What good websites are there about the cruel treatment of cattle, pigs, chicken, and fish?

Question

I'm working on becoming a vegetarian (not now but in a while). I have cut out fish, pork, and meat and am only eating chicken. I'm sure that if I read about the cruel methods used on all these animals, then I'd have a better chance of becoming a real vegetarian. Are there any informative sites on animal cruelty that I should know about?

AND if you STILL have trouble becoming vegetarian after that, read the book Skinny B*tch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. It made me cry so much for those animals and has really helped me become vegetarian along with looking at all of these sites.

Answer 2

I hate to tell you, but chickens are by far the worst treated animals on the planet, and factory farming conditions are atrocious. Chickens are stacked in cages 10 cages high-think about whats happening to the chicken on the bottom cage with the runoff of feces and urine from the upper cages-those chickens are so diseased at slaughter that the meat ends up in canned goods because its not fit to sell as fresh chicken. Go to http://factoryfarming.org or http://meetyourmeat.com for more info. It should help you make the transition. Worked for me!

Answer 3

hi. i think of it is because of the fact interior the united kingdom we've canines and cats as pets so human beings shudder on the belief of ingesting them. yet for some reason, human beings do not see cows, lambs or pigs because of the fact a similar. They see them as food. i'm a vegetarian so i don't consume lambs or pigs or chickens or cows or cats or canines. Lambs look somewhat lovable and that they are toddler sheep so i don't understand how omnivores can coo over a lamb and then flow and consume a lamb chop for lunch or tea. i don't comprehend it. Lambs are purely toddlers whilst they're slaughtered so as that they don't even get to be sure a brilliant number of the international. i won't be able to stand the belief of slaughtering cows or chickens the two. desire this helped.

Answer 4

Yes! Check out Compassion Over Killing (www.cok.net). They have features on the cruel treatment of chickens raised for their flesh and for their eggs.

I did a little poking around and came up with this:

http://www.vivausa.org/campaigns/chickens/index.html

http://www.upc-online.org/

UPC (United Poultry Concerns) is focused on chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese.

There are tons of websites and groups out there that will show you just how cruelly chickens are treated.

Good luck!
