TRAGEDY! 300 Baby Calves Dead in Factory Farm Fire

baby-jersey-cow.jpgCTV Montreal reports sad news for animal lovers: three hundred calves died in a barn fire on Monday.

The fire started late at night, and despite efforts by Montreal firefighters, all that remained after the fire was put out was charred wreckage of the building, meaning certain death for the 300 calves inside the barn.

This heart-wrenching news serves as a poignant reminder that animals on factory farms are put in harm’s way every day.

Sentient beings like these cattle are denied safety and everything natural to them during their lives on factory farms. Absent devastating barn fires, they are all still ultimately doomed to a terrifying death at the slaughterhouse.
