Every second, more than 250 animals are slaughtered for food, many in cruel and inhumane ways. For example, while animals are supposed to be fully unconscious before slaughtering, many are still fully awake and struggle through the pain of being dismembered and skinned alive to keep the mass food production going.
Society seems to be sheltered from the true horror that occurs on factory farms and slaughterhouses.
Many of the animals suffer a fate worse than death before they are sent to the slaughterhouse. Animals raised for food on such farms suffer from day to day with unhealthy and immoral conditions. As factory farms become bigger in our country, I believe it only fair that the public should be educated on the harsh conditions animals endure just to become someone's dinner. Many animals such as pigs, cows and chickens are confined to small cages or stalls that are so overcrowded they can barely move. Most become disfigured, crippled or mentally unstable.
