THE ISSUES OF 'MURDERING' THE MEAT

1. ANIMAL TESTING

Over 100 million animals are used globally inscientific research via methods most would consider inhumane. They're confined to small cages or chained and subjected to experiments such as food deprivation or being infected with diseases.

2. WHALING

More than 30,000 whales hav been killed despite a global ban on commercial whaling since 1986. Harpoons using explosive grenads rarely killed the whales on first blast. They're hoisted up the side of the ship by the tail with their blowhole underwater, leaving them to drown.

3. BATTERY HENS

In a cage of about 45cm to 50cm, five chickens are kept inside and never allowed outside again till they're slaughtered. Bearing in mind that the average wingspan of a chickenis 76cm, you can imagine how restrictive movement is.

4. FUR TRADE

More than 50 million animals are killed each year for fur via methods such asanally electrocutting and getting skinned alive.
