THIS PAGETe brothers o layer hensare macerated (ground up
alive) or suffocated hoursafer hatching.
Excess turkey and broilerchicksare killed at the hatcherybeore they even make it to thegrow out acility.
Te runt piglets o eachnew litter are killed. PAC(Pounding Against Concrete)is a common practice thatinvolves workers holding the
piglets by their hind legs andsmashing their heads against
the floor.
FACING PAGEMale babies and surplusemales born on dairy farmsare either killed shortly aferbirth, or sold to slaughterhousesto be processed as bob veal,or auctioned to veal producersto be slaughtered 6 months later.
Every new production cycle begins with discarding theunprofitable individuals.
From actory arms, to ree-range and organic arms, to
amily arms and backyard operations, the same rule o
profit applies: as soon as an animal is deemed unprofitable,
he or she is killed. Tis sorting process begins with each new
batch o newborns, and continues throughout the short lie
o each new flock or herd.
Egg production begins with the mass killing o roosters
(male chicks). Because they cant lay eggs, roosters are
useless to the egg producer and are killed shortly afer
hatching. Every year, 200 million male chicks are killed in
American hatcheries by suffocation or maceration (being
ground up alive). Virtually all hens used in all orms o egg
production, rom ree range, to large scale, to backyard
arms, come rom hatcheries that kill all o the male chicks.
Farmers who hatch their own chicks kill the roosters on the arm.

Whether raised on small, amily arms or actory arms,domesticated animals are routinely mutilated without
anesthetics. urkeys and egg laying henshave their sensi-
tive beaks amputated with a hot machine blade that cuts
through bone, cartilage and sof tissue, causing acute pain
and ofen death, and leaving the disfigured survivors with
lielong pain resembling human phantom limb pain.urkeys also have their toes chopped off.
Cattlehave their horns cut off and their testicles cut out o
their scrotums, and many are branded with sizzling-hot
irons, resulting in third-degree burns.
Pigs commonly have their teeth cut to the gum line, their
tails chopped off, and their ears notched, and some have
rings orced into their sensitive noses in order to perma-
nently prevent them rom rooting in the grass and dirt.
THIS PAGEDay-old layer hens
have their sensitivebeaks seared off witha hot blade.
Newly hatched turkeyshave their beaks andtoes amputated.
Calves are dehorned,many are branded withhot irons, and the malesare castrated.

As a result o selective breeding, armed animals live theirlives trapped in genetically tampered bodies whose planned
malunctioning is designed to increase the producers
prots while causing untold physical and psychological pain
to the animals whose hearts ail and whose bones break
under the morbid weight they are designed to gain at an
abnormally ast rate, and whose systems are ravaged by theorced overproduction o babies, eggs or milk.
Isolated rom the natural world to which they belonged or
millennia, armed animals are orced to live their short lives
in severely degraded physical and psychological environ-
ments that are ar different rom the ecosystems and
cultures rom which they historically derive.
Severed rom the intricate social structures that governedand guided their ree-living communities and conned,
Whether raised on
amily arms or
actory arms,
domesticated animals
are orced to remain
orever vulnerable and
dependent on the very
people who exploit and
kill them. Legally
regarded as property,
they are denied not
only the most basic
reedom to ever
become sel-governing
individuals, but the
most undamental
right to exist.

over and over again. Some wilt in silent grie. Teir daugh-
ters are raised in isolation to replace their own mothers in
the line o production. Some o their sons are killed imme-
diately. Many others are butchered as veal, 4-6 motherless
months later. When these rail orphans are dragged onto the
killing floor, they are still looking or their mothers, still
desperately needing her nurturing presence, especially at
that dark time when they are terrified and needing protec-
tion more than ever, in the midst o the terrible sights, and
sounds, and smells o death all around them, and, in their
despair, in their want or a shred o consolation and protec-
tion, many try to suckle the fingers o their killers.

When their egg productiondeclines, egg laying hens areconsidered spent and arediscarded by the cheapestmeans possible only to bereplaced with a new set o
younger, more productivevictims whose brothers havebeen killed at one day old.
FACING PAGEWhen their exhausted
bodies become unableto produce milk at a
profitable rate, thestill lactating mothercows and goats used
or dairy productionare sold to slaughter.
Many are pregnant.
When their ertilitydeclines, the young motherbirds, pigs, cows, sheep and
goats whose babies wereslaughtered for meat
are themselves killed.
All arms, large-scale and small-scale, discard the emalesused or breeding, eggs, and milk when their exhausted
bodies can no longer produce enough eggs, milk or babies
to be profitable.
Hens used for egg production are killed when their egg
laying rate declines, typically within two years. Ofen thebodies o spent hens are so ravaged that no one will buy
them and they are disposed o by the cheapest means
possiblethey are gassed, ground into ertilizer, decapitated
in their own backyards, or just sent to a landfill.
Teir parents,the captive birds who produce the ertilized
eggs required by hatcheries, are orced to mate, or are
artificially inseminated, over and over, until their bodies are
too damaged to be profitable and they are trucked to ahorriying slaughter.

Te cows and goatssubjected to the endless cycle o rape,
pregnancy, birth and bereavement known as milk produc-
tion, are shipped to slaughter as soon as their milk output
drops below the profitable mark and their exhausted bodies
are considered spent. Most o these young mothers are
barely entering adulthood. All are still lactating.
Many are pregnant.
Te mother pigs, cows, sheep and goatsorced to give lie
to babies meant to b e killed as meat, are sold to slaughter
when, afer several cycles o impregnation, pregnancy, birth,
and orced separation rom their young, their worn-out
bodies produce smaller litters, smaller babies, or miss a
scheduled birthing cycle. Tey are all young adults.
