This is absolutely repulsive. These sick humans need to be jailed for the rest of their lives. They have NO right. These poor creatures don't deserve this. You would not do this to a human and get away with it, DONT do it to an animal.

I stand very strong against ANY kind of abuse, but the abuse of animals in particular, even farm animals, are at the top of my list.

To those it concerns, Every creature deserves to be treated humanely. You dont have to abuse a chicken for it to lay an egg, or a cow for her to give milk naturally all of these amazing animals knows its purpose. Please, please, please give these animals a different and kind hearted life for as long as each one has left. Just because you have become used to seeing your animals suffer and they have become "just animals" please use your heart. Thank you!

I don't eat meat anylonger, but I remember when I did and why I stopped. I simply couldn't support the killing of animals, one more day. What goes on in the meat industry is simply horrible, and has got to stop. Someday, mankind will look back at his meat eating, animal abusing and animal killing ancestors, with discust and disrespect. Someday everyone will get it, and rise above this primitivety..

"Animals are now more than ever a test of our character, of mankind's capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful stewardship. We are called to treat them with kindness, not because they have rights or power or some claim to equality, but in a sense because they don't; because they all stand unequal and powerless before us."
