Think about this stuff next time you want to go to McDonald's for a cheeseburger, sausage mcmuffin or veal.........Veal at mcdonalds? haha
Facts about veal-
On small family farms unwanted male calves are sold to the veal industry and raised in dark sheds. Chained by their necks insde tiny stalls, they are unable to take even one step in any direction, turn around, or lie down comfortably. Motherless and alone they suffer from anemia, pneumonia and lameness and see the light of day only on their way to death.
Bacon on that cheeseburger?
Pigs are kept in stalls barely larger than their own bodies. And the lack of exercise causes pigs to become so weak that they can barely walk 50 years. And During their 15-week prednancies the sows are kept in the dark and fed only every 3rd day. While nursing they are held practically immobile in stalls with no room to turn around or to properly care for their babies. The little piggies are whisked away from their mamas and within a few weeks become bacon or breeders.
Each vegetarian saves an acre of trees every year!
