Calling for help about what to do about our world's animal farming policies

[norseman]

We should show more respect for our food animals.

Most consumers are unaware of the immense suffering and severe confinement of these gentle, sentient animals. In factory farms, Mother pigs are locked into small sow and gestation crates for most of their lives. These metal cages barely fit their bodies. They cannot move or even turn around. This is their life. A life of suffering.
In the dairy industry, gentle, fragile bobby calves are taken from their Mothers shorty after birth. Most are sent to veal factories. They are then locked into small veal crates, some chained and restrained by their necks. They cannot move. They cry out in fear and pain. This will be their life.
They will never see sun-light or know what it is like to be a calf. On the day they are to be slaughtered, most of them are too weak to walk to the truck.
I am always signing petitions and sending letters against these inhumane practices. If only animals could talk, what would they tell us?

The majority of farm animals around the world are locked away in cages, in inhumane factory farms. Their suffering is immense.

I kinda forgot about this thread and am so glad I remembered it, and am SO grateful for all the amazing comments here.

I can't believe I actually found the name of the documentary. It's called "Samsara". It was a visually stunning non-narration documentary with heart-stopping footage of human cultures around the globe. Some of the footage made me go, "Wow, humans are so amazingly creative and imaginative!" Other footage, like the part about the meat industry, made me go, "Wow, humans are so incredibly cruel!"

Here is the IMDB info on it.

Dear Natasharabbit: Thank you SO VERY much for posting this! I admit, I had to skip past a few parts - being highly sensitive I get messed up even just witnessing the suffering of others. But I loved the image of the woman petting the chicken and the sweet pig with the pretty pink necklace! I shared this on my FB page and made a pledge to refuse to buy factory farmed products. Cuz if every dollar I as a consumer spend counts as a "vote" for or against something, I am choosing to "vote" for a kinder more compassionate life for animals, and I want to be remembered as a kind, compassionate consumer. Thanks again!

This site has the bonus too that with each petition someone signs there, it gives points and then one can with those points choose something to donate for a charity (eg food for an animal in a shelter, trees, land for endangered animals etc)

Hi, sea-dove! I checked this out too. Really fabulous website. Shared it on my FB too. Cool thing is, I work in public education and a number of my friends are caring and socially/ethically conscious teachers who bring their ethics into their classrooms and support their students to become educated consumers and ethical citizens too.

Wouldn't it be amazing if the factory/mass producing farming industry was completely shut down because the majority of the consumer world stopped buying their trauma-laced and cruelty-based products?

That is wonderful news! Thanks for sharing the video and being a voice for the dear animals that need our compassion and help so much! A kinder world is in our future, people just need to realize that their daily choices have power to create change.

After falling in love with 'Esther' their pet pig, then witnessing how animals are treated in inhumane factory farms, these 2 guys are now building a Sanctuary for pigs in Canada. They are amazing! That's what I call 'Love in Action'
Esther the wonder pig sanctuary is receiving so much support from the public. She has a huge FB following! There are so many amazing people in the world creating a kinder world! So inspiring!
