Millions of farm animals are exposed to extreme cruelty every year before they are slaughtered for consumption. The majority of them undergo painful processes like castration without anesthesia, live grinding for the egg industry, and unauthorized stunning before slaughter. These inhumane practices expose animals already bred as food to unnecessary suffering and pain.

If we don't do anything, these cruel practices will continue, and billions of animals will endure unnecessary suffering before they die. But if we demand humane treatment, we can ensure that farm animals are slaughtered with less pain and suffering. Other countries have already banned live grinding and require pain relief for castration—why can't we? A more humane system is within our grasp, but it requires action.

The public is awakening to the cruel conditions of factory farms. Large corporations and legislators already have begun conversations on making animal welfare better, but we need to demand change. It's time to take a stand. Sign this petition to demand humane treatment of farm animals, like requirement of anesthesia for painful procedures, banning live grinding, and humane stunning before slaughter.
