Sorry, Europeans, but Your Slaughterhouses Are Just as Horrific. Here’s Proof.

Joe Loria December 13, 2017
Swiss animal rights group Pour l’Egalité Animale just released a
disturbing undercover investigation of a slaughterhouse in Avenches, Switzerland.
Heartbreaking footage shows workers fighting with animals
who are desperately trying to save themselves. At one point, two workers
struggle to hold down a goat who is battling for his life.
See for yourself.
While many European countries have some of the world’s strictest
animal welfare laws, this video proves that there is truly no humane way to
kill an animal who wants to live.
Mercy
For Animals has conducted over 60 undercover investigations
in the United
States, Canada, and Latin America, and each time we’ve revealed horrific abuses
similar to those shown in the video.
If we wouldn’t treat dogs or cats in such appalling ways,
how can we pay the meat industry to do it to farmed animals? In all the ways
that matter, farmed animals are just like the companion animals we adore at
home. Yet we relegate farmed animals to intense and nightmarish cruelties: cage confinement; agonizing
mutilations; and gruesome, terrifying deaths.
No one needs to eat animal products to survive. In fact, ditching
animal products greatly benefits human
health
and the
planet
. Right now millions of people are thriving on a delicious and humane
plant-based diet.
It’s time animal lovers everywhere denounced unnecessary
killing of animals and switched to a compassionate vegan diet. We can live our
values of kindness and compassion by leaving animals off our plates.

9 Pieces of Photographic Evidence That Prove Christmas Ham Came From Hell

Each year Americans eat an estimated 318 million pounds of ham around the holidays. But how many actually think about where it comes from? Sadly, at today’s factory farms, piglets are routinely castrated, tail docked, and ear tagged without painkillers, and mother pigs endure nearly a lifetime of extreme confinement in small metal crates. Of […]
