FARMED ANIMALS

It is not just about animal welfare

The suffering and cruelty inflicted upon farmed animals is a major cause for concern and a strong motivation for many vegans. Many people are becoming increasingly aware of the animal welfare concerns surrounding food production, particularly in intensive farming systems. However, the welfare of farmed animals during their lifetimes is not the only reason why vegans choose not to consume or use animal products.

There is strong evidence from behavioural studies that farmed animals such as pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, cows, sheep and fish are sentient beings with individual needs and preferences. The mass production and killing of these animals does not recognise this. Anyone who has spent time with a companion animal knows that they have complex emotions and yet farmed animals are no different in this respect from dogs and cats.

Killing is an inherent and unavoidable part of farming animals for food.Of course animals are killed for meat, but many people are unaware that this is equally true of egg and milk production. Millions of male chicks and calves are killed each year as 'by-products' of the egg and milk industries, considered worthless since they cannot produce milk or eggs. The dairy cows and egg-laying hens themselves are killed at a fraction of their natural lifespan, when they become too worn out to produce enough milk or eggs to be profitable.

Simply buying -higher-welfare- animal products cannot change these facts. If consumers want to ensure that the food they buy is -cruelty-free-, by far the best way to achieve this is to buy vegan food.

It is entirely possible and increasingly easy to have nutritious and tasty food and practical and stylish clothing without exploiting other animals, especially in the UK and similar countries.

Therefore the question is not, Why should not we use and kill animals?, but, Why would we.

THERE IS A REASON YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW MUCH

ABOUT THE ANIMALS THAT SOME PEOPLE EAT...

They do not want you to know... Factory farmers and the slaughter houses do not want you to know that most eggs, milk, chicken, beef, fish and pork products come from factory farms. They realise that the products they produce would not sell if shoppers were told and saw exactly where they came from. A free range label or freedom foods sticker for eg, might make others feel better about what they eat, but there is no right way or -humane- way to kill someone who wants to live.


Knowledge is the single greatest threat to the meat and dairy industry.

There are no magical slaughterhouses where animals are fed their favorite meal, make a last phone call to a loved one and voluntarily hold their breath until they die. The act of slaughter is violent, vicious, bloody and hellish. The animals do not sacrifice themselves for your pleasure, tradition or greed. The are dragged in kicking and screaming until their last breath. Do not fool yourself into thinking that you can eat meat, dairy and eggs and remain disconnected from this violence. The only way out is VEGAN.
