The Green Temple For the animals. Nine billion land animals are raised and killed for food each year in the United States. With virtually no laws to protect them, birds, pigs, and cows on factory farms are routinely treated in ways that would result in legal prosecution if those same abuses were inflicted upon the cats and dogs with whom we share our homes. By choosing vegetarian foods, we can stand up for animals each time we sit down to eat.

Jimmy was born with rhinitis, a disease which deforms pig’s snouts. On modern-day factory farms, tens of thousands of pigs are crammed into large buildings without adequate ventilation. Respiratory illnesses are common, and thousands of sickly piglets die every year before even reaching “slaughter weight” when they are just six months old. Typically, sick and deformed pigs are killed by the farmers, but Jimmy managed to escape this cruel fate and found his way to Farm Sanctuary’s LA-area Animal Acres. Jimmy da Snout charms all the sanctuary visitors with his gentle and friendly personality, and loves to receive belly rubs and bananas! Visit Jimmy today – go to FarmSanctuary.org for details. Check out TryVeg.com for more information about the pig industry, and how you can make a difference for animals. 10 H The Vegetarian Guide to Los Angeles Mohawk Bend 2141 W.

Shortly before Thanksgiving, Brando and 24 other baby turkeys were left on the doorstep of Farm Sanctuary’s LA-area Animal Acres. They were dirty, weak, debeaked, and some also had the tips of their toes cut off, indications that they came from a factory farm. Debeaking is a standard industry practice in which the tip of the bird’s sensitive, nerve-filled beak is removed with either a hot blade or by microwave; both procedures are performed on the baby birds without anesthetic. While Brando had a rough start, with the gentle care and love of the shelter staff he improved daily and is now enjoying life at the sanctuary. Visit Brando today – go to FarmSanctuary.org for details. Check out TryVeg.com for more information about the turkey industry and how you can make a difference for animals.

William and Harry were inside a truck with nearly 100 other calves headed to be sold for veal or cheap beef. Sickly and weak like many dairy industry calves, the two were emaciated, hypothermic, and suffering from diarrhea so severe that they were seriously dehydrated. Their bones bulged beneath their flesh. Harry was so terrified of humans that he began shivering whenever anyone came near. Now at Farm Sanctuary’s LAarea Animal Acres, these two young calves are healing and growing by leaps and bounds. With the help of the shelter staff, they are also learning to trust and experiencing something almost no dairy calf ever does: peace. Visit William and Harry today – go to FarmSanctuary.org for details. Check out TryVeg.com for more information about the dairy and veal industries, and how you can make a difference for animals.
