Humane Society for Animals

Every single day, 200 million animals are slaughtered worldwide. In the United States alone, there are 25 million slaughtered a day. These numbers have only increased since the 1960s, it is time for a change!

First, the livestock goes through the transport process in which the animals are starved and dehydrated while being moved to the meat processing facility. While also being overcrowded in extreme temperatures. Stuffed into small cages huddling together in hopes to get warmth.

Second, the animals suffer from an electrical stunning below the head. This method was created as a way to help the animals not feel pain but it doesn’t always work. The electricity method makes cows have fractured skulls and chickens have electrified baths while shackled upside down. Many survive the electricity, with almost all 5 senses still intact, as their bodies are falling apart.
