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!

Animals deserve the quality of life we enjoy and that does not include cramping them into pens or cages and allowing them to become ill. It also does not include being beaten to death or tortured. There is no difference in cruelty to animals if it is a dogfigting case or if it is animals being tortured in the slaughterhouse and both should be treated with the same punishment.

The silent agony of living beeings , who feel , breathe and suffer unsustainable and inhumane treatments , cannot go on . What is going on is horrible and revolting. Besides, their fear and suffering causes their organism to releases toxins that are poisonous to human beeings .

We must act in a manner that diplays our value of life, of all kinds. Long ago humans realized having a kidn relation to the animals that serve and abide with them is the right thing to do and we must step back into lien with this obvious truth.

Outlaw factory farms. It is a disgusting abuse of power. No being should be treated with such disrepect. Humans should NEVER do this type of thing. It is degrading to life.

People and animals feel the same things: FEAR and PAIN. Why we support these terrible feelings towards animals?

Factory farming is a disgrace to humanity. We should all be aware the price the animals pay for profit.

Factory farming is the most cruel act against animals. When you respect your meat on your diner table, then you need to change your attitude. It should be forbidden by law treating any animal like you do uptill now!
