Washington State to Kill Entire Wolf Pack So You Can Eat Burgers

Ari Solomon August 25, 2016
Wildlife officials in Washington state are set
to kill
an entire wolf pack consisting of six adults and five pups. The
reason: to protect livestock living nearby (since mid-July nearly a dozen cows
have been attacked).
While officials try to justify the brutal slaughter of the wolf
pack as necessary to protect livestock, the truth is that the cows themselves will be next on the chopping block.
Do ranchers care
about the lives of their animals? Only insomuch as they bring them a profit
once they’re slaughtered. That’s what the killing of these innocent wolves
really protects.
Each year, thousands
of wild animals, including bears, coyotes, foxes, and even endangered species,
are killed because they are seen as a threat to the livestock industry — all so
people can eat meat.
If the violence
and abuse
that occur inside America’s factory farms don’t move you to stop
eating meat, dairy, and eggs, perhaps this story will. It’s time we stood up
for all animals by leaving all animal products off our plates and transitioning
to a humane plant-based diet.
