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!

Please stop this painful and degrading procedures to animals. Why don't we put each one of you in a cramped, digusting pens. Maybe will you understand the idea that's WRONG. So stop it.

Lessening global warming alone is a reason to halt factory farms. This change would be the biggest possible step to greater health of our obese, cancerous population.
