thanksgiving! hooray!

ok, meat tastes good. we are humans, of course it does, who doesn't like a cheeseburger, or any of that other stuff? 

but if you are a human, you have a heart, and if you are smart and educated about what you put in your mouth, you would know that animals get treated horribly and put in the worse conditions before they get slabbed on your plate.

its not wrong to eat meat, but it is wrong to eat meat in the country we live in today.

native americans ate meat, but highly respected the animal they killed, they used every single part of that dead animal for some purpose.

 the reason why these animals are treated like this is because of high demand for meat, so we mass produce animals and treat them like products, not creatures, not animals like us who can feel pain and fear.

thanksgiving is coming up, more than 72 million turkeys are killed every year for holidays.

PETA does a lot of undercover investigations, and this year they went into Aviagen factory farms the worlds "leading poultry breader".... during this investigation they saw the following offenses....


----Employees stomped on turkeys' heads, punched turkeys, hit them on the head with a can of spray paint and pliers, and struck turkeys' heads against metal scaffolding.

----Men shoved feces and feed into turkeys' mouths and held turkeys' heads under water. Another bragged about jamming a broom stick 2 feet down a turkey's throat.

---A supervisor said he saw workers kill 450 turkeys with 2-by-4s.

---One man said he saw a coworker fatally inject turkey semen and sulfuric acid into turkeys' heads.

watch the video of these actions HERE 

would you do this to an animal? most likely not. by eating these turkeys, you are condoning this violence.

as humans, we are the smartest animals and we control how our animals and earth are treated. and as humans, we are the biggest destroyers of our earth, and don't care about our other animal friends unless they are furry and cute.
