Whats wrong with eating animals?

First of all, its not cool to the animals. Factory farms,the places where most animals come from before they wind up in Happy Meals or disguised as an Oscar Mayer wieners, are nightmares for animals. Second, its not good for you and your family to eat meat: Eating meat causes cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Third, factory farming is one of the worst polluters around.

             Old MacDonalds old-fashioned, peaceful farm is ancient history. On today's farms, little chicks beaks are sliced off with a hot blade (sometimes the blade takes parts of their faces or tongues, too, or the chick just dies of fright), piglets tails are chopped off, and their teeth are yanked out with pliers. The animals are given drugs to make them grow quickly, but often they grow so quickly that their hearts and legs cannot keep up and they have heart attacks or their legs become painfully deformed. At the slaughterhouse, animals are hung upside-down, cut, and bled to death often while wide awake. How many animals does this happen to every year? Some factory farms house thousands upon thousands of animals. In the United States alone, billions and billions (around 9 to be more precise) of animals are killed for food. To give you an idea of just how many that is, the worlds' human population is only 6 billion. Every year in the U.S., more than 25 billion animals are slaughtered for food. Raising animals on factory farms is cruel and ecologically devastating. Eating animals is bad for have their beaks seared off with a hot blade. Male cows and pigs are castrated without painkillers. All of these animals spend their brief lives in crowded and ammonia-filled conditionour health, leading to many diseases and illnesses, including heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Animals on factory farms are treated like machines. Within days of birth, for example, chickens, many of them so cramped that they can't even turn around or spread a wing. Many do not get a breath of fresh air until they are prodded and crammed onto trucks for a nightmarish ride to the slaughterhouse, often through weather extremes and without food or water. The animals are hung upside down and their throats are sliced open, often while they're fully conscious...

Doesn't that make you want to go to Mickey D's and get a great Happy Meal?!

I got some complaint feedback about this section. I did not directly say that you will die if you eat meat, but the risk is higher. Not eating meat is just a choice, and it does not have to be your choice, but that is up to you to decide.
