Right now, millions of dogs, cats, cows, sheep, pigs, chimpanzees, rabbits, mice, and other animals are being abused in laboratories and on factory farms. The U.S. has no laws protecting these animals.
Common agricultural practices that, while common, are often shockingly cruel, and although some states include farm animals in at least some of their anti-cruelty laws, such laws are rarely enforced in favor of farm animals.
We need laws protecting factory, farm, and laboratory animals. These animals are tortured beyond belief, and the practices used are very cruel. No human would want the stuff done to these animals done to themselves.
