Animal
Suffering
Are
you aware of the fact that more than 100,000 cows are slaughtered every
day in the Unite Sates?
Most
animals in Western countries are raised on "factory farms".
These facilities are designed to produce the maximum number of animals
for slaughter at the minimum expense. Animals are crowded together,
disfigured and treated like machines for the conversion of feed into
flesh. This is a reality that most of us will never see with our own
eyes. It has been said that, "One visit to a slaughterhouse will
make you a vegetarian for life."
Leo Tolstoy said, "As
long as there are slaughterhouses there will be battlefields. A vegetarian
diet is the acid test of humanitarianism". Although most of us
do not actively condone killing, we have developed the habit, supported
by society, of eating meat regularly, without any real awareness of
what is being done to the animals we eat.
