Both of these animals feel joy and fear. What makes one more deserving of our compassion than the other?

Piglet thumping is a widespread practice that kills weak or injured piglets. It’s a brutal method—delivering blunt force trauma to end a life—that comes with a great risk of error and inconsistency. Will you add your name against this practice? thl.link/48932vB

Day-old chicks, sorted and thrown into crates like they're nothing more than vegetables. In the egg industry, the female chicks are debeaked, while male chicks are killed by asphyxiation or maceration since they don't lay eggs.

It sounds too horrible to be true: Weak, sick, or injured piglets are killed by grabbing them by the hind legs and smashing them against concrete walls or floors. This practice is called piglet thumping, and it's legal and widespread on pig farms.

For every cow producing milk, there's a baby that was ripped away from her. Unwanted calves are shot. Calves that will grow up to be exploited for milk or slaughtered for beef or veal are kept in solitary pens. Many die of neglect.

Ammonia from the feces of thousands of chickens stings their eyes and inflames their skin. Their body aches from their muscles growing too big, too fast. Some among them lie dead or dying from the squalid conditions.

The dairy industry impregnates cows just to exploit their motherhood for milk. A few "lucky" calves are allowed to stay with their moms, but "anti-suckling devices" are placed in their noses to stop them from drinking the milk the farm wants to sell 💔

This cow had gone through year after year of pregnancy, birth, and traumatic separation from her newborn calves. Once her milk production dropped and her body could no longer be exploited for profit, she was designated as a "cull" and sent to auction.
