Every year in the UK approximately 2.6 million cattle, 10 million pigs, 14.5 million sheep and lambs, 80 million fish and 950 million birds are slaughtered for human consumption. That's over one billion animals in the U.K. alone.
True British Farming retweeted
In response to #Veganuary, the dairy industry is launching #Februdairy in an attempt to save their dying industry. Each day of Feb, I’m going to be tweeting realities that the industry would rather remain hidden.
Day 1: Farmers exchange advice on how to control misbehaving cows:
Every year in the UK alone 40 million male chicks are killed in the egg industry.
The most common method, also considered the most humane, is to drop the chicks into a mechanical macerator whilst still conscious.
Despite the label, many apparently free range chickens in the UK will never spend any time outdoors. Current laws allow farms to house "free range" chickens in cramped barns of up to 16,000 birds per building with just 1m of space for every 9 birds.
Every year in the UK dairy industry 90,000 male calves are shot within their first few days of life and disgarded as waste by-products.
Day 1451:
After a short, sad and painful life, she is slaughtered and hung up to bleed out. Her carcass will be butchered and her flesh sold as beef.
