Vegans
believe killing is not justified
Ultimately, humans take away life. Other
animals do not ‘give up their life’ as some people believe – they have not
given consent to be slaughtered. In over 95% of cases they are killed
prematurely:
•
Cows, for example, could live to well over 20 years of age, while on 'dairy'
farms they are usually shot between 3-4 years of age when milk production is no
longer considered 'profitable'. Cows bred for 'beef' meat are killed sooner.
• Broiler chicks are just 6 weeks old and
grown too rapidly to sustain their own weight and heart when they are killed.
Chickens could live to 10 years old.
• Pigs are slaughtered when they have reached
a certain weight, which will be later in organic systems than in intensive
farms, but they are typically killed between 4-6 months of age, while they
could reach 15 years.
• Sheep can also live to 15 years but
depending on whether they are slaughtered as lambs or later, they are shot and
bled between 3-10 months of age.
• Every week in the UK 3,000 male calves are
killed shortly after birth, usually within days, and over 40 million day-old
chicks are killed each year, including those from organic farms. Males do not
secrete bodily fluids destined for offspring (cow's milk), or lay eggs like
hens do. Calves are either shot or exported alive to mainland European countries
where they are kept in small pens to produce veal flesh - deprived of their
mothers and their natural food (milk).
