After hours on the back of an overcrowded truck, Leo reached his final
destination - the slaughterhouse. The smell of blood, and frightened
screams of other baby calves, filled the air. Leo's last moments of life were much like his first - lonely and terrifying. He was shot in the head with a captive bolt gun, tied up by his legs, and then his throat was slit.
During his less than five months of life, all Leo ever knew was terror
and pain. And that's simply wrong. Please, help us end this abuse, once and for all.
You see, the meat industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars each
year to make sure that Leo will only remain a number. That he will not
be given a name. That his story will not be told. It spends hundreds of
millions of dollars convincing kindhearted people that meat comes from a grocery store - not the dirty and deprived reality of Leo's existence.
But Mercy For Animals is determined to share Leo's story. We are
determined that consumers know the dark side to meat and dairy
production. We are determined to end the suffering endured by Leo, and the billions of other farmed animals abused in our country.
Our brave undercover investigators give up everything to penetrate the walls of America's factory farms, hatcheries, and slaughterhouses. They do the heartbreaking and stomach-turning work that few of us could imagine. Because of these investigators, more and more Americans are waking up to the power, and consequences, of their food choices.
MFA's work is truly breaking new ground - opening hearts and minds,
capturing headlines worldwide, inspiring a new generation of
vegetarians, and sparking fierce discussion, legal action, corporate
policy changes, legislative efforts, and historic cruelty to animals
criminal convictions.
