Pits of Despair

Cows.  Dairy cows are impregnated in cages called rape-racks or also more commonly known as “pits of despair”. This method is used to maximize the production of dairy cows. When the calves are born they are separated from their mothers and forced to live in small cages. This causes both psychological and physical damage to the calf. As the cows are reared to maturity they are milked to the extreme until their udders no longer contain any more milk. Furthermore to control them they are frequently jabbed with electric prods.

ugh. STOP EATING BEEF! AND DAIRY PRODUCE!

Clothes

It's not just food. It's clothing too.

11 Facts about Animal Cruelty

Please share this!

1. In many circuses, wild and exotic animals are trained through the use of intimidation and physical abuse. Former circus employees have reported seeing animals beaten, whipped, poked with sharp objects and even burned to force them to learn their routines!
2. Elephants who perform in circuses are often kept in chains for as long as 23 hours a day from the time they are babies.
3. More than 25 million vertebrate animals are used in testing in the United States each year. When invertebrate animals are thrown into the mix, the estimated number rises to as high as 100 million.
4. By 2022, 22% of all species will be extinct if no action is taken.
5. If you live in Pennsylvania, California, Florida, Rhode Island, Illinois, Virginia, Oregon, New York, New Jersey and Vermont you have the legal right to refuse to participate in dissection in class! In Louisiana, there is a State resolution and in Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland and New Mexico, there are Departments of Education resolutions in place that allow you to refuse to dissect, although it hasn’t yet become a law.
6. Dog fighting and cock-fighting are illegal in all 50 states.
7. It is estimated that on average it takes 1,000 dogs to maintain a mid-sized racetrack operation. New greyhounds are continually entering the system to replace greyhounds that grade-off due to injury, age or poor performance. There are currently over 30 tracks operating in the United States.
8. Tens of thousands of wild and domesticated horses from the United States are cruelly slaughtered every year to be used for horse meat in Europe and Asia. Since the last horse slaughter plants in the U.S. were closed in 2007, thousands of horses have been shipped to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.
9. Many studies have found a link between cruelty to animals and other forms of interpersonal violence.
10. Neglect and abandonment are the most common forms of companion animal abuse in the United States.
11. A fur coat is pretty cool—for an animal to wear. Eighteen red foxes are killed to make one fox-fur coat, 55 minks to make a mink coat.

Purebreed or Not

What is the difference? Essentially, they're still dogs, with cute puppy eyes and a personality to die for. What's the point of looking down on Mongrels? Basically, all my favorite dogs at the shelter are Mongrels, and purebred, so what? There are hundreds, thousands, millions of other dogs waiting in shelters, desiring a home. They're stuck in cages, hoping for a home or left on the streets, trying to find food to survive. 

Eggs or meat

A chicken that is born to lay eggs forever and a chicken born to be killed for chicken nuggets. Which one is worse?

All these chickens live crammed into cages that are tiny and dirty. WIthout the space to move, these chickens have leg problems; brittleness. Some are even starved for days to produce more eggs, and this starvation of up to 14 days cause them to loose their body fat. So you have super skinny anorexic like chickens laying eggs for the consumption of us humans. To add on to the pain, the animals are treated badly by the workers and these creatures are defenseless against us violent human.

Sigh

Everytime i see abuse pictures. I just want to go to the animal, rescue it, give it a hug and tell it that everything will be okay and from now on it will be treated well.

And then i go find my dog and give him a big hug.
