Just yesterday another scandal was reported about animal abuse in Germany. I would have happened on farms that were owned by agriculture directors of German organisations for animal farms: Zentralverband der Deutschen Schweineproduktion, a turkey farming organization, farmers federation DBV.
I don't know if anyone read about that in the UK, US, Australia or elsewhere.
Here is a Dutch article:

Nevertheless, I think people should be confronted with that.
Animal farming is a world of difference compared with the 1960's or before. The industry and meat-business makes a lot of effort to make people believe they still live in that time. |
Yes, out of sight, out of mind - and for a reason.
The Livestock Industry isn't just abusing and destroying billions of animals, it's destroying the planet too.
Even the UN and world governments acknowledge this fact, which is why they are looking into test tube meat and insects as alternative protein sources. Though why they don't just advocate a plant-based diet ....
