Farming with live animals is a 7 day a week, legal form of slavery.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every factory-farmed animal is, as a practice, treated in ways that would be illegal if it were a dog or a cat.
People should try eating no animal products for just ONE DAY a week.
There is no law for farm labor organizing, save the law of the jungle.
The most important of all rights is the right to life, and I cannot foresee a day when domesticated animals will be granted that right in law.
Each year, billions of animals are subjected to cruelty on factory farms, feed lots, and slaughterhouses. The brutality that these animals endure would be grounds for felony cruelty charges if inflicted upon our cats and dogs.
Factory farming came about from a moral race to the bottom, with corporations vying against each other to produce more and bigger animals with less care at lower cost.
Farming as we do it is hunting, and in the sea we act like barbarians.
Slavery is a weed that grows on every soil.
When you meet the farmers and go to the farms, you see that they treat their animals like they're family. It makes a big difference.
We had a small farm growing up. It was my grandfather's farm, and we didn't torture the animals, and we didn't feed them stuff we wouldn't eat.
