And now, 10 yrs later, nothing has improved...in fact, it has gotten worse.

This needs to stop!!! That is pure animal torture. Those poor just little babies dying to feed people that don't need to eat meat.

Espero que estén todavía 10 años en la cárcel o se salieron con la suya como siempre lo hacen muchos delincuentes?

I am omnivore, i will never stop being omnivore, but this is something that NEEDS TO STOP. How can we know how animals are being treated for the meat we consume?

[@nonavailable4000]

It will never stop as long as you "never stop being omnivore"

@@nonavailable4000 then yours is a lost cause m8, whole of humanity wont change their dietary habits no matter what, we need to protest and reform the way farm animals are treated, there is already mercyful ways of killing farm animals, with that 1 snap pistol im not sure what ammunition they use.. but there is still the HOW animals live before that happens.

It's a really complicated question. Nonavailable4000 is technically correct, the best way to ensure that you are not eating tortured animals is to not eat animals or animal products. But I understand that making a dramatic diet change is tough. It depends on what country you live in, but some countries have certifications that the animals are kept in more humane conditions. The issue with this is sometimes farms will receive certification but are not investigated afterward, so the bad practices come back. There is also nothing stopping a free-range animal from being abused either. Generally, the bigger the farm, the worse the conditions. Try to shop locally and support small businesses, it might be more expensive, but there is a reason why factory meat is so cheap (no money goes towards the animal's wellbeing). Also, as a rule of thumb, never trust what a company's website has to say. ALL of them say that they try their best to treat their animals well, but their proof is only staged photo-ops. Also be very wary of green-washing and humane-washing, like when companies will use stock photos of green fields in their advertising or say that their meat is "natural", this is all meaningless. The second best thing to not eating meat at all is to raise your own livestock. This is not possible for a lot of people, but it's technically the only way to ensure your food was happy when it was alive. (But I will also add, raising chickens myself, I could never bring myself to butcher them, so they are all still alive and happy... It seems like we are more ok with eating meat when we don't know the animals personally, which makes the concept of eating meat as a whole very strange. If you raised the meat you ate today from a baby and took care of it, would you be willing to end his life? If the answer is no, then why is it ok to let someone else do it for you?)

@@panzershrek7942 I agree with you here, making veganism law is very implausible, unfortunately, at this time. I think the easiest way to prevent this treatment through legislation is to require farms to run 24-hour surveillance cameras in their facilities and make the footage public, with a link to their camera footage printed on their packaging. This could be paid for using part of the billions of dollars in subsidies that we already give to the farming industry through our taxes. This would not only help to inform consumer behavior, but would also deter factory workers from abusing animals. Technically there should be nothing wrong with this, since farms like to promise that they are humane. But the reason why laws like this haven't passed is because every major farm knows that if the public saw what happens, then their sales would be hurt.
