“It is a healthy, natural reaction for someone who witnesses the brutalities inflicted upon nonhuman animals in the agriculture industry for the first time, to ask, "how can we stop this from happening?”. The simple truth is that there remains only one answer, only one way to stop it from happening. We must end the consumption of animal-based products. Until then, nonhuman animals will always be placed in "livestock" conditions, they will always be exploited, they will always be abused and they will always be slaughtered. You cannot teach someone that a life-form has any real value when it is considered acceptable to enslave, kill and eat said being. Whilst humanity views nonhuman animals as resources, mere commodities, they will always be victims of our barbarity. There is no "humane" way to treat a slave and there certainly is no "humane" procedure to take a life.”

Excellent observations and commentary, Unparalleled Suffering. Thank you very much for your courageous activism.

Cows and other farmed animals are made to suffer in so many ways. This has been exhaustively documented time and again, and around the world. One would be so naive to think that there is anything humane about flesh, milk or egg production, and why ever would anyone believe those who profit from it?

There are so many delicious, affordable vegan alternatives that are widely available and better for us, too (and for the environment). It's high time the public wake up to the realities of animal agriculture and stop supporting this egregious animal abuse. High time for the government to stop subsidizing it, too.
