Animal Abuse 

Here are some of the facts about the hens and chickens.

1: Chickens can communicate to their mothers if they are cold before hatching.

2: Hens and chickens are very vocal. There are at least 24 type of chicken noises which are known today but there can be possibly as many as 30 type of noises. Their calls are about everything from egg laying, to egg songs to resting spot to giving alarms of potential danger.

3: A chicken typically lives between five to eight years. A factory farm chicken lives for about 47 days before it is slaughtered.

When hens are raised in the factory farm they cannot engage in their natural nesting behavior. They make different long high pitched noises which they normally do not make in their natural environment. Hens take mud bath to remove excess oil, external parasites such as lice and mites. They like to fluff up their feathers and find a fine dirty place. When being raised in the factory farm let alone the dust bath they do not have the freedom to even move.

Cows are social animal. They have close relationship with each other. In the industrial factory farm they live miserable lives. In their natural environment cows like to eat the grass-there is a bacteria in the grass which is the food source for their real meal. Cows have multiple stomachs. Their gastric system turns the fiber into energy by breaking down the grass. Cows eat large amount of the grass and then find a place to lay down and chew the grass that they had eaten. Cows in the factory farm are locked indoors or in the feedlots where there is no sight of the grass. The baby calves are separated from their mothers shortly after they are born. The most common type of abuse the cows face are locked restricted cages, poor nutrition and being forced to overproduce milk.

Pigs love to interact with each other and to create a close relationship with each other. The mother pig stays with its offspring until it reaches maturity. In the factory farm the pigs are raised in small crates where they can barely move. Once a pregnant mother gives birth to the offspring, it is taken away and the mother is impregnated again and the cycle continues. The animal shows its anxiety by displaying neurotic behavior such as waving their head and tail back and forth.
