Don't kill babies. Be vegan.





Many forms of meat that people consume are actually dead babies. Young or baby animals are routinely slaughtered for human consumption. Furthermore, the practice of producing other animal products often results in killing babies.

Here are some examples:

Veal comes from dead calves, if people would stop drinking milk, naturally veal production would end.

The male chicks are useless, so they are killed as babies.

Piglets are taken away from their moms when they are 2-3 weeks old. Many die & those who survive are slaughtered by the time they are 6 months old.

Although Turkeys live for 10-20 years but they slaughtered when they are just 1 or 2 year old.

Chicken are slaughtered when they are just 3 weeks old. By the time, others who were spared earlier on are 14 weeks old, all of them are slaughtered.

Dairy cows are often slaughtered at about four years, sometimes while pregnant. Beef cattle are normally slaughtered between 9 and 30 months of age. The average lifespan for a cow or bull is about 7 years.

Lamb comes from baby sheep. US Lamb Grades: Baby Lamb or hothouse lamb (lambs slaughtered at between 6 and 8 weeks of age), Spring Lamb (between 3 and 5 months of age), Lamb (under one year of age), Mutton (Sheep over 1 year of age, typically slaughtered by 2 years of age). Sheep can live up to 15 years.

Babies should be protected. Babies should be allowed to grow up and live their lives.

Don't kill babies. Be vegan.
