Closed Make factory farming a criminal offence!

Closed on

Every year millions of animals are subject to intense animal cruelty. Cows have their tails cut off and their throats cut without any anisthetic. Pigs live in cages no bigger than their own size and chickens are hung by their fragile legs and their throats cut open while still conscious.

Humans are made to eat meat. The protein is an essential part of the human diet but animals should be bred and killed humanely. This petition is to make factory farming illegal and give animals a happy living life before they are humanely killed for human consumption
