There is simply no way to use animals for such things without causing them severe harm and suffering. In addition to the obvious cruelty of force-breeding them, these animals are also subjected to horrifying and premature deaths. Standard killing methods include electrocution, suffocation and skinning alive — with economics always taking priority, to minimize costs and prevent “damage” to the skin or fur. Similarly, when it comes to animals used for food, there is also no way around the immense cruelty, harm and suffering involved. The cows, pigs, chickens, fishes and other animals used for food fight desperately (but with futility) until their last breath. We do not need to consume any animal products for our health (and we are, in fact, healthier avoiding them). We also have no justification inflicting such harm on animals for our most trivial of other whims (like “fashion”). Please consider the profound implications of your food and consumption choices, and go vegan to withdraw your support for the horrors and suffering our society so thoughtlessly visits upon animals. |
