Since 
Wishful ThinkingWhen we think of cattle, or cows, or calves, we picture a calf like Norman, above... ...or Hugo eating some hay...  ...or Opie relaxing in a snow-covered pasture...  ...or these cattle enjoying the pastureland at Farm Sanctuary What can I do?Please Help Our Efforts See the movie Cow Murder See the movie Branding and Tagging Dairy Cows See the movie 4000 Cows Are Slaughtered Per Hour How can I help stop the pain and suffering?Go Vegan!(1) Don't eat animals or their by-products (meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, cheese, milk). (2) Don't wear or use animal products (fur, fur trim, leather, skins, wool, silk). (3) Tell others why you have made this compassionate choice. Always be peaceful and polite when expressing your feelings. Speak out against all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty. Refer others to our website so they can see for themselves. Write letters to editors of newspapers, to broadcasters, and to elected officials. - Animals deserve the legal rights not to be used, exploited, and destroyed by humans. Be a believable witness! Give only to compassionate and cruelty-free organizations. (1) Charities that do not test on animals or use animals for research. (2) Environmental organizations that don't believe in hunting. (3) Before you give, check carefully to see where their money goes. (4) Don't be a "meanie greenie. Buy only cruelty-free makeup, toiletries, and household products. (1) Products that contain no animal by-products or ingredients. (2) Products that are not tested on animals. (3) Educate yourself. Always adopt companion animals. Do not buy them from pet shops or breeders. Always spay and neuter companion animals. Prevent over-population. Support only cruelty-free entertainment with no animal acts, rodeos, or racing. Speak out against blood sports (hunting, fishing, trapping, bull fighting and other animal fighting). Always set the example for compassionate and peaceful living. Educate yourself. Keep improving. Ask others to join you in your efforts. For more information on what you can do to help animals, please see: Animal Rights Activism Video Library |
Reality

(Cattle - Dairy - 01) This is a photo of
an intensive dry-lot dairy operation, where the cows live in manure-laden
holding pens. The food is brought to them. They have no opportunity to graze
in a pasture. Apparently, some humans think they can "improve" on God's way
of feeding cattle. |
(Cattle - Dairy - 02) This photo was taken inside a "milking parlor"
where cows are milked and fed a high energy diet. Up until recently, this
food contained the processed remains of other animals, which led to mad cow
disease. God designed cattle to eat only plant foods, but some humans
thought they knew better. |
(Cattle - Dairy - 03) These cows are
hooked up to electric milking machines. This happens two or three times a
day, and many cows are "pushed" to produce 10 times more milk than is
natural. This is an example of how the love of money leads to all sorts of
evil (1 Timothy 6:10). |
(Cattle - Dairy - 04) This is a closer
view of a cow hooked up to an electric milking machine. In order for cows to
produce milk, they have to be kept pregnant. |
(Cattle - Dairy - 05) This is an
overcrowded intensive factory farming dairy operation, where the cows are
forced to lie down in their own feces. This means that the feces get on the
cows' udders, and if not properly cleaned before milking, some of the feces
and bacteria get into the milk. |
(Cattle - Dairy - 06) This cow has some
form of udder ailment, which appears to be quite common in the dairy
industry. According to our sources, farmers continue to milk cows like this
one, and most of their milk is considered drinkable. We can only imagine how
painful this must be. |
(Cattle - Dairy - 07) Even on farms where
cows are permitted to graze in the pasture, they are not always properly
cared for. Note the hugely distended udder, which is obviously quite
painful. |
(Cattle - Dairy - 08) The udder on this
cow is so distended that she has to spread her legs apart, and she even
defecates on her swollen udder because it extends so far to the rear. We
also surmise that her pain is so great that she can't even lie down, as the
other cow is doing. If farming causes animals to suffer, then we shouldn't
be farming them. |
(Cattle - Dairy - 09) It is hard to
imagine how this farmer can avoid getting some of the feces and bacteria
coating this cow from getting into the milk. |
(Cattle - Dairy - 10) This is Opie (whose
picture is also in the left column) when he was left for dead at a New York
stockyard. Opie's pregnant mother was taken to the stockyard and gave birth
there. In this photo, Opie is only a few hours old, still wet from birth.
His temperature was too low to read on the thermometer. Opie was rescued and
taken to Farm Sanctuary, but others are left to die. |
(Cattle - Veal - 01) Since cows cannot
produce milk unless they have calves every year, approximately one half will
be males, and males don't produce milk. Most of the male calves are taken
away from their mothers in two or three days and chained in crates so they
cannot move and exercise. Then at approximately four months of age they are
killed to satisfy the human lust for veal. |
(Cattle - Veal - 02) These gentle living
souls are deprived of their mothers' love. God created cattle to have an
intense bond between a mother and her child, just as He did with us; and by
forcibly breaking this bond, humans cause great mourning and feelings of
loss. This is evil! Every person who eats veal contributes to this evil. |
(Cattle - Veal - 03) These calves are
confined in crates that are only two feet wide, so that the calves can
barely move, in order to prevent the development of any muscle tone that
might toughen their flesh. Furthermore, God brought every animal He created
to Adam to give it a name, just as we give names to our children and our
companion animals. But these calves are deprived of that compassionate
gesture; they are given numbers only. |
(Cattle - Veal - 04) This is a veal shed
where the calves are chained by the neck to keep them from moving out of
their short-crates. They have only enough slack in the chain to allow them
to lie down and stand up. Only humans can devise such evil ways to treat
someone else's children. |
(Cattle - Veal - 05) Why do factory
farming operations confine millions of calves this way every year? They do
it for money: so that the farmers make money and those who eat veal can buy
it for less money. This is why the Bible tells us that the love of money is
the root of all sorts of evil (1 Timothy 6:10), so that we would turn away
from such evil, as evidenced by this photo, and not compound it. |
(Cattle - Veal - 06) By chaining the
calf's neck to the front of the crate, the factory farmers prevent the
calves from doing little more than lying down and turning their heads to
look back at the photographer in hope that he or she will free them from
their torment. |
(Cattle - Veal - 07) This is another look
at the rear of the veal stalls. Note how the calves are forced to lie down
in their own feces. Why do so many humans enjoy eating someone else's
babies? If they enjoy eating the veal, then they must also enjoy having the
calves tormented. To us, this is sadistic! |
(Cattle - Veal - 08) It's no wonder that
this calf has such a forlorn look. He has known only cruelty from the day of
his birth, and that's all he will know until the day of his death at four
months of age. Every piece of veal that a person eats says that they support
this kind of abuse. |
(Cattle - Veal - 09) Just in the process
of lying down, this calf has stretched his neck chain to its limits. He
never knows any comfort! This is an abomination before God. At least in the
Bible, if a person did eat a calf, the calf was allowed to grow up with his
mother and enjoy his short life. Even that small comfort has been denied the
calves of today. |
(Cattle - Veal - 10) We constantly hear
others say that people are basically "good". The only way a person could
state such a falsehood is by denying the truth. To treat a calf this way is
evil. Therefore, to eat his flesh is equally evil, because it condones the
farmers' actions by saying, in effect: "Give me more of the cruelly treated
calves' flesh to eat!" |
(Cattle - Veal - 11) To allow any living
being to live under these conditions is wrong. To force any living soul to
live like this is an atrocity. Stop contributing to this holocaust! Stop
eating animals and their by-products! |
(Cattle - Veal - 12) Some people question
us about the harm their using dairy products does to animals. Veal, milk,
and cheese are all by-products of the dairy industry. These products come to
people's tables through enormous suffering and death. |
(Cattle - Veal - 13) This calf had been
disemboweled at a Pennsylvania stockyard where he was left to suffer in
agony. The stockyard workers refused to humanely euthanize him. To us, this
is just another example of how cruel this industry is. As the Bible tells us
in Proverbs 12:10: "The righteous man has regard for the life of his beast,
But the compassion of the wicked is cruel." |
(Cattle - Veal - 14) This is a dead pile
of calves behind a veal farm. Because of the low iron diet and unsanitary
crowded conditions, the calves are quite vulnerable to disease. From our
understanding of Biblical teachings, this industry is evil, and everyone who
eats veal, contributes to this atrocity. And remember, if there was no
demand for dairy products, these calves would not have been born to suffer
and die. |
(Cattle - Veal - 15) These are downed
calves at a stockyard where they were awaiting transport to slaughter. They
are a testimony to the abomination of this farmed animal industry, and
everyone who eats animals or their by-products contributes to this evil. |
(Cattle - Veal - 16) This is a veal
factory farming operation where the calves live outdoors in little sheds. To
us this may be a tiny step of improvement over the enclosed barns, but it is
still extremely cruel. Our hope and prayer is that this industry ceases to
exist, and it will when people show some compassion and stop eating veal. |
(Cattle - Veal - 17) This is a closer look
at these tiny sheds that house each calf. They can see the great outdoors
that God has provided for them, but they can never enjoy it. |
(Cattle - Veal - 18) The tiny sheds and
huge amount of suffering go on and on. These calves had only a taste of
their mothers' love before they were taken away, but it was just enough to
cause deep mourning and a sense of loss. |
(Cattle - Beef - 01) This cow or steer was
once a sweet young calf like Norman and Hugo; but now in a small
slaughterhouse, he or she has been shot in the head and is being hoisted up
with chains. This once living, breathing, feeling, and yes, loving animal
has been reduced to a commodity. |
(Cattle - Beef - 02) Once the
slaughterhouse workers hoist this formerly living soul up, they slit his or
her throat with a knife and let the blood run into the drum. |
(Cattle - Beef - 03) The blood flows like
water from a faucet! If it bothers most people to think that in some part of
the world they eat dogs and cats, whom they love, and it is so easy to love
calves like Norman and Hugo, then where is the line drawn that it's all
right to eat this animal and not that one They are all living souls, just as
the Bible teaches us. |
(Cattle - Beef - 04) Then these
slaughterhouse workers begin to cut the head off this once stately animal
who wanted to live as much as you do. |
(Cattle - Beef - 05) The slaughterhouse
workers continue their bloody work. Death is so cheap to most people. And
violent death has a way of rubbing off on all life, whether human or
non-human. Until humans stop killing animals, they will continue killing
each other. |
(Cattle - Beef - 06) The head of this
bovine has been cut off and thrown in the corner, while his or her body
continues to drain blood into the barrel. |
(Cattle - Beef - 07) Then the cadaver is
lowered to this rack where the hooves are cut off. The dismemberment
continues! How can so many people say they wholly love God, when they don't
extend that love to His other created beings? We find that hard to
understand. When we were "born again" (John 3:3, 5) our love overflowed to
the whole of creation. |
(Cattle - Beef - 08) These slaughterhouse
workers then begin the skinning process. When compared to the commercial
production line slaughterhouses, where we understand about 5% of the animals
are not properly stunned and are dismembered and skinned alive, this
slaughterhouse is quite mild. But they all market death! |
(Cattle - Beef - 09) Then they begin
hoisting this animal again to complete the skinning process. If there is no
death in heaven (Revelation 21:4), and Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven," (Matthew 6:10) then
why do so many people want to promote more death? |
(Cattle - Beef - 10) The rest of this once
living soul's skin is being pulled off. The promoters of death have another
victim. However, we need to remember that these promoters of death are not
just the people in the cattle and slaughterhouse industry; they also include
the consumers who drive this industry with their demand for flesh. |
(Cattle - Beef - 11) Next, the
slaughterhouse workers slit open this cow or steer's body cavity. They are
systematically reducing a once living being's body to a commodity. There
really isn't any difference between what is going on here and the photos (in
this series) of a Chinese market where they are doing the same thing to
dogs. Death is death! The only reason someone might think there is a
difference, is because they love one animal more than another. |
(Cattle - Beef - 12) This cadaver has been
split open from one end to the other. He or she is being prepared for burial
in several people's stomachs. No one will bring flowers in his or her
memory. All they will present is steak sauce to cover the taste of death. |
(Cattle - Beef - 13) Then they remove all
the inner organs to leave only the shell of what once was a living soul. The
Hebrew words for living soul are "neh-fesh khah-yawh", which is exactly what
God called the cattle (Genesis 1:24) and all the other animals and humans He
created. How long are people going to hide from this truth? |
(Cattle - Beef - 14) Then the hollow shell
of this animal is sawn in two. The life, and joy, and love, and fear, and
pain, and suffering, and death is slowly and methodically being "sanitized"
out of this once living being, until all that is left is "beef". |
(Cattle - Beef - 15) All that remains is
the head lying in the corner of the slaughterhouse floor. Is beef "real
food" or "real death" We believe it's the latter! |
(Cattle - Beef - 16) This a still from the
undercover video taken by a PETA investigator at AgriProcessors kosher
slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa. "The cow was loaded into a machine that
resembles a large metal tube. His head stuck out of the front, then a metal
bar clamped under his neck and forced his head upwards and back, cocked in
an awkward and painful-looking position. The entire machine rotated, turning
the cow upside-down. This process seemed to terrify him—his eyes were wide
with fright—I imagine because he had never been in such a helpless position. |
(Cattle - Beef - 17) This a still from the
undercover video taken by a PETA investigator at AgriProcessors kosher
slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa. "The entire machine rotated, turning the
cow upside-down. This process seemed to terrify him—his eyes were wide with
fright—I imagine because he had never been in such a helpless position. The
cow’s exposed neck was scrubbed with a hose and brush, then a rabbi came out
of a small room and slit the cow’s throat. Another worker followed the rabbi
and gouged a chunk of flesh out of the cow’s neck and then pulled his
trachea or esophagus (I’m not sure which one) outside of his throat so that
it hung down. Then the machine reverted the cow into an upright position.
The trap door on the side opened up and the cow was dumped onto the floor,
where another worker attached a chain to the animal’s ankle so that he could
be hoisted into the air and sent down the line. |
(Cattle - Beef - 18) This a still from the
undercover video taken by a PETA investigator at AgriProcessors kosher
slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa. "Many cows were still alive and conscious
when they came out of the tube and were slammed onto the floor. Their heads
often hit the concrete with a sickening crack. I watched as one cow landed
on his feet and started scrambling around with a shocked look on his face.
The workers simply jumped behind their barricade and waited for him to
collapse. |
(Cattle - Beef - 19) This a still from the
undercover video taken by a PETA investigator at AgriProcessors kosher
slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa. How can there be anything "kosher" about
these atrocities, which go against all the precepts of God? It nothing but
demonic sadism! The rabbis in Israel must have agreed, for they also
condemned this barbaric operation. |
(Cattle - Beef - 20) This a still from the
undercover video taken by a PETA investigator at AgriProcessors kosher
slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa. "The first time I saw a cow stagger to
his feet and walk around with his trachea dangling outside of his body, I
thought to myself, this can’t be happening—but after several days I knew
better...The suffering and cruelty I witnessed didn’t phase anyone on that
killing floor." |
(Cattle - Beef - 21) This a still from the
undercover video taken by a PETA investigator at AgriProcessors kosher
slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa. "I just wish that people who eat meat
could stand where I did for a day and see cows whose eyes are wide with
fright have their throats slit and tracheas gouged out...There is no
justification for the cruelty I documented in that slaughterhouse. The
presence of the USDA didn’t have any effect, nor did the presence of the
rabbis. These animals were failed by both religion and [government]
regulations." |
(Cattle - Beef - 22) This a still from the
undercover video taken by a PETA investigator at AgriProcessors kosher
slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa. "A cow stood up after being dumped on the
floor and went into the corner. They managed to kill one or two more cows
while he lay there moving around trying to stand up. He continually moved
his nearly severed head around … as his legs were also making an effort to
stand." |
(Cattle - Beef - 23) The dark colored cow
or steer in this video still is conscious and struggling to get free of his
or her pain and suffering. This is proof that there is no such thing as
humane slaughter. Neither is there any sign of compassion, which in our
opinion makes the whole operation evil. |
(Cattle - Beef - 24) By comparing this
video still with the previous one, it is easy to see that the dark colored
cow or steer is conscious and struggling from his or her fear and pain.
Every time a person eats beef or wears leather, they are contributing to
these atrocities and saying with their forks and dollars that they approve
of the cruelty. |
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial Slaughter - 01)
This and the following photos are from one of the world's largest animal
sacrifices which took place at the Gadhimai 'festival' in Bara district,
Nepal. A lone living baby stands beside his or her slaughtered mother
in the killing arena.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 02) The killing field! An estimated 16,000 water
buffaloes were killed in total around the temple. Many were publicly
beheaded by 250 licensed butchers in an arena. There is nothing Godly
about this atrocity.
See the movie 4000 Cows Are
Slaughtered Per Hour.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial Slaughter - 03)
This is another photo of the slaughter victims. People here in the
United States may think that slaughtering 16,000 head of cattle in a single
say is worse than anything they could imagine, but they'd be wrong, because
in the United States about this many cattle are slaughtered every day in
just 4 hours to the gods of lust and greed. Go Vegan and end the killing!
See the movie 4000 Cows Are
Slaughtered Per Hour. |
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 04) Butchers preparing to kill the cattle. The killings were
promoted and presented as a spectacle - many butchers and onlookers were
actually laughing during it all. One butcher, Ramlal Mahato, is quoted as
saying: 'The more animals I kill, the more satisfied I feel. I am helping an
ancient tradition to survive.' The only tradition here is a satanic
one, and the proof is in the fact that the people laughed and enjoyed the
killing and bloodshed. It has been said that if slaughterhouses had
glass walls, people would stop eating flesh, but they're wrong, for when it
is open for viewing, people laugh at the suffering because their hearts are seared.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 05) A butcher in the process of chopping off the head of
this baby water buffalo. In the background we can see the crowd of
spectators and the hundreds of victims who will be killed.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 06) A butcher with a blood stained sword resting on his
shoulder get ready to kill another innocent calf. Why do human beings
have to be so blood-thirsty? Don't go along with the cruelty. Stop
supporting all animal products with your money. Go Vegan!
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 07) This blood-stained butcher is in the process of cutting
off the head of a baby water buffalo. Behind him, another man appears
to be carrying the severed head of a baby goat by an ear, which is one of
the more than 50,000 goats that were slaughtered in the vicinity of the
temple. When we consider that our religious institutions are
supporting this and other forms of blood-letting, it is no wonder that we
have so much violence in the world.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 08) This is another photo of a butcher cutting off the head
of a baby water buffalo, which is being done in full view of the other animals.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 09) Take a closer look at the severing of this calf's head,
and consider the fact that this is happening to more than 50 billion other
land animals every year. Stop the blood shed! Stop the cruelty!
Stop eating, wearing, and using animal products! Go Vegan! Stop the human
indifference to the suffering and exploitation of animals by speaking out to
everyone you can.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 10) These butchers are getting ready to kill the baby water
buffalo between them and the wall. If you think that this is horrible,
which it is, just remember that these butchers are no different than our own
slaughterhouse workers and those who farm animals; and the spectators on the
wall are no different than all the people who eat, wear, and use animals.
They all turn a blind eye to the suffering of animals. Compassion starts
with each and every one of us, and until it does, suffering, violence, and
death will continue. Make a difference. Go Vegan!
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 11) We can only imagine the fear and terror that these baby
water buffalo feel as they watch the killing of their fellow babies.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 12) The fact that the killing and blood-shed is a public
spectacle, is proof of the hardness of heart of the people.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial
Slaughter - 13) This still living baby water buffalo looks down upon the
decapitated bodies of the other babies, and must realize that he or she will
be next to die. We know these baby water buffalo will be in heaven,
but we have doubts about the humans.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial Slaughter - 14)
Another baby looks down upon the horror of the slaughter, and the smell of
death, realizing that he or she will be next.
|
(Cattle - Festival and Sacrificial Slaughter - 15)
We can only imagine what is going through the mind of this still living baby
as he or she looks intently upon bloodied neck and headless body of once
living and breathing fellow baby. Stop the killing and bloodshed of
billions of animals every year. Go vegan!
|
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 01) Bullfighting is
the "sport" of sadists. This is true of both the participants and
spectators, for they all take pleasure in the pain and suffering of a living
being. Thus, it is evil and an abomination before God. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 02) This bull is so
weakened from blood loss and from being stabbed, that it is having trouble
standing. He struggles to stand because he wants to live, but the more
powerful humans have denied him that right. Such abuse of power is evil! |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 03) This matador
stabs the bull repeatedly in his shoulders to weaken and torment the bull.
This stabbing is not fatal, but causes the bull to suffer and bleed. To us,
for someone to enjoy this "activity" is proof of his or her depravity. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 04) It should be
obvious to everyone that this bull is in pain. The Bible teaches us
(Proverbs 12:10) that "A righteous man has regard for the life of his beast,
But the compassion of the wicked is cruel." Therefore, anyone who
participates in bullfighting, or watches it for pleasure, is by definition a
wicked person. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 05) Probably the
most incredulous thing about bullfighting is that so many churches and
pastors can sit back and say nothing about this evil practice. There should
be a worldwide outrage emanating from the churches, but there is not. Could
it be that the churches are filled with many wicked and sadistic people? |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 06) There should be
no doubt in anyone's mind about the fact that this and other bulls are
systematically tortured to death for human entertainment. This is evil! |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 07) In our opinion,
all humans who torment and mistreat animals are cowards, as the hiding
matador proves. One reason they do these evil things to animals is that the
animals cannot speak for themselves. Keeping silent about these evils is
also the sign of a coward. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 08) This mocking,
prideful pose of the matador reminded us of Proverbs 8:13:"The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverted mouth, I hate." Once again the bullfighting entertainment industry proves itself to be truly evil. And the people love it! |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 09) A sword has
been stuck into this bull by one of the three sadistic cowards who are
standing around watching him bleed to death. Blood can be seen running out
his mouth and nose. Evil is not a strong enough word to describe the
character of these people or those who enjoy this blood "sport." |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 10) To deliberately
cause this kind of pain, suffering, and death can only be described as
satanic, because it is so counter to the way the Bible teaches us to treat
animals. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 11) The depravity
of the human mind is evidenced by the people who come to bullfights to be
entertained. Watching a bull like this one being tortured to death should
make a moral person sick to their stomach. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 12) Blood pours
from the mouth of this tortured bull, as his tormenter and cheering
encouragers watch. To us, this is nothing but premeditated murder, and all
who participate and support this "activity" are co-conspirators. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 13) As long as a
society believes that such evil is good, they will never know true love and
peace; for they are doing exactly the opposite of what we are told in Psalm
34:14:Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 14) Another evil
coward on a blindfolded horse stabs a bull with his lance. They blindfold
the horse so that he or she can't see what he or she is involved in and
revolt. The horse is obviously more intelligent and compassionate than the
rider. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 15) After torturing
this bull for a while, the evil and sadistic matador takes aim with his
sword. He still won't kill the bull outright, but let's him suffer a while
longer from the fatal stroke by bleeding to death. It is no wonder that
after Noah sacrificed animals after the Flood, God said, "...the intent of
man's heart is evil from his youth..." (Genesis 8:21) Instead of trying to
show God that we can follow the teachings of love and compassion, most
people have followed the course of death and destruction. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 16) To the joy of the evil onlookers, the bull is now too weak to stand and falls over. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 17) And the bull
still desperately tries to cling to life before his evil tormentors. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 18) In this photo we see the tormenting of another bull and the endangering of a horse. This is just another example of human depravity. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 19) Bullfighting is
an example of human pomp and savagery...an evil spectacle for evil
onlookers. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 20) The ghoulish
practice of bullfighting continues with the matador "proudly" holding up an
ear and the end of the bull's tail. If anyone is curious about the sin of
the "boastful pride of life" that John tells us about in 1 John 2:16, this
is what it looks like. It is evil! |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 21) There are few
public events that reveal human depravity to the extent that bullfighting
does. How people can become so ungodly that they cheer the torturing of an
animal to death is almost beyond our comprehension. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 22) This bull
stumbles from a combination of pain, exhaustion, and loss of blood. This
bull has done nothing to deserve such evil treatment. He has simply fallen
victim to depraved people in a society that glorifies cruelty. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 23) With a final
cruel thrust, this gang of torturers and executioners finally decides to
kill this nearly dead bull. They do this for the enjoyment of evil people
who watch this abomination of human society. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 24) Bullfighters
are really cowards, despite their pretense of bravery. It's all part of an
act to please an evil crowd of spectators. If this were not so, they
wouldn't need to "soften-up" the bull by stabbing and bleeding him. |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 25) There really is
little difference between the atrocities committed against the bulls in the
arena and the way the majority of farmed animals are treated. The arena's
cheering crowds are no different from those who rave over the body parts on
their plates. It is all evil, and it is time that it stops! |
(Cattle - Bullfighting - 26) In one final
attempt to stop his torturer from hurting him any more, this bull gores him
in the groin. To quote Linda Beane from Animals in Print, "The bull stops
here!" |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Bull Riding - 01) The
shocking device is an easily concealed device. Although small, the electric
prod delivers 5,000 volts of extreme pain. Rodeo animal abusers often shock
their victims repeatedly before releasing them, driving them wild with
torment. SHARK offers money to rodeo people to take a shock from the same
device they use on their victims. These supposedly macho "cowboys" always
refuse! |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Bull Riding - 02) Like
the victims of bullrings, the huge size and fierce appearance of a bull
makes him the perfect target for animal abusers. Rodeos know they can fool
many people into believing that the bull is impervious to pain. Nothing
could be further from the truth. Furthermore, bulls were never ridden in
ranch work. In this photo we can see that there is no shortage of either
animal abuse or idiocy at a rodeo. |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Bull Riding - 03)
Notice how tightly the flank or bucking strap is tied. |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Calf Roping - 01) It is not hard for anyone with a brain and a heart to understand what is wrong with roping a baby animal, body slamming it to the ground and tying it legs so it cannot move. If this were done to a puppy or kitten, the offender would be charged with crimes and likely jailed. The violent contortion of the calf's back during roping may result in injury or death. |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Calf Roping - 02)
After having his tail painfully twisted and raked over a fence rail, this
calf ran out of the chute at top speed to escape his torment. The calf is
roped so violently she becomes airborne before slamming into the ground.
This process can break the calf's neck, back or legs. |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Calf Roping - 03)
After hitting the ground, the contestant runs to the calf, picks her up and
body slams her again, knocking the wind out of her so he can tie her legs. |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Calf Roping - 04) This
innocent calf is about to be slammed back down to the ground. This is a
perfect example of how humans justify their cruelty simply because they have
the power to do so. Help us stop this cruelty. Stop Rodeos! |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Calf Roping - 05) The
calf, eyes bulging in terror, gasps for air with the rope stretched tight.
Horses used in calf roping are trained to keep the rope pulled tight, or
even to pulled the calf on the ground, just so they cannot break free. If
they can breathe, the calves cry pitifully, as you would expect from any
terrified baby. |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Calf Roping - 06) This is another photo of a terrified calf being cruelly slammed down on the ground. |

photo of a calf being roped was taken by Shark at the Starbucks sponsored

(Cattle - Rodeo - Steer Wrestling - 01)
Steer wrestling has no place in ranch history. It never happened on the
ranch. It is an abusive event developed simply to amuse people of
questionable character and intelligence. |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Steer Wrestling - 02)
The rodeo contestant jumps from his horse onto the head and neck of the
running steer. He twists the steer's head around until the victim falls to
the ground. Broken necks are often the result, although many other injuries
may also occur. |
(Cattle - Rodeo - Steer Wrestling - 03)
This photo gives us another look at the cruelty involved in twisting the
steer's head and neck to the point where he can no longer stand up and falls
to the ground. |
(Cattle - Torture - 01) One of the most
savage rituals of cruelty toward animals is Brazil’s Farra do Boi. Farra do
boi, loosely translated as "Festival of the Oxen" or "Ox Fun Days," involves
the torture-killing of several hundred oxen each year in more than thirty
communities throughout the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. This evil
festival begins with starving the oxen for two days, with food in plain
sight but out of reach. |
(Cattle - Torture - 02) This is a banner
depicting the depravity of human beings as they systematically torture
cattle for up to three days; and from the looks on the humans' faces, they
do it for fun. To take enjoyment in another's pain and suffering is evil. |
(Cattle - Torture - 03) Youths are
tormenting this innocent animal who has no place to escape. The evil acts of
the the tormentors' parents have carried over to the next generation. |
(Cattle - Torture - 04) A crowd watches as
these young men torment this animal on the beach. They hit and pull on the
tail and ears to try to get the animal on the ground. It is said that this
festival originally started as part of a religious celebration before
Easter. They would pretend that the oxen were Judas or the devil. The only
thing the participants were doing is following the devil and all his
evilness, as do these people today, who no longer place a religious
significance on their torturous "fun." |
(Cattle - Torture - 05) The whole town
watched as this mob tortured cattle for three or more days. The only escape
the cattle have from their pain and suffering is death. |
(Cattle - Torture - 06) The look of fear can plainly be seen on this bull's face as these youth try to trip him with a rope, so that they can more easily beat the animal when he is down. When evil is left unchecked, and even encouraged, as is the case here, there seems to be no end to the extent of human cruelty. We believe that most, if not all, of this cruelty stems from the fact that humans kill and eat animals. |
(Cattle - Torture - 07) This mutilated bull
is still alive after having his legs chopped off. These acts are pure evil
and an abomination before God. The greatest tragedy of all is that the
Church, who are in a position to end this atrocity, haven't stopped this
depraved cruelty; thus they have become a part of it, and assume the
responsibility for all the souls involved who are following Satan to hell. |
(Cattle - Torture - 08) Sometimes the bulls
try to escape their tormentors by running into the ocean, where some of them
drown. Others are pulled back to shore to be tortured some more. |
(Cattle - Torture - 09) In their attempt to
escape, sometimes these terrified bulls swim out into the open ocean and
drown. |
(Cattle - Torture - 10) After days of being
tortured, this bull is too weak and exhausted to get to his feet. In this
photo, he is being bled to death. His body parts were them divided up among
the town's people. Until we stop regarding animals as non-beings to be
played with and killed, without regard for their lives or feelings, these
atrocities will continue. Stop the pain and suffering! Go Vegan! |
(Cattle - Torture - 11) Rosa writes: Every
year between the 26th and 29th of June in Coria, Extremadura, arguably the
most backwards region of Spain when it comes to animal issues, a hapless
bull is horribly tortured to death by the rabble. He is made to walk for
hours while being tortured with darts, directed especially to his eyes and
other delicate parts, until he gets so tired from the stress, the pain and
the blood loss that he lays down to rest and that is when the barbarians
fall on him and cut his testicles while he is still alive. |
(Cattle - Torture - 12) Rosa continues:
No-one that has a minimum of sensitivity or conscience can understand what
moves humans to do things like this but they do, and it happens all over
Spain and also in parts of Mexico, Brazil...while the authorities at best
ignore it, at worst declare it of "cultural interest" and promote it! Most
of these events are dedicated to saints from the Catholic church (Saint John
for the Toros de Coria). |
(Cattle - Torture - 13) We can understand
why these hard hearted government officials and politicians support such
cruelty: they are trying to buy votes, just as our politicians do when they
kill innocent animals in hopes of buying the votes of the 4% of Americans
who hunt. However, we can not understand how the church, particularly the
Catholic Church, can sit "idly" by and support such ungodly and satanic
torture, whether through their silence or actual support. |
(Cattle - Torture - 14) In
Medinaceli, a picturesque town in the province of Soria, Spain, a
"tradition" called "Toro Júbilo" brings shame on Spain. On the second
weekend in November, balls of pitch (a sticky black substance made from tar
or turpentine) will once again be stuck onto the horns of a bull and set on
fire. The burning bull is called "Toro de Fuego" (literally "bull on fire").
Help stop this horrible practice by speaking out against this torture and
all other forms of animal exploitation. |
(Cattle - Torture - 15) When
the pitch is ignited, the bull is released onto the streets and can do
nothing but run around in pain. The bull often smashes into walls in an
attempt to douse the fire. The agony and terror the bull must suffer is
unimaginable. These fiery balls can burn for hours, and they burn the bull's
horns, body and eyes and cause tremendous stress – all the while, spectators
cheer and run around the victim. This tradition is straight from hell and
must be stopped! |
(Cattle - Torture - 16) This kind of ungodly practice could be easily stopped if the church and the government wanted to stop it, but because the are complacent in this event, they are just as guilty as the ones who set the fire and cheer. And every priest who keeps silent about ending such practices, proves that he is really a child of Satan. |
(Cattle - Transportation - 01) These
cattle were crowded aboard a ship in 2003 for more than three days as they
were transported from Australia to the Philippines. They hardly have room to
lie down, and when they do, other cattle have trouble getting to whatever
food and water may exist. |
(Cattle - Transportation - 02) This is
another photo of the crowded pens aboard the ship. Note the small, nearly
empty trough and the problem the cattle have in trying to get to it. Only
depraved humans would cause other beings to suffer in this manner. |
(Cattle - Transportation - 03) When
cattle do find a way to lie down, it's partially under other animals and in
their feces. Human indifference to the suffering of animals must end. Stop
the income that keeps this cruel industry in business. Don't eat meat! |
(Cattle - Transportation - 04) This
animal is also forced to lie down on the feces covered floor. The Bible
teaches us that the people involved are wicked, because they have no regard
for the welfare of their animals and treat them cruelly (Proverbs 12:10). |
(Cattle - Transportation - 05) These
cattle were forced to live 11 days aboard a ship that went to General
Santos, Philippines. Note the hoof print on the one animal where another
animal was forced to walk over him or her. Only evil human beings would
subject animals to these conditions. |
(Cattle - Transportation - 06) More
crowded cattle lying in their feces and urine. An Animals' Angels
investigator said, "The smell and ammonia is overpowering." Forcing animals
to live this way is an abomination before God! |
