In a documentary that I recently have watched I learned a lot things, in which were completely disturbing. I am personally a huge animal lover, I don't know about most people but it is hard to sit back and watch what these factory farms do to the animals they have. "Birds make up 9 out of the 10 billion farm animals killed each year in the U.S" (Vegucated- the movie"). These people, who most likely have a pet at home waiting for them, are the ones responsible for cutting off Piglets tails and even testicles. Are you okay with agreeing that this is Humane to do, that it is okay to operate like this without anesthesia, or any kind of pain killer for that matter? These employers treat these animals like they are lifeless creatures; they castrate Steers with a rubber band. They do not care about the pain the animal is feeling, anesthesia is not a necessity. If this was your dog would you have the heart to go forward with this process, what exactly is the difference? .
To say that animals are incapable of feeling is outrageous. Elephants and Gorillas mourn when they have lost a fellow friend, or family member. More and more people are becoming appalled by the treatment of animals in factory farms, both the everyday treatment and the occasional illegal acts revealed through undercover investigations. As a result, many people consider humanely raised meat to be anything that was not raised in a typical factory farm. These farms raise animal in tight confinement, feed them grain that fattens them unnaturally so these companies can raise as many animals as possible. "Those of us that raise our own animals are doing so because we don't want to be part of the industrialized agricultural machine that routinely abuses animals for the sake of the almighty dollar" (James McWilliams). .
Buying food that has Humane Labels does not mean you are purchasing food that did not suffer like Factory Farmed animals.
