This newly born male calf lies in a wheelbarrow at a dairy farm, still damp from a brief moment with his mother, who cleaned him before they were separated forever. 💔 The farm has transferred him to a calf hutch where they will provide him with his first milk. The calf will then stay in the calf hutch, also known as an "igloo," for a few weeks before being sold for fattening and eventually sent to slaughter. Methods like these are standard in factory farms across the country right now.

In fact, the Aquaculture Stewardship Council—one of the leading organizations overseeing farmed marine animals—recently acknowledged that fish feel “pain, stress, and anxiety.” Learn more below. https://lnkd.in/g29v-2jQ

An estimated 12,000+ deaths a year in the United States are attributable to air pollution from animal-based food production! 😨 It gets worse. Industrial animal agriculture often victimizes the most vulnerable among us. In fact, according to the EPA, a stunning 74% of meat plants discharging waste into waterways are within one mile of low-income communities or communities of color. We have to do better for people, animals, and the planet. Take a stand today by adding more plant-based foods to your routine! Visit MercyForAnimals.org/HEV to learn how.
