Meet Your Meat: End Factory Farming Today!
Target: US House of RepresentativesSponsored by: PETA
Have you met your meat? Most people eat meat with the luxury of not having to see the horrors of how the animals are raised and slaughtered. These practices are not only cruel, they are dangerous to our health as well, as unhealthy animals produce unhealthy meat.
In factory farms, chickens, pigs, cows and other animals are treated like commodities, despite their intelligence and personality. Chickens, who form strong emotional bonds with their families, have their sensitive beaks sawed off with a burning hot blade and are confined to battery cages where they can't even lift a wing.
Pigs, who are considered smarter than 3-year-old children, are forcibly impregnated and confined to filthy metal crates so small they can't even turn around or lie down. Cows, who are gentle giants who are visibly distressed when separated from their calves, are subjected to castration, branding and de-horning - all without anesthesia.
These cruelties are just the beginning of the horrors of factory farming. Sign this petition today to tell Congress that factory farming must be stopped!

When will human beings start to treat animals of all kinds humanly? Animals would never do to others what we do to them. Just think of how YOU would feel if it was done to you, living in a cage, not able to sleep etc etc without speaking of the torture these animals endure.

The manner in which these hogs are handled makes me sick to the stomach. It's awful to treat animals like that. I urge you to support fairness. Who wants to eat anything that's been abused anyway? Some even say you are what you eat.

I decided many years ago to be a vegetarian. I cannot agree that any of God's creatures have to suffer for a man's greed and missing sense for humanity, moral and ethic. But this human kind even kills itself for their own greed.
