Poultry.org FarmAnimalShelters.org FreeFarmAnimals.org BanCruelFarms.org Help outlaw the cruel confinement of pigs on factory farms in Florida. We add to their nightmare much more than this. For millions of animals, the terminal trauma of the modern farm extends to the modern laboratory.
Farm animals receive little if any protection under the law.
And food or fiber is exactly what cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, and horses have been reduced to. They want a cow to produce a few more gallons of milk per year, a chicken to produce a dozen more eggs per year, and a sow to produce a few more piglets per year. They want them to do it all faster and on less feed. Fistulas, also used in goats and pigs, are part of an effort to find better ways to make farm animals more efficient eating machines. Animals are forced to consume pesticides, feed additives and other agricultural materials to determine their effect on growth or to find solutions to the problem of residues in meat, milk, and eggs.
