Gene Baur: Farm Animal ER: Factory Farming Hurts Everyone
Animals exploited for meat, milk and eggs live short, miserable lives. They are systematically exposed to intense confinement, filth, crowded conditions and brutal abuses. Parts of their tails, toes, genitals, ears and beaks are cut off, without painkillers, to better mold them to the perversely unnatural and highly stressful environments of factory farms. It is common for farm animals in these environments to succumb to injury and disease, and every year hundreds of millions die before reaching the slaughterhouse. Factory farming subjects billions of animals to intolerable conditions and untimely deaths, while a majority of U.S. citizens unwittingly support this cruelty by consuming meat, milk and eggs.
