Last week, Mercy For Animals (MFA) released its latest undercover investigation—into Christensen Farms, a Walmart pork supplier:
At a Christensen Farms facility in Hanska, Minnesota, an MFA investigator documented horrific cruelty and neglect, including the following:
Almost all of the 100 million pigs killed for food in the U.S. every year endure horrific conditions like these on factory farms. These social, sensitive animals spend their lives in extremely crowded, filthy warehouses, in which they are deprived of even natural sunlight until the day that they are crammed onto a truck bound for the slaughterhouse.
Want to help stop this? Go vegan.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

This is the story of how I became a vegetarian:
I have been a vegetarian for 13 years now. When I was a little girl I wanted to become a veterinarian. So this one day I told my mom that if I wanted to become a veterinarian I couldn’t eat my patients that I had to cure them instead. She was very surprised and didn’t believe me much but from that day on I wouldn’t eat any of the meat put on my plate. She tried forcing me to eat it, talking to me about it, taking me to the doctor, but nothing worked. I never went back to eating meat and overtime she just had to accept this.

Get a fence, let your dog run around, play with it. If you “don’t have the time,” give your dog to a better home. I had a dog a few years ago, a beautiful golden lab named Maddie. Unfortunately my mother, my siblings and myself were all in school at the time, and my dad worked nights, so Maddie was in a kennel almost all day. We played with her whenever we could, but we realized it wasn’t enough. So we gave our beloved Maddie to a family in the next town who homeschooled their children, and took their dogs everywhere with them (including bed!) and we went to visit her whenever we could. She now lives and plays in the mountains of Alberta, and is happier and healthier than ever before!

We could all sit at home and cry about the horrible things being done to these animals, but we don’t; we take action, we take pledges and we make a difference! Yay PETA!!

I’ve been a vegetarian for a year and 2 months. Last year i was with my friend and she showed me a video on how these animals are killed and i just felt really bad i decided to go vegetarian because of that bad feeling i just cant stand how people sit there and eat animals thinking that its ok.
