6. Factory Farms

7. On today’s factory farms, animals are crammed by the thousands into filthy, windowless sheds and stuffed into wire cages, metal crates.
These animals will never raise their families, play, build nests, or do anything that is natural and important to them.
Most animals will never see the sun or breathe fresh air until the day they’re loaded onto trucks headed for slaughterhouses.

8. Artificial Insemination: Due to genetic manipulation, humans have bred domestic turkeys into deformed beings who can no longer reproduce naturally, resulting in a cruel system of forced masturbation of male turkeys and rape of female birds.

11. Pink Drinks and Candies
Cochineal, natural red 4, crimson lake, carmine, carminic acid is what gives many drinks and candies their distinctive red/pink color.
Wine coolers, grapefruit juices, and more are colored using crushed bugs. The female cochineal insect is boiled alive or exposed to sunlight, steamed, or baked, it produces a range of reddish tints. It takes approximately 70,000 insects to make one pound of dye.

12. Carmine is obtained from female cochineal insects
Carmine is obtained from female cochineal insects.  The bugs are boiled alive and then their abdomen is extracted and cooked to obtain a red substance used in foods.

13. Shellac is obtained by refining the secretions of the Kerria lacca insects.  It takes approximately 300,000 bugs to produce a one-kilogram sack of shellac.
Shellac is used to make furniture polishing and wood finishing.  It is used in almost every industry, including food and pharmaceutical processing.  
The same product that is utilized for coating furniture is used also for coating fruits, vegetables, candies, snacks, and pastries, to make them look fresher and more appealing.

14. Wine & Beer
If you drink wine and beer you drink the dried, ground-up bladders of fish. Isinglass is an enzyme derived from fish bladders and is used to clarify and remove impurities from wine and beer. Small amounts of isinglass remain in the products when finished.

15. Flu Vaccine
Fertilized chicken eggs in the embryonic phase are used to cultivate the inactivated flu virus that is injected into millions of people every year.

17. Animal blood enzyme used to glue food

Used by meat producers and restaurants to "glue" together scraps of meat to create one large piece.

18. Glue is made from animal blood

33. Fur and Anal Electrocution
In Canada, over 3 million animals are killed each year for their fur. In fur farms, wild, roaming animals like mink, foxes and raccoon are forced to spend their entire lives in tiny wire cages,
fur farmers genitally or anally electrocute animals so they won’t damage the pelts) could get you into trouble.

35. Cheese:
Dairy products are produced by impregnating cows, and then collecting the milk that is intended for their calves. Calves are formula-fed; males are used for veal, which means they are slaughtered very young, some as early as a few days old.
A cow’s natural lifespan is about 25 years. “Spent” dairy cows are killed at about 4-5 years old.
Milk is a bodily secretion of cow. Rennet is a coagulating product that is used to separate milk curds from milk. Rennet is found in the cow stomachs.

36. This is what eggs are!

37. EACH DAY in the US, 700,000 male chicks are tossed into the giant grinders or gassed.
Why?!

38. Eggs:
Even organic, free-range egg farms acquire egg-laying hens from chick “factories” where male chicks, are killed by drowning or suffocation.
A chicken’s natural lifespan is about 6-12 years. The egg production of egg-laying hens peaks at about 2-3 years, (largely due to living conditions). At this point, they are deemed “spent” and sent to the slaughterhouse.
In other words, when we eat eggs, we contribute to the early death of chickens.
