“The men and women that raise the animals that you eat will tell you they live ‘wonderful and happy lives’ … They will tell you that their animals are ‘deeply loved’ and ‘treated just like pets’ … They will tell you that their animals all have name — and that they want to be milked — and that they don’t really want their babies after they give birth to them.

These … Are … All … Lies.

As well-intended as they might be, animal farmers are people who make money off the dead bodies of the animals they raise, and this is true for every single one of them; every “organic farm” and every “small family farm” and every “cruelty free farm”. They are ALL businesses that REQUIRE cruelty to remain financially stable.

Now these folks might show you cute photos of frolicking calves and green pastures as a marketing ploy to confuse you. They might even claim to be sincerely “informing the consumer” by telling them the good parts of animal farming.

Of course, what they will also inevitably do — every single time — is completely ignore (if not deceitfully cover up) everything innately negative about animal agriculture — and purposefully hide from view all the atrocities they ALL commit against their warm, caring, sentient charges.

And they will almost certainly even claim that people such as myself (who personally gain absolutely nothing from our activism other than a frequent overdose of frustration & heartache) are lying, or misinformed, or simply trying to put farmers out of business.

Of course, what these farmers do NOT tell you is that they ALL routinely mutilate their animals without any painkillers — docking their tails, branding their flesh, castrating their genitals, shearing their horns, cutting their teeth, singing their beaks … What they will NOT tell you is that almost every single one of them actively supports the forced masturbation of male animals and the forced impregnation of female animals (via sodomy & rape) while they are tied to “rape racks” … What they will NOT tell you is that every single one of their mother animals has her baby forcibly taken from her shortly after birth — and this, despite the babies’ cries of terror; and this, despite the mothers’ wails of mourning (both of which often continue for days) … What they will NOT tell you is that ALL male babies (regardless of species) are essentially uneconomical and therefore unwanted; that baby male calves are hit in the head with hammers or locked in isolation crates to become “veal”, that baby male sheep receive the same treatment to become “lamb”, that baby male pigs are slammed head-first onto concrete floors to become “bacon”, that baby male chickens are either dumped by the thousands into garbage bags to suffocate to death or are ground up ALIVE in a vile machine called a “macerator”.

And every one of these murdered babies had a mother who loved them just as deeply and just as tenderly as any human mother loves her own newborn … Every one of these murdered babies HAD a mother … Every one of their brutal deaths was completely unnecessary … And, chances are, every one of their deaths was at least partially funded by you.” ~ inspired by Sarah Sunshine
