" That's Why We Don't Eat Animals: A Book About Vegans, Vegetarians, and All Living Things ," written and illustrated by Ruby Roth, has gorgeous and haunting illustrations. And it gently tells the story of why we shouldn't eat factory farmedanimals. Because if there's one of those places, can we eat those animals?"
Neither do they seem as painfully out-of-place in the wild as an escaped “exotic” cage-bird or farmanimal like the Budgerigar or Red Junglefowl – and they’re generally more likely to fare well on their own. The same can’t really be said of a confusing Orange Bishop or gaudy Mandarin Duck loose in a city park.

Beef cattle are raised in nearly every California county. The state also hosts 1.84 million dairy cows, according to information compiled by the California Beef Council. The sale of cattle and calves was a $1.82-billion billion industry in California 2008 and fifth among the state’s top 20 commodities.
Using their own numbers, we calculated conservatively that (they) raised the price of milk over a seven-year period by $10 billion," Berman said. Berman said the milk producers called it "dairy herd retirement", but he insists it was a way to cheat consumers and line their own pockets.
Hi Keith, Below is a calendar listing for Farm Sanctuary's annual Country Hoe Down at our Orland, California Shelter. We would be very appreciative if you would please list and help us raise awareness about this inspirational and educational event for farmanimal advocates.
A column entitled "Ag Industry Threatened by Animal Rights" appeared in today's High Plains/Midwest Ag Journal [ HPMAJ ]. The column, which you can read here , is a call to arms to factory farmers to fight back against those individuals and organizations working to protect farmanimals from the abuses inherent in factory farms.
Keith, Farm Sanctuary, the nation's leading farmanimal protection organization, is extremely close to reaching our goal of collecting 10,000 signatures on our "Truth Behind Labels" petition to the USDA to tell them their "naturally raised" label is not natural. We're currently at 9,556 signatures—96% of the way there!
To the Editor: I appreciate Nicolette Hahn Niman’s efforts in raising awareness about the conditions in which pigs are raised (“ Pig Out ,” Op-Ed, March 14), but I was struck by her comment that it is incumbent on us to ensure that animals have decent lives because we ask them to make the ultimate sacrifice for us.
A decision not to eat dogs has nothing to do with our inherent hypocrisy, but with our relationship to different animals. Dogs were bred to be companion animals; pigs and cows are raised as food. However, I agree with Mr. Foer that factory farming has to go. We carnivores have to become more benevolent.
But the method she advocates for reaching those goals—raising grass-eating, pasture-foraging farmanimals—would appear to be notoriously difficult to reproduce on a scale large enough to harvest enough meat, at a reasonable cost, for all the people wanting to eat meat in this country, let alone the world.
I’ve really been wracking my brain because for me releasing is very traumatic,” said Cara Petricca, with Bluebird FarmAnimal Sanctuary in Cheshire, MA. I still think about and worry about so many of the animals I’ve worked with. I raised them, banded them and released them back to their colony site that summer.

In " Food for the Soul ," Kristof once again yearns for the farm of his childhood which, for him, had "soul." What that means is that it wasn't a factory-farm operation. The animals were still bred and raised for slaughter, but evidently in some kind of soulful way we don't really hear about.
They are a commensal species, meaning that they are a wild animal that lives in close association with humans, not as a pet or as a farmanimal but more like a parasite, to the extent that it is hard to find them in truely wild settings, and it is hard to find human settlements without them.
In 2005, a survey commissioned by the International Fund for Animal Welfare showed that the Chinese are similar to Americans in their concern for animals. Wayne Pacelle President and Chief Executive, Humane Society of the United States Washington, Aug. 16, 2007
Animalsraised for food suffer miserably. The overwhelming passage in November of Proposition 2 in California, which banned tight confinement of many of the animalsraised for food, is a fine example of the power of publicity to educate people about the atrocities we commit to those animals who have no voice of their own.
There is also little dispute concerning the following premise: (4) The animals that become that meat are reared in ways that subject them to intense pain and suffering for much of their lives. It is not in dispute that, in modern factory farms, animals are raised in massively overcrowded, unnatural warehouses.
All evidence points to factory farms. Factory farms are concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) where animals are raised intensively and permanently confined in warehouses and sheds. are fed to farmanimals. Nearly 70 percent of all antibiotics sold in the U.S. We've seen this with E.
In fact, a whole lot of semi-vegans can do much more for animals than the tiny number of people who are willing to give up all animal products and scrupulously read labels. Farmanimals also benefit from the humane farming movement, even if the animal welfare changes it effects are not all that we should hope and work for.
