Thank you for accepting this booklet.As you read on, please bear in mind thatopposing the cruelties of factory farmingis not an all-or-nothing proposition:By simply eating less meat, you can helpprevent farmed animals from suffering.

When we picture a arm, we picturescenes rom Old MacDonald and

Charlottes Web, not warehouses with

10,000 chickens. When we look, its

shocking. Our rural idylls have been

transormed into stinking actories.

T Los Angls TimsThe High Price of Cheap Food, 1/21/04

In the past half-century, most U.S. livestockproduction has moved from small familyfarms to factory farmshuge warehouses

where animals are confined in crowded

cages or pens or in restrictive stalls. Thecompetition to lower costs has led agri-business to treat animals as mere objects,rather than individuals who can suffer.

Hidden from public view, the cruelty thatoccurs on factory farms is easy to ignore.But more and more people are taking alook at how farmed animals are treated

and deciding that its too cruel to support.

[It is] more economically ecient to put

a greater number o birds into each cage,

accepting lower productivity per bird

but greater productivity per cage.

[I]ndividual animals may produce,or example gain weight, in part

because they are immobile, yet suer

because o the inability to move.

Chickens are cheap, cages are expensive.

Bernard E. Rollin, PhDFarm Animal Welfare, Iowa State University Press, 2003

Left: A single battery cage holding at least 11 egg-laying hens.

Above: A broiler house, and pigs on their way to slaughter.

In my opinion, i most urban meat eaters

were to visit an industrial broiler house,

to see how the birds are raised, and

could see the birds being harvested

and then being processed in a poultry

processing plant, they would not be

impressed and some, perhaps many

o them would swear o eating chicken

and perhaps all meat.

For modern animal agriculture, the less

the consumer knows about whats hap-

pening beore the meat hits the plate, the

better. I true, is this an ethical situation?

Should we be reluctant to let people know

what really goes on, because werenot really proud o it and concerned that

it might turn them to vegetarianism?

Peter Cheeke, PhDOregon State University Professor of Animal Agriculture

Contemporary Issues in Animal Agriculture, 2004 textbook

With rising temperatures, rising sea levels,melting icecaps and glaciers, shiting

ocean currents and weather patterns,

climate change is the most serious

challenge acing the human race.

The livestock sector is a major player,

Eating less meat not only prevents cruelty, but also protects the planet:your dietary habits can actually have as much impact on reducingglobal warming as your driving habits.

to a range o behavioral vices that can

include cannibalizing her cagemates and

rubbing her body against the wire mesh

[T]he 10 percent or so o hens that cant

bear it and simply die is built into the

Virtually all U.S. birds raisedfor food are factory farmed.1

Inside the densely populated buildings,enormous amounts of waste accumulate.The resulting ammonia levels commonlycause painful burns to the birds skin, eyes,

and respiratory tracts.2

To reduce losses from birds pecking eachother, farmers cut a third to a half of thebeaks off chickens, turkeys, and ducks.3The birds suffer severe pain for weeks. 4Some, unable to eat afterwards, starve.5

Birds

Egg-Laying HensPacked in cages (typically less than halfa square foot of floor space per bird), 6hens can become immobilized and die ofasphyxiation or dehydration. Decomposingcorpses are found in cages with live birds.

By the time hens are sent to slaughter for

low egg production, their skeletons areso fragile that many suffer broken bonesduring catching, transport, or shackling.7

Right: Two dead hens are left in battery cages with live birds.

Free-Range? Birds may be labeled free-range if theyhave USDA-certified access to the outdoors. No other criteriasuch as environmental quality or space per birdare included inthis term. While free-range farms may be an improvement overstandard factory farms, they are by no means free of suffering.

In the September 1976 issueof the industry journal Hog

Farm Management, John Byrnes advised:Forget the pig is an animal. Treat him just

like a machine in a factory.

Todays pig farmers have done just that.As Morley Safer related on 60 Minutes:This [movie Babe] is the way Americanswant to think of pigs. Real-life Babes seeno sun in their limited lives, with no hayto lie on, no mud to roll in. The sows live

Pigs

Piglets in connement operations areweaned rom their mothers [23 weeks]

ater birth (compared with 13 weeks in

nature) because they gain weight aster

on their hormone- and antibiotic-ortied

eed. This premature weaning leaves the

pigs with a lielong craving to suck and

chew, a desire they gratiy in connement

by biting the tail o the animal in ront o

them. The USDAs recommended solu-

tion to the problem is called tail docking.Using a pair o pliers (and no anesthetic),

most but not all o the tail is snipped o.

Why the little stump? Because the whole

point o the exercise is not to remove the

object o tail-biting so much as to render

itmore sensitive. Now, a bite on the tail

is so painul that even the most demoral-

ized pig will mount a struggle to avoid it.

Federal law requires that mammals bestunned prior to slaughter (exemptingkosher and halal, which require animalsbe fully conscious as their necks are cut).Common methods of stunning:

Using a captive bolt gun, a metal rod isthrust into the animals brain. Shooting astruggling animal is difficult, and the rodoften misses its mark.10

Electrical current produces a seizure; thenthe throat is cut. Insufficient amperagecan cause an animal to be paralyzed

without losing sensibility.10

Birds account for more than 95 percent of land animals killed for foodin the United States; however, there is no federal law that requires

they be rendered insensible to pain before being slaughtered.

In January 2007, a Mercy For Animalsinvestigator took a job at one of the nationslargest poultry slaughterhouses to witnessthe conditions firsthand:

Birds with broken legs andwings, open wounds, andlarge tumors were shackledand hung on the slaughterline; some of the injured wereleft writhing on the floor forhours beforehand. Workers

punched, kicked, threw, and mutilated livebirds; they tore eggs from the birds bodiesto toss at coworkers, and ripped the heads

off birds who were trapped

inside the transport cages.

In 2005, at an even largerfacility, a PETA investigatorsaw many birds mangled bythe throat-cutting machines;

workers yanked the heads offbirds who missed the blade.

Not Your Childhood Image

by lauren Ornelas, VivaUSA.org

When I saw what lifeis really like for pigson todays farms,I was left feelingsick for days. Iknew they lived onconcrete, indoorsin factory farms.However, I wasnot prepared for

the awful realityof their boredom.In the gestation shed,sows continuously hit their heads againsttheir cage doors as if trying to escape.

After a while, some would give up andlie down, while others again took up theirfutile action.

I saw the pens where pigs are fattened upfor slaughteressentially concrete cells, eachholding about a dozen pigs. In one pen,there was a pig missing an ear. Another hada rupture the size of a grapefruit protrudingfrom his stomach. A dead pig was constantlynudged and licked by others. The stench inthese places is overwhelming.

During EBAAs investigation, 39 sickand injured chickens were rescued,including Yosemite (top of page),Laci, and Scooter (below).

Contrary to what one may hear rom the industry, chickens

are not mindless, simple automata but are complex

behaviorally, do quite well in learning, show a rich social

organization, and have a diverse repertoire o calls.

Anyone who has kept barnyard chickens also recognizes

their signicant dierences in personality.

Emerys Rescue

by Christine Morrissey, EastBayAnimalAdvocates.org

Emery was destined to become one ofthe many chicken breast fillets advertisedas all natural at the local supermarket.However, in a string of luck, this plumprooster made an unusual detour from thenormal life of a bird raised for meat.

During the summer of 2005, rescuers withEast Bay Animal Advocates discovered thedisabled four-week-old chicken at a factory

farm. Leaving the California Central Valleybehind, Emery relocated to the Bay Area.This night changed his life.

A poster chicken of the broiler industry,Emery has a crippling case of splay lega limb deformity common among broilers.

Factory farmedchickens sufferingfrom splay legoften struggle togain access tofood and waterand are denied

veterinary care.

Like turkeys, broiler chickens are confined inside sheds with tensof thousands of other birds. Forced to live on waste-soaked litter,the birds commonly suffer burns on thei r feet and bodies.2

Todays broilers have been bred to reach market weight in sixweekstwice as fast as their 1940s counterparts. 8 This rapidgrowth rate has brought an increasing incidence of diseases thatcause suffering, such as ascites and painful skeletal deformities.4

To avoid problems of reproduction and lameness associated withobesity, broilers used for breeding are severely feed restricted.2

Newborn male calves are generally of little use to dairy producers. They are usually separated from their mothers at one to four days of age toallow dairy farmers to harvest milk. The majority of these calves are raised for special-fed veal. Chained by the neck in individual stalls (below),they are fed a special milk-replacer diet for 18 to 20 weeks before being slaughtered for their pale-colored meat.8

If the anticruelty laws that protectpets were applied to farmed animals,many of the most routine U.S. farm-

ing practices would be illegal in all50 states. Are dogs and cats really so

different from chickens, turkeys, pigs,and cows that one group deserves legal

protection from cruelty, while the otherdeserves virtually no protection at all?

Disregard for farmed animals persists because

few people realize the ways in which theseindividuals are mistreated, and even fewer actuallywitness the abuse. Once aware, most people are

appallednot because they believe in animal rights, butbecause they believe that animals feel pain and that morally

decent human beings should try to prevent pain whenever possible.

Widening the Circle of Compassion

10

Historically, man has expanded the reach o his ethical calculations,

as ignorance and want have receded, rst beyond amily and tribe,

later beyond religion, race, and nation. To bring other species

more ully into the range o these decisions may seem unthinkable

to moderate opinion now. One day, decades or centuries hence,

it may seem no more than civilized behavior requires.

Most vegetarians have excellent health!Indeed, according to the American Dietetic

Associations official position paper, vege-tarians on average have lower body weight,cholesterol, and blood pressure, and lowerrates of type 2 diabetes, heart disease,prostate cancer, and colon cancer.16

With a bit of planning, anyone can main-tain a healthy vegetarian diet. If you decideto eat little or no meat, eggs, or dairy, itsimportant to make sure that youre getting

vitamin B12 and that you read StayingHealthy on Plant-Based Dietsan articleavailable atVeganHealth.org/sh and inour free Guide to Cruelty-Free Eating.

Cruelty-free selectionsare usually offered

at Chinese, Indian,Italian, Mexican,Middle Eastern,

After reviewing this booklet, we hope youlldo what you can to oppose the cruelties ofanimal agriculture. Each time you choose to

eat less meat and eggs, youll remove yoursupport from a cruel system and help createa more compassionate world.

If you decide you dont want to eat anyanimal-derived foods, please remember:the objective is to reduce suffering, notto achieve personal purity or perfection.

Years worth of eating less meat and eggswill prevent more suffering than a brief stint

as a vegan, so its more important to takean approach you can sustain. You can makeexceptions, such as eating meat on certainoccasions, and still make a big differenceby eating vegetarian the rest of the time.
