“Cows that are fed organic food are still kept as slaves on farms, regardless of whether it is a large corporate factory farm or a small family farm. Besides, every dairy cow, no matter what she has been fed, has her babies stolen from her shortly after birth and she will inevitably end up in the slaughterhouse.” Has BeensStillsEndsMatterBabyBirthNo Matter WhatSlaveCorporateFedsFarmsFactoriesCowsStolenDairySlaughterhousesOrganic FoodFamily FarmsDairy CowsSmall Family Author:Sharon Gannon
“Most of the plants grown to be fed to farm animals are heavily saturated with pesticides and herbicides and have been genetically modified, all of which contributes to the pollution and destruction of our environment, which harms us all.” Has BeensAnimalEnvironmentDestructionPlantHarmFedsFarmsPollutionOur EnvironmentSaturatedPesticidesGenetically ModifiedHerbicides Author:Sharon Gannon
“Farms, whether small or large, are places where slaves are kept. The animals are fattened up to be eaten, or exploited for their ability to make honey or milk, or for their fur, wool or body parts; they are kept as breeders to produce more animals who can in turn be exploited and ultimately sold, slaughtered, and eaten.” BodyTurnsAbilityAnimalProduceSlaveFarmsHoneyMilkFurWoolBreeders Author:Sharon Gannon
“Some people may argue that if the animals are treated humanely prior to being slaughtered, this justifies their confinement and slaughter. Is it ethical to rob beings of their freedom but give them a comfortable prison and provide them with food until they become fat enough to be slaughtered? Any way you look at it, farms are places where animals are kept in preparation to be slaughtered and ultimately eaten as food.” PeopleIfsWayGivingLooksMayEnoughAnimalComfortablePrisonArguingTreatedFatsPreparationJustifyEthicalFarmsSlaughterConfinement Author:Sharon Gannon
“It is true that every being is enjoying life or suffering as a direct result of his or her own past actions.

“Today's fishing industry supplies land farms with fish as well. Over fifty percent of the fish caught is fed to livestock on factory farms and "regular" farms. It is an ingredient in the enriched "feed meal" fed to livestock. Farm animals, like cows, who by nature are vegans, are routinely force-fed fish as well as the flesh, blood, and manure of other animals. It may take sixteen pounds of grain to make one pound of beef, but it also takes one hundred pounds of fish to make that one pound of beef.” WellsMayTodayForceAnimalBloodLandIndustryPercentHundredCaughtFishesFleshMealsFiftyFishingPoundsFedsIngredientsFarmsVeganFactoriesCowsGrainSuppliesSixteenBeefManureLivestock Author:Sharon Gannon
“Some meat eaters defend meat eating by pointing out that it is natural: in the wild, animals eat one another. The animals that end up on our breakfast, lunch, and dinner plates, however, aren't those who normally eat other animals. The animals we exploit for food are not the lions and tigers and bears of the world. For the most part, we eat the gentle vegan animals. However, on today's farms, we actually force them to become meat eaters by making them eat feed containing the rendered remains of other animals, which they would never eat in the wild.” WorldEndsTodayForceNaturalAnimalBearsEatingRemainsDinnerGentleMeatBreakfastFarmsLionsLunchVeganPlatesTigersPointingExploitsContainingWild AnimalMeat EatingDinner Plates Author:Sharon Gannon
