Farm Animals

So glad to have found your site....as a retired turkey farmer I can speak for the treatment of turkey egg laying hens and toms. If these animals are mistreated, the profit would disappear as they would not produce fertile hatching eggs. I do believe there could be a more humane method of transporting the birds to market, but I have no ideas on just what could be employed as farm to market is sometimes hundreds of miles....the best that we could do was load and haul at night so they were sleeping, however, that did not prevent them from sitting many hours in the hot sun after they arrived at the processing plant. Perhaps better scheduling would help.
Dogs and Cats versus Farm Animals

It's sad to see how little money farm animal charities take in compared to philanthropies that focus mostly on dogs and cats. Yet since we slaughter over 10 billion farm animals in the U.S. each year, it seems they are the creatures most in need of protection.

This charity is a great way to help them, you've seen the awful videos. They have a 4 star rating, very efficient.

Death on a Factory Farm

I am so glad that HFA made the HBO documentary Death on a Factory Farm. It convinced me that monsters will continue to abuse animals as long as they can make money, so if we dont want to see animals abused, we better bite the bullet and QUIT EATING THEM.
