2. Cows
• Cows are branded, have their horns cut off, and are castrated all
without any form of anesthesia
• They have their throats slit and are skinned (a lot
of the times still conscious)
3. Turkeys
• To prevent the turkeys from killing each other, workers cut off a
portion of their beaks and toes (with out painkillers)
• At the slaughterhouse, turkeys are
boiled in a tank of water to remove
feathers. A lot of the times they
are still conscious through this
process
4. Chickens
• Hens are crammed into small cages where they spend most of their
life
• The cages are stacked on top of each other and rarely get cleaned,
so often times the hens will acquire an infection or disease
• Male chickens are thought to be useless to the egg industry
because they don’t lay eggs. So, many male chicks are suffocated in
trash bags at birth
5. Pigs
• Farmers will slam pigs heads on concrete floors to kill them if they think the
pig is useless
• The first process in the slaughter line for pigs is the shocker
• Later, pigs are hung upside down, have their
throats slit, and are boiled alive all while
still conscious
6. Pigs Continued
“There was a live hog in the pit. It hadn’t done anything wrong, wasn’t even
running around the pit. It was just alive. I took a three-foot chunk of pip two-inch
diameter pipe and I literally beat that hog to death. Couldn’t have been a two-
inch piece of solid bone left in its head.” (Eisnitz)
