Industrial farming is one of the worst crimes in history

                      Author: Yural Noah Harari

      The main argument of this article is the treatment of domesticated animals being the worst crime in history. Animals raised in farms are treated badly and are emotionally uncared for. Farmers only worry is to keep them alive and reproducing. These animals suffer and yet live on and multiply.They are locked in tiny cages, have their horns and tails cut off, separated from their mothers and offsprings, and finally breeded so they can repeat the same crime. "Industrial farming is responsible for more pain and misery that all wars put together", as said by the author. In conclusion the author says it is time to end this crime. We have the ability to end their suffering and make the world better for all beings. Animals suffer, they feel pain too. They can also feel happiness but it is up to us.

The organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was founded in March of 1980 by Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco. It is located in Norfolk, Virginia. A non-profit charitable organization. Their goal is to end the abuse and use of all animals. They hope to educate the public and stop all forms of animal suffering. In order to accomplish all this, they have investigations, they treat and re-home animals, and they even work with celebrities to gain more public interest.
