sunlight, their sleeping conditions are poor
due to overcrowding. They are malnourished, being fed
growth hormones to speed up growth of meat mass, and
antibiotics to prevent premature death due to a weakened
immune system. They lack any meaningful activity, being
restricted in tight pens where they cannot roam. Their
muscles and bones atrophy due to lack of use. Near the
time of slaughter,
some animals can not even move, or have broken leg
bones. There is the preconception that pigs are dirty
animals who enjoy filth. This is an image resulting from
how they are treated in captivity. Wild boars are quite clean
animals.
You Are What You Eat
In the USA up to ten animals are squeezed tightly one on
top of the other in metal cages, where those on the bottom
receive the feces from those above, which drives them
crazy if they survive the ordeal. The consequences of this
treatment are dire. The flesh of these tortured, doped and
undernourished and miserable animals - after they are
butchered - is processed and sold to the masses in food
stores around the world. It is then bought by people who
then consume it in large quantities on a daily basis. The
saying "you are what you eat" is based on observed
effects, and is quite frightening under these
circumstances.
Animals are by definition instinct based. Their whole
bodies react in consequence to their surroundings and to
what they experience.
Fear, pain, hunger, and doping all create an unnatural
cocktail of hormones, toxins, and antibiotics. These are
built up over their lives and remain trapped in the flesh and
blood of the animal as it is butchered. The processing that
occurs after adds more preserving chemicals to the
mixture. Some of these are removed during cooking, but
many remain to flood the consumer's body.
These cause instability in many human systems. Hormonal
imbalance, cancer, weakened immune system, antibiotic
ineffectiveness and other devastating chronic
consequences to the human body are attributed to to
consumption of flesh of large-scale livestock farming
provenance. This is done at a massive scale.
Worldwide 85 billion fish and other sea life are slaughtered
on a yearly basis which is the equivalent to 2695 per
second.
Similarly, for chicken: 58 billion per year or 1839 per
second.
For swine: 1.4 billion slaughtered per year or 44.4 per
second. For sheep: 517 million slaughtered per year or
16.4 per second. For cows: 300 million slaughtered per
year or 9.6 per second. These numbers do not account for
deaths due to other man-made causes such as pollution
with pesticides and plastic particles.
Other animals which are raised in large-scale farms are
ducks, geese and turkeys, and they are also grossly
mistreated. Take for instance ducks and geese, but first, a
question.
Would you eat an animal or part of an animal knowing that
it had a disease? Many eat them, knowingly or not. Foie
gras is a duck or goose liver which is diseased.
The disease causes it to abnormally grow up to ten times
its normal size. This is done by force-feeding the animals
directly in the esophagus.
This process is very painful and can lead to stress and
injuries, as well as death.
ANIMAL CRUELTY IN FACTORY FARMING WORLDWIDE
The suffering of animals in factory farming is a global problem that needs to be addressed.
Factory farming, also known as industrial animal agriculture, is a cruel and unethical
practice that keeps animals in overcrowded, unsanitary and inhumane conditions.
The worst countries in terms of animal cruelty in factory farming are the United States,
Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Australia, China, India, Mexico and
Argentina. In these countries, animals are often subjected to horrific abuses such as
overcrowding, lack of veterinary care, forced growth hormones, use of antibiotics,
mutilation, and confinement in cages and crates so small that the animals cannot move.
Animals in factory farms also suffer from extreme stress, depression, and anxiety due to
their confined and inhumane conditions. Despite laws that protect animals from cruelty,
factory farms continue to mistreat and neglect their animals.
It is our duty to take a stand for animals and speak up for their rights. We must demand that
factory farms are held accountable for their actions and ensure that animal welfare is of the
utmost importance. We must also take steps to reduce our consumption of animal products
and support ethical and sustainable farming practices.
CRUEL TORTURE OF DUCKS IN FRANCE
Animal cruelty is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. One of the most disturbing
practices is "gavage" or "force-feeding" of geese and ducks to produce foie gras. This
practice is especially prevalent in France, where geese and ducks are kept in small pens for
up to two months and force-fed large amounts of grain, multiple times a day. This process
causes the birds to become sick, deformed, and suffer from extreme discomfort and
distress.
This is an unacceptable practice and needs to be stopped. We urge people to boycott
countries that participate in gavage and any other form of animal cruelty. By refusing to buy
their products, we can help put an end to this cruel act and can help the animals who are
suffering. Let us spread awareness of this issue and take action to ensure that animals are
not subjected to such terrible mistreatment.
