Fishers who use drift or other modern nets, kill
millions of sea animals and disrupt the sea bed.
Fishermens' nets kill about 10 times as many
other animals as the ones they are trying to
catch.
15,000,000,000 land animals are slaughtered every
for food, and an unknown but much larger number
of sea animals (including thousands of dolphins
caught accidentally) are killed.
Several chickens are stuffed into battery cages
together, unable to even spread their wings and
often not able to stand up. 95% of poultry suffer
from injury before being killed.
Every year, millions of male chicks are gassed or
pulped because they can not lay eggs, while their
sisters go to the battery sheds.
Chicks are debeaked without anaesthetic so they
won't hurt each other in the unnaturally tight
confines they're kept in. To us, this would be
like having our fingernails pulled out without
anaesthetic.
Sows are kept crammed in stalls 1.3 x 1 metre on
concrete or slatted floors, so small they can not
even turn around.
Cows naturally produce 5 litres of milk per day
for their calves, but under the systems of modern
farming are made to produce 25-40 litres a day.
This results in swollen & inflamed udders,
and they are soon worn out. Cows naturally live
up to 20 years, but are slaughtered at 5-7 years
when their milk production begins to fall.
Cows only give milk for 10 months after they have
a calf, so they are routinely artificially
inseminated (or mechanically raped) to keep them
pregnant and milking. Their calves are taken
away,usually at 12 hours old, for meat or export
to veal crates.
