STOP FACTORY FARMING NOW!!!

Target:
the Government, department of agriculture and farming
Many people think farming is pigs or chickens running around a spacious field. Sadly, this is far from the truth. Most meat has been factory farmed. Factory farmed animals never see the light of day. Pigs are trapped in cages so small they can hardly take one step. Chickens, ducks and turkeys and piled into sheds. Thousands in one tiny shed. They are trampled by each other, get burned from all the faeces littering the floor (in their short lifespans the shed isn't cleaned out even once) and get fed so much they are really fat, so they are ready to be killed after six weeks. Because they are so fat, many of them won't be able to walk, not that walking's much use to them anyway because there isn't enough room.


END FACTORY FARMING
BEFORE IT ENDS US

This is no different between killing animals or humans. We all have the same organs-heart, lungs, blood, etc. wants, needs, love, and feelings. Animals feel happy or sad, hungry, playful, get excited, and get depressed like us. Oh, you say..well, they're just animals-food chain. We need to start treating EVERY living creature like it is human. Animals have souls just like humans do. Is this who we want to be? This about it...

I sign this petition, because I'm a strong believer in the fact, that animals have the same right to their lives as you and I. I don't eat meat, but remember when I did and why I stopped. I simply couldn't support the killing of animals anylonger. The cruelty that goes on in the meat industry is simply horrible and has got to stop. However, as long as people eat meat, it will be a hard battle to end this horrible treatment of animals. The inhumane killing of animals will continue as long as people put money above life, and as long as people continue eating the flesh of animals. So stop eating meat, this is the only way to end this insanity. Someday, mankind will look back at his meat eating, animal abusing, and animal killing ancestors, with discust and disrespect. Someday, man will not even understand how the human race, was ever this primitive and ignorant..

How much of this are we going to allow? We are killing our planet. It is dying a slow death. We can only hope to stop and maybe reverse some of what we have done.

There is NO need to abuse a creature that you take a life from in order to have food. Stop the cruelty or you will be stopped.

This is worse than what they did during the holocaust! They called Hitler bad, but we are no better if we're eating factory-farming produce.

If we are going to eat meat, which I do, we should at least be humane about the conditions these animals who are sacrificed are raised in. It is better for our bodies to eat happy animals.
