The Inhuman Behavior of Humans to Animals

Humanity is the characteristic that should make the humans distinct from other living species and for that reason we should seriously address it.

Let’s start our discussion by mentioning some human beliefes:

• God created animals to be used for food (Ref. 1, Ref. 2),
• animals exist just as objects without soul, and therefore it does not matter if we kill them or not (Ref. 3, Ref. 4, Ref. 5),
• animals do not have emotions (Ref. 3, Ref. 6),
• animals do not feel pain etc.(see note)

All the above are false, and they exist because of our ignorance of facts and truths  and are human fabrications for satisfying our economic interests and other reasons.

Can you imagine their suffering and their horror before and during their killing process?

The treatment of animals during their short lives while waiting to be slaughtered or while they used for other purposes?

As most of you know, the animals which are used by us, live under unbelievably inhumane conditions, and are exploited badly while waiting to be killed. They are scared, feel helpless, and believe it or not they understand everything, but they can’t talk and react to what we are doing to them.

Farm raised animals spend their short lives in overcrowded, and filthy environments. They are so badly cramped that they can’t even turn around. In addition, they are pumped up daily with approved (as safe) drugs such as antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, and other chemical substances.

Few examples of how farmed animals are treated will convince you that humans behave truly inhumanely to animals.

First, let me talk about chicken. In order to make harvesting easier, they are crammed into tiny cages one on the top of the other, and are subjected to 24 hour artificial lighting. Within days of birth, chicken have their beaks seared off with a hot blade, and they are even fed their own waste. Finally, they are hung upside down and their throats are sliced open, often while they’re fully conscious. 

Similarly, cows are also confined into overcrowded, dusty feedlots for months before they are transported to slaughterhouses. They have their horns sliced off, they are branded (which causes excruciating third-degree burns), and the males are castrated. Unfortunately, all these are done without using painkillers. Then, they are shipped without food or water to the slaughter houses, where a metal rod is shot through their brains, then they are hung upside-down and have their throats slit. Because line speeds are so fast, many of the animals are still conscious throughout the process.

Other animals, such as donkeys, horses, and elephants (some of them old and with medical problems) are frequently used to carry excessive loads for great distances and they are punished or killed, if they become slow. For your information, donkeys, and horses are also killed for their meat  (Ref. 7).

For all accounts, it is inexcusable and shameful to treat these poor creatures so unfairly while we are exploiting them. Do not ignore that animals have feelings and soul (Ref. 3, Ref. 4, Ref. 6), they feel pain, and fear, and they are suffering much like us, and also (if you believe in GOD or a superpower) they are GOD’s creations too.

It should be clear to everybody, that when we kill people or animals we are committing an irreversible act and a sin, and we disrespect the creations of GOD (or superpower). As a result of all these inhuman acts, we pay the consequences with the occurrence of serious health problems (Ref. 7).

In order for anyone to get an idea of the (most likely) unknown to you shameful and barbaric inhuman ways that humans use to kill animals/fish, go to the MENU, then go to  Reference Tables and click on Killing methods of land animals and fish used by humans.

At this point, we wish to mention that according to the USA Consumers Report (Ref. 8), of all animals killed more than 40% is wasted. This fact is unacceptable for two reasons: First, the existance of famine worldwide, and second because of the continuous drama that is going on in the lives of animals.
