The same goes for pigs and cattle that are exploited and forced to live in substandard conditions. Chickens deserve to live humanely. That’s the least farmers can do. People seem to lose sight of the fact that these are sentient animals, not food machines! Congratulations to California for being so compassionate and leading the way.

In this film, we see farmers interacting with the animals they will eventually transform into food (chickens, pigs and cattle). One of the farmers interviewed says: "We give our pigs and our chickens many weeks of relatively happy life." This film provides an accurate portrayal of small-scale, non-intensive animal farming.

From the perspective of the land ethic a herd of cattle, sheep, or pigs is as much or more a ruinous blight on the landscape as a fleet of four-wheel drive off-road vehicles. But this is not true of cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens. They could, in other words, be retained only by a continuous counterforce, and only temporarily.

They are often crammed into trucks built for cattle and pigs and subjected to starvation, exposure and abuse. Many of these horses have been stolen or were surrendered to buyers who promised to care for them but who sell them to slaughter instead. The transport and subsequent slaughter of these animals is brutal.

Consider some of the victories: On November 5th, 2002, more than two and a half million Floridians voted "Yes" on Amendment 10 to amend the state constitution and prohibit the use of gestation crates , narrow metal cages where breeding pigs are kept for most of their lives. The full text of the amendment is available here.

Feeding grain to chickens, pigs and cows is even more inefficient, with 70 percent of grain grown in the United States going to animals raised for food. Besides depleting the ocean’s supply of fish for those animals normally feeding on them, the factory farming of cattle, pigs and chickens uses excessive water and pollutes our land.

If beef cattle who could not feel pain were developed, then it would be permissible to eat them. KBJ: Martin seems to think that people who abstain from meat on the ground that meat-eating causes pain would not eat “beef cattle” even if they could not feel pain. But the question remains.

This physical evidence of properly handled cattle would go a long way toward ensuring healthier meat while lifting the shared burden that comes with consigning millions of animals yearly to a terrifyingly cruel death.
