Most people upon learning about the egregious cruelty animals
suffer in factory farms assume that small farms or backyard
livestock owners involve less abuse. However, the reality is that
these small farms have little on no surveillance and animal abuse is
sadly very rampant.

Raising animals for food, in any setting, is contradictory with
a compassionate and loving lifestyle. Animals raised for food are
almost always healthy young animals killed at a very early age,
which raises ethical issues as well. God’s farmed animals are at our
total mercy. When we broaden our circle of compassion and include
all beings in it, we are actively participating in the healing and
reconciliation of God’s Creation.
