factory farming.
Every 24 hours, more than 23 million animals
are brutally killed for food. An estimated 99 percent of all meat, dairy, and
eggs come from factory farms. In these farms, animals are abused in ways that
would warrant felony-level animal cruelty charges if the
victims were dogs or cats.

Egg-laying hens are crammed
by the thousands into tiny wire cages and each given floor space smaller
than the surface of an iPad to spend nearly their entire lives. Mother pigs are
kept in gestation crates, cages barely larger than
their own bodies, and calves raised for veal are ripped away from their mothers
within hours of being born and chained in barren crates where they are virtually
immobilized.

These animals never see the sun, feel the
grass, or breathe fresh air. Instead they are imprisoned in windowless, filthy
sheds until the day they are loaded onto transport trucks destined for the
slaughterhouse where they will meet a violent, bloody death.
