I believe you’ll agree with me that if anyone buys into the false
notion that chickens and turkeys are somehow O.K. to eat, they couldn’t
be more mistaken!
It is absolutely mind-boggling that so much extreme sadism is allowed
in this country, and that the public pays for and swallows the lies as
they consume billions of horrendously tortured creatures of God who
share so many of our traits. Imagine the mammoth volume of pain, both
physical and emotional, these billions of abused animals feel. They
never, ever are allowed to have one split-second of peace!
“The USDA’s current interpretation of the term “livestock” to “not
include poultry” is totally without basis, as the HMSA [Humane Methods
of Slaughter Act, which is very poorly enforced] contains no definition
of the term or explicit exemption of poultry. Common sense, and even the
1958 edition of the Webster’s dictionary, categorizes “livestock” as
“domestic animals used or raised on a farm.” The USDA’s unfounded
interpretation of the term “livestock” essentially strips over 95% of
the land animals killed in the United States from protection under the
law. This translates into the over 9 billion birds killed in our
nation’s slaughterhouses having no federal protection from any of the
cruelty that Sam documented.”

We’re glad that over 20 years ago – by going vegan – we stopped
helping to keep such houses of horror in business!
