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.

Israel Up in Arms About Cruelty!

The Israeli activist group Anonymous for Animal Rights has set up a hidden webcam that streams live video footage of the cruel conditions endured by egg-laying hens in factory farms (where most eggs actually come from). The owners of the egg farm haven’t found the camera yet, but you can imagine that they’re desperately trying to locate it.

Even though this stuff is hard to watch, it isn’t the only suffering that these chickens will endure. When their egg-laying wanes, these birds will be sent to slaughter. They will be hung upside down, and their legs will be slammed into metal shackles. Birds will then have their throats cut and be immersed in scalding-hot water to remove their feathers.

4 reasons why you should go vegetarian

1. Because eating meat is murder.

Everyone who eats animal products is responsible for the abuse and deaths of beings with lives and personalities of their own—beings who did not choose to be carved up and put on the dinner table.

2. Because eating meat is torture.

Animals raised for food are separated from their mothers shortly after birth and spend their brief, miserable lives crammed together by the thousands in factory farms, sometimes unable to move or to take a single step in any direction.

Animals raised for food are so stressed and fearful, factory farmers think that the only way to prevent them from fighting is through systematic mutilation. Chickens' sensitive beaks are cut off with a hot blade, and pigs' teeth and tails are cut off—all without the use of painkillers. On the killing floor, many animals are still conscious when they are skinned and cut into pieces.

3. Because eating meat is suicide.

4. Because eating meat just isn’t fair

The suffering of humans and the suffering of other animals are interconnected. By alleviating the suffering of other animals, we also help alleviate human suffering.

Simply put, the more meat you eat, the fewer people you feed. You can feed 20 vegetarians on the amount of land needed to feed one person on a meat-based diet.
