While some farmers keep their livestock segregated in separate pens, other farms appear to keep all their animals mixed together, a potentially dangerous situation for the creatures.<\/p>\n
“I see all these animals standing around together,” a protester said. “Turkeys, ducks, pigs, reindeer, cats, sheep, goats… all in the same pen. There are even some turtles in there. That doesn’t seem safe. If these animals had any room to move, they could trample each other.”<\/p>\n
In addition to crowded conditions, protesters are concerned these animals may not be tended to properly or given the attention they need.<\/p>\n
“Most of these farmers only visit their farms once a day, when their crops are ready to be harvested. Then they quickly feed their animals, possibly pet them once, harvest their eggs, or in the case of the penguin, ice cubes, and they’re gone until the next day. It’s neglect, pure and simple. There’s no love on these farms, no concern for the well-being of these creatures. It’s all about profit.”<\/p>\n
“When a horse gives birth, it never even gets to care for its foal,” another protester said. “The farmer just lets his friends know there’s a baby horse available, and someone snaps it up. They call it adoption. I call it irresponsible.”<\/p>\n
“These farmers need to put the well-being of their animals above their desire for profit.”<\/p>\n
“This is a farm,” she added. “This isn’t a game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
