There's no debate: confining hens to battery cages is animal cruelty.
Your message could be the one that convinces the CEO of a global corporation to do the right thing—will you speak up against this unacceptable greed and abuse? thl.link/4hdDM8e 🐔

Piglet thumping is a widespread practice that kills weak or injured piglets. It’s a brutal method—delivering blunt force trauma to end a life—that comes with a great risk of error and inconsistency. Will you add your name against this practice? thl.link/48932vB

Day-old chicks, sorted and thrown into crates like they're nothing more than vegetables.
In the egg industry, the female chicks are debeaked, while male chicks are killed by asphyxiation or maceration since they don't lay eggs.

Animals slaughtered for food are essentially still babies when their lives are brutally ended 💔

These ducks—only 7-8 weeks old—spent their final moments in a frenzy of fear crowded together on the floor of a slaughterhouse.

Share this post 🔁, and take a stand against piglet thumping: thl.link/4lPecJN 🐷

End Piglet Thumping

Slamming piglets into a concrete floor sounds too horrific to be true, let alone legal. And yet, “piglet thumping” happens daily on factory farms.

It sounds too horrible to be true: Weak, sick, or injured piglets are killed by grabbing them by the hind legs and smashing them against concrete walls or floors. This practice is called piglet thumping, and it's legal and widespread on pig farms.

For every cow producing milk, there's a baby that was ripped away from her.
Unwanted calves are shot. Calves that will grow up to be exploited for milk or slaughtered for beef or veal are kept in solitary pens. Many die of neglect.

No grass, no sun, no room to run. Factory farms are hell on Earth for the animals trapped inside them 💔

This massive cattle feedlot in Arizona confines 115,000 cows (!!!) to barren, dirt pens in scorching heat.

Crammed together with no room to move or rest... Living beings shouldn't be treated this way.

Ammonia from the feces of thousands of chickens stings their eyes and inflames their skin. Their body aches from their muscles growing too big, too fast. Some among them lie dead or dying from the squalid conditions.

The dairy industry impregnates cows just to exploit their motherhood for milk. A few "lucky" calves are allowed to stay with their moms, but "anti-suckling devices" are placed in their noses to stop them from drinking the milk the farm wants to sell 💔

Animals at this slaughterhouse are killed in full view of each another. On their last day of life they know nothing but pain and terror.
We can and must do better—for them.

Eggs = suffering!

This heartbreaking clip was taken in Spain just this year, as part of a recently launched world's largest egg investigation. It doesn't have to be this way 💔

Ditch eggs!

Can you imagine the anxiety and fear pigs feel as they huddle inside overcrowded transport trucks parked outside of the slaughterhouse? These are some of their last moments alive.
