Teens Take Action

Most wool comes from Australia, and the most commonly used sheep are Merinos. Merinos are known to be bred specifically for overly wrinkly skin, which means more wool per sheep.

This overdose of wool on a sheep may cause the sheep to collapse and even die from over heat exhaustion, and the wrinkles collect urine and moisture. Flies become attracted to the moisture, which causes the flies to lay eggs in the folds of skin, and the hatched maggots can eat thin sheep alive.

To prevent this, Australian farmers perform a task known as “mulesing”,  in which the farmers force live sheep onto their backs, restrain their legs between metal bars to keep them from moving, and without pain killers, they carve huge chunks of skin off of the animals backsides. This is an attempt to create smoother skin on the sheep that wont collect moisture, but the exposed, bloody wound can often cause an infection.

Although it is fast and easy, mulesing the sheep is not the only option. To avoid infection and pain, the farmers could simply just spray wash the sheep, put them on a special diet, or they could breed sheep that are more suited for the Australian climate.

When the sheep age and are no longer able to produce wool, the farmers have no more use for them, so they are send to the slaughterhouse. Each year, at least 4 million sheep experience the cruelty of live export from Australia to the Middle East aboard filthy, horrible- smelling ships. The ship is so overcrowded, many sheep are trampled to death or severely injured and unable to move, causing them to starve to death. The poor sheep can be stuck on these overcrowded ships for weeks, experiencing any kinds of weather conditions. Many sheep are thrown overboard to be eaten by sharks, but these sheep are the lucky ones.

When the survivors arrive, they are dragged off the ships by their hands and legs, and are thrown carelessly into the backs of trucks and cars. Eventually, most of their throats are cut while they are still alive and fully conscious. Sometimes, they first slice off the sheep legs and arms so they are unable to fight the torture. Other sheep are sent to homes to be slaughtered individually.

Stop this torture! Don’t buy wool! Touch the hearts of others and put an end to this!

Image being born without ever getting to feel the sun on ur back? Never being about to breath fresh air? Never being able to feel FREE?

As horrible and unimaginable as this sounds, this is happening to over 8 million chickens each year just to keep KFC in business!

First, the chickens are crammed into overcrowded, waste- filled factories. It is so overcroweded birds are often crushed to death or get broken bones. The chickens necks are often sore from the dirty air which causes trouble breathing.

The chickens are then bred and drugged to make the grow so large often thier legs break and they are unable to walk.

To avoid being bitten, the chickens beaks are often chopped off, which often causes them to die from the sock of pain. Without beaks, it is also very difficult for them to eat, so they often starve to death.

When it’s time for slaughtery, the chickens are hung upside down by there feet with rough metal chains (this often causes broken legs as well). the chickens are then left there hang only to get there necks slices off while they are still fully concious. If the chickens aren’t fortunate enough to go through this process, they are tossed into tanks of scalding hot water, for them to burn alive.

One day, the workers of the factory were caught playing a game of throwing chickens against the walls, 144 chickens were killed in 7 minutes! What heartless people would do such a thing just for amusement?

NOTHING deserves to be treated this way!!! If you want to put an end to this, stop buying from KFC, spread this word to EVERYONE!!!

Did you know, dolphins are the smartest creatures alive?

Dolphins have to be conscious to breath, so they cannot fall into a deep sleep or they will suffocate. In this case, dolphins have figured out how to only allow half of their brain to sleep, while the other one stays awake!

Dolphins are also able to look into a mirror and identify and study the parts on their own body!

Dolphins are as well the only creatures besides humans that have been able to create their own language!

Obviously, dolphins are very smart creatures, so why would anyone want to hurt them?

Did you know, over 3,000 dolphins are being killed by fisherman each year? Is this fair? Did they do anything wrong? I think the answers are obvious, so how could people do this?

Every year, young kids from Denmark go to the beach and kill Risso dolphins. This type of dolphin is very playful and wants to harm to a human just curiosity. These kids slaughtering is their way of proving their an adult.

They kill several more of these innocent creatures to showoff their adulthood. All this really is is just a cruel murder!

Instead of the dolphin being put out of it’s misery right away, it is first tortured to death. They are cut and stabbed several times in different places with large hooks, crying in pain. While the baby dolphins have to witness there parents being tortured to death!

How can people be so cruel? These animals are sweet, loving, and smart! They deserve better!

Stand up for what you believe in! End this madness!

Mcdonalds may be known for it’s tasty chicken, but do you know how much these poor chickens suffer just for you to have a tasty meal?

Chickens are carried to factorys in tiny cages stuffed with so many chickens they can barely move and many often die or get broken bones from being smashed or stepped on. They are then dumped off at the factory and hung by their feet with metal chains. These chains can cause broken bones, extreme bruises, ect. The workers abuse the live birds and have their throats cut off alive. The workers often miss the birds necks, causing painful injuries in other areas. Many of the birds are forced into scalding- hot water while conscious and able to feel the pain.

This process would be illegal if the victims were dogs, cats, or even pigs or cows. Yet, chickens are allowed to go through this pain and torture legally!

This chicken was found dead, after being burned alive in scalding- hot water.

Help put an end to this tragedy!  Spread the word! Stop eating at McDonalds!
