This petition is to make the public aware of the terrible conditions and treatment of animals and their babies in abattoirs and the meat and dairy industry, how they are used as commercial products and treated with unthinkable cruelty, (even before they are put to death.)
How can we not take action as we go about our daily lives, knowing that this terrible suffering is taking place as if it is normal as long as we don't have to see it? But the animals do see it. It is their reality and also our reality but we don't have to face those ignorant people in abattoirs who torture and put to death innocent and intelligent animals, causing them deep grief fear and pain on an hourly basis.

This is happening when we sip our coffee, when we wake up, when we meet our friends. Society can't continue on in this way. It is not normal. This is not good practice and it is not a good way of life.

This petition is about doing something positive to prevent the slaughter of animals and encouraging the government to promote animal welfare in our daily lives in terms of how we treat animals, how we interact with animals and our education of animals. As a nation we need to include animals in our pursuit of welfare and justice, not exclude them.
Abattoirs are a national disgrace. The cruelty and pain that an animal has to endure just so that people can eat their meat is unethical and unjust. We must raise awareness of this horrific journey animals experience and promote animal welfare, love of animals, respect towards animals and encourage people to look at new ways of living and eating that does not involve the suffering of animals. There are alternatives. There is a better way of life than this. Making animals happy, will make us happy also.

Do read the facts. Don't turn a blind eye to this cruelty and terrible suffering.
Here are a few links that will tell you the facts about meat consumerism and abattoirs.

Dear David Cameron,
I would like to submit this petition to you so that you can understand that there are many people who are against the meat industry and who are offended not only by its existence but also the way it is being handled.In this modern day and age. With so many issues being explored, we feel that not only is meat eating something that is not necessary  but also that the brutal and insensitive slaughter of animals on a daily basis for food is unacceptable.Please do not ignore the facts. Please show compassion towards the animals of our earth, that includes farm animals, not just wild animals.Understand that animals have a right to their natural lifespan. Think logically. If animals were meant to die within two years then why is their natural lifespan so much longer? It is wrong and unethical that we take this right away from them. An alternative solution to this horrific industry needs to be put in place. Why don't you be the person to start it off? 
Please think about the nightmare situation these poor animals endure on a daily basis.
Help us become more ethical and thoughtful as a nation.
Yours Sincerely
Alice Lenkiewicz
