Over millions of animals in farms are being abused before being slaughtered. The workers are mistreating them and are making the last hours of their lives miserable. The workers are supposed to stun the animals before bleeding them. For pigs and sheep they are supposed to get electrical tongs and are supposed to shock them 3 to 4 seconds on their head so they can become unconscious long enough to bleed them. The workers do not do this they grab the tongs and start electrifying them on their body, nose and tail. This only makes the animal have an immense amount of pain and does not make them unconscious. After the workers stun the animals incorrectly they send them so they can bleed them. The animals are conscious the whole time and can feel what they are doing to them. We,the undersigned want the government of the United States to protect the animals in the slaughter houses by making a law that fines any slaughter house that mistreats and inhumanely stuns the animals

I have spent my nights reading your stories and feeling the weight of the reality we are fighting to change. It is impossible to unsee how these animals suffer while the people in power look away. I am currently reaching out to local representatives to ensure these horrific practices cannot stay hidden any longer.

Seeing this grow has been overwhelming because I think of those animals suffering in the dark every single day. The momentum behind this proves that people can no longer ignore this cruelty. We are finally forcing a conversation that should have happened years ago.
