The heart-wrenching video garnered comments
from those who watched. One person wrote, “Crying here—just like a

Sadly, millions of farmed animals are
transported each day from farms to slaughterhouses. These journeys can take

During the trip, animals are subjected to
extremes of temperature and weather, enduring scorching heat or freezing cold. And
as if this weren’t terrible enough, these animals are often forced to go days
