PHOTOS: See the Dramatic Difference Between Animals on Factory Farms and Animals at Sanctuaries

Millions of animals are raised on factory farms to be slaughtered for food. They endure grim lives, often never seeing sunlight until they’re on their way to be killed. These farms are crowded and filthy, with floors typically covered in feces and urine. 

These images show the stark difference between animals who were lucky enough to be rescued and those who unfortunately were not.

Thankfully, 400 million fewer animals were killed in 2014 than in 2007 in the U.S. This means Americans are consuming less meat and reducing needless animal suffering on cruel factory farms. You can join this compassionate revolution by switching to a vegan diet.
