How do we treat animals in Australia?

Darren Cordeux, frontman of Kisschasy takes a look at how we treat animals in Australia. Most animals raised for food in this country come from factory farms, where it is legal to commit acts of extreme animal cruelty. Join Darren and AAY to end this madness: visit http://www.aay.org.au now!

if gorillas can live without meat why can't we do it

Also, even free range eggs are tied directly to animal cruelty. Free range farms source their chicks from the same breeder farms as cage and battery producers, the conditions in which the breeding hens are kept is disgraceful. Also, once a free range chicken's laying declines, guess what happens to it?

If you care about chickens, don't eat them or their eggs, period. Anything short of that only makes you feel better about yourself - it doesn't help the chickens.

This makes me sick I can't believe people do shit like this i also watched another video today and believe me it is truly horrific so why don't we turn Vegan? this can't keep happening.

I belive in hunting for food at least the animal has a life before it is killed and the person who hunts it isn't a hipocrite but any form of life should not be treated like this it just plain immorale.

Was the pig ever very nice to another man? It seems like it may have been a very nice pig, swine, as maybe it would occasionally give gifts to nurses or make appropriate phone calls on his best friend's birthday, or maybe the pig let an old woman have his seat on the bus one day, or maybe been very nice to others? If so, the pig was some sort of local hero who gave clothes to local starving children? The pig may have been nice even to one man, or woman, maybe by lighting a candle?

@soapywater Animals raised for food should be raised in a situation that does not elicit any fear or unnecessary suffering. They should be free to roam and display their natural behaviours (i.e. dustbaths, cooling in mud etc). At the time of slaughter, the animal should be rendered unconscious out of view of any others as this will cause distress and fear amongst them.

I personally do not believe that it is ethical to eat another being for food, but it should be humane if it is to happen.

@Daugaard36 Wow, there's a prime example of the meat industry's advertising right there.

[pantherz9103]

People are unaware, uneducated about the how their food is produced. It's easier than being informed and caring about something beside themselves. There's no moral justification for the cruelty to animals on factory farms, it occurs because people are all about making things easier and efficient for themselves, who cares about the suffering of other beings when life is all about looking after selfish interests right? humanity has a LONG way to go before we can say we are really evolved.

What they do to the animals is just horrible.

@Missrainbowmuffin Pretty much ya.

[Missrainbowmuffin]

@Hakidia So by your logic, if we dont mind if a cow is raised in a typical factory farm its fine to eat and accept it that way ??? Just wondering if this is what your saying
