BREAKING! Mexico’s Historic Farmed Animal Protection Legislation Moves Forward

Last year a brave Mercy For Animals investigator went
undercover at government-owned slaughterhouses across Mexico and documented horrific
cruelty.

In response, nine members of Mexico’s congress from
four different parties introduced historic legislation that would criminalize slaughtering
an animal who had not been properly stunned. Recently Mexico’s justice and
agriculture commissions of the federal congress voted in favor of the proposal.

Today the entire chamber of deputies passed
the groundbreaking legislation! Even though the bill has a long road ahead, its
approval by this congressional body is a major step toward getting it signed
into law.

The shocking video footage that led to the landmark
legislation exposed heinous
animal cruelty at several municipal slaughterhouses throughout Mexico: cows
and pigs violently kicked and beaten, painfully shocked with electric prongs in
their faces and eyes, stabbed repeatedly and left to choke on their own blood
and vomit, and even cut open while still conscious and able to feel pain.

See for yourself.

While Mexico’s progress could certainly help reduce suffering
for countless farmed animals, the best way to help spare them from unspeakable cruelty
is to leave them off your plate. Click here for tips on switching to a
