What are some ways I can help farm animals?

if you want to help farm animals go vegan or vegetarian or you could get some volunteer work at a farm sanctuary :) sorry about the jerry springer rant below i just cant stand ignorance. like at least research the topic before answering!

@ jackie turn your brain on next time you answer, on what planet are they drugged before they are killed. and are you SERIOUSLY comparing animals to plants? maybe if you took a look at that "hippy" website you would actually have a clue about industrial agriculture and agribusiness. DON'T ANSWER QUESTION YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT OR ARE NOT WILLING TO LEARN ABOUT. your ignorance is astounding.

@ bryce Animal agriculture is the MAIN cause of deforestation, how can you not know that!! and go to a doctor and ask them about vegan nutrition before you make assumptions about starvation NO doctor would recommend you eat meat for your health. and as for the "food chain" intensive farming is not a food chain.

The desired procedure to kill livestock is with a captive bolt gun. Depending at the layout, this drives a spike into the mind, killing the cow immediately, or moves the skin of the cranium, gorgeous it earlier than its throat is slit. Pigs are first-rate killed utilising fuel, often CO2, that's almost always gift within the air. They're incredibly tough to manage and handy to pressure, and this manner, they on no account must be touched or limited. Ideally, the fuel effectively sends them to sleep earlier than they emerge as alarmed. I select to decapitate any animal small sufficient to take action. Recall that the guillotine of the French Revolution was once visible as an strengthen in humane execution. This is inconvenient in birds, in view that they must be limited after decapitation. Electricity is often a horrible thought, however I consider it is nonetheless used to kill chickens within the US. Drowning could also be a foul strategy to move. Some species will also be killed through slitting the throat (sheep and goats, however do not quote me on that) however others, like livestock, must no longer, in view that they have got additional arteries delivering the mind and don't instantly emerge as subconscious. Killing animals with golf equipment and iron bars will also be humane whilst performed skillfully, with adequate drive and particular intention. Seals, for illustration, have very big, skinny skulls, and are so complex to restrain that clubbing them particularly is the first-rate strategy to harvest them for meat and fur. No suffering-killers or sedatives can be utilized in animals meant for meat.

If they are on a farm strictly for meat purposes, they generally get checked over by agencies, and the killing of the animals is humane and not painful. There generally is no torture due to laws and regulations now, although it still exists in some parts of the world.

Farm ANIMALS? Don't buy factory farmed meat, but organic meat (raised on a farm) is raised where they are meant to be and fed what they are meant to eat and killed humanely.

That is my dog, that is a deer I killed, killed it humanely, I ate it, so did my dog, I place my dog higher, for one he is more intelligent, second he is MY dog, he is important to ME therefore he is more important in general. He is a carnivore, he depends upon meat to survive, as do I because I am unable to go on a vegetarian diet therefore I need meat. So, I killed the deer (HUMANELY) to provide meat for me and my family (dog included). The VALUE of life is what you VALUE it, deer have no real purpose besides food to me, but my dog is my best friend, he makes me happy and I have fun with him, he is so much to me therefore his value is high in my eyes.

Maybe you value the lives of those cows, but they are truly given a humane and painless death, from experience, I guarantee it!

Please, lets not get into PETA, it's a bunch of crap...

ETA: If I had a daughter she would be placed higher in importance, she would do the world more good that one useless deer, her purpose would be greater than ANY deer or cow....

Mmmmm Steak. We are top of the food chain if we can kill it we can eat it!

If everyone ate plants we would all die due to a) starvation b) we would have to clear forest to feed us or c) id kill everyone during a steak craving.

Contact the PeTA street team and they will let you know how you can help. You can also volunteer at farm sanctuary in rescue efforts.

EDIT

To "Don't lie to me"- Animals are never killed humanely even on organic free range farms. They are treated in the same cruel and horrific ways as they are on factory farms.

They are drugged before they are killed, and no I won't look at a hippy website and maybe nobody should kill plants

Edit: Ohh wow melanie the keyboard warrior, you wouldn't say that to my face nor do you have the guts to have your messaging open, you lil' coward.
