Mahatma Gandhi said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” What, then, can we surmise about the U.S., where 59 billion animals a year suffer intensive confinement, are deprived of all that is natural to them, have their bodies mutilated by dehorning, castration, ear cropping, and more, all before they are killed for a fleeting taste of flesh?

The FDA just ruled to not limit antibiotic use in animal farming, a practice that keeps animals alive that are so diseased that without the drugs, they would die. Not only is this unthinkably inhumane, it also creates superbugs resistant to the drugs, and ingesting those animal products makes the drugs no longer effective in fighting diseases in humans. Animals are suffering unimaginably, and people are dying, because of this.
