Why? #1 point, cruelty Well, first of all, About 500 million land animals now in the Thailand are raised for dairy, meat and eggs each year and they all got killed in more than 400 slaughterhouses from the factory farming that are exist around the country.
Gathering up the dead chickens, the farmer piles them to dispose of the bodies. She has to do this every day because many of the chickens’ bodies can’t handle the massive growth. ….. There is a real message in the film that animals should not be treated as machines or production units, but are, in the words of Joel Salatin, “critters”.

Research shows approximately a hundred million animals were killed each year, and 95% of the animals had suffered animal testing, Animal testing must stop to prevent numerous number of animals being abused and killed.

Hens have even been proven to navigate extreme obstacle courses to get back to their nests; by depriving them of that many go crazy. Naturally chickens work well in groups of 10-90 but when over 10000 chickens are crammed into a space less than 1 by 1 kilometres the natural pecking order is disrupted and the chickens cannot establish any social hierarchy, in the confusion and frustration the chickens peck and attack each other, this give the chicken farmers “reasonable” cause to de-beak the chickens. De-Beaking is a cruel process in which two thirds of the birds beak is removed, unlike finger nails their beaks contain nerve clusters, and the birds feel immense pain, many have trouble eating because of it and continue to feel pain throughout their life. The hens keep in these cages have nothing to scratch, there have been cases where the claws have grown so long they wrap around the cage wire, preventing the hen from accessing food or water. The battery farms also have artificial lights on special timers, which are designed to induce the hens into a 24 hours laying time, this put extreme stress on the poor bird’s body,
According to Mayra Calvani in her journal in World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) mentioned that in Latin America and Europe, around 250,000 bulls die per year due to tortured and killed for entertainment purpose especially in bullfighting.

Venezuela’s prison La Sabeneta is one of the worst prisons due to that they have one guard to every 150 inmates.

In humans DDT can cause breast cancer, vomiting, headaches and possibly death. In birds the DDT causes a thinning in their offspring’s eggs. This lack of structure for the eggs makes it impossible for the baby bird to survive for very long in the egg. This is why Rachel Carson’s book is titled Silent Spring. The birds born every spring fill the air with chirping noises but if none of the birds survive past the egg spring will be silent and birdless.
