- "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" (Animal Farm by George Orwell). In other words, we consider dogs more equal than cows because we don't eat dogs.
- Almost twice as many dogs and cats are euthanized as are adopted.
- In the Philippines, there is a recipe for stewed dog.
- There are two types of chickens - layers and broilers. The layers are the ones who lay eggs, whereas the boilers are the chickens that become meat.
- Because of Common Farming Exemptions (CFEs), corporations can define thier own level of cruelty in the industry.
- A downer is an animal that collapses and is unable to get back up due to little rest and water. The number of downed cows is abou 200,000 a year.

Wow! That is eye opening. I think the part that freaks me out the most is that the CEFs can define their own level of cruelty in the industry. If they can do that then they can basically abuse their animals without suffering any consequences. :(

ReplyDeleteExactly! They're the ones controlling how the animals are slaughtered, when they are fed, what conditions they live in, etc. It's awful!
