Parody Play Set Shows Ugly Truth of Factory Farming

Sarah Von Alt August 19, 2015
Children’s toys depicting farms as idyllic, with red barns
and happy animals who have plenty of space to move around, are grossly
deceptive at best. A new campaign by Compassion in World Farming is highlighting
that fact—with a brand-new factory farm play set for kids.
A recent write-up in Adweek
explains, “Lots of kids play with barnyard toys, but the reality of factory
farms isn’t as rosy.
Accordingly, this new parody play set “includes box-shaped
hens, pigs and cows that cram too perfectly together into cages inside a barn.
There are even little removable bacon strips.
Check out the promo video:
Countless undercover investigations by Mercy For Animals and
others have documented a system of cruelty and neglect on modern farms.
Subjected to extreme confinement, mutilations without painkillers, and a
ruthless slaughter, animals are viewed as nothing more than meat, milk, and
eggs.
Luckily, we can remove our support of a system that disgusts
children and adults alike by ditching cruel animal products.
