Although the main arguments to stop supporting the animal
agriculture industry involve our health, animal suffering and
environmental degradation, the issue regarding social justice is
also an important one. All around the world workers at factory farms
and slaughterhouses are forced to work under extreme unsanitary and
dangerous conditions, many times under bondage, and without any
legal protection. As the article states, factory farms and
slaughterhouses are the new sweatshops.

Factory farms and slaughterhouses are hellish places. The
victimization of humans and God’s animals by the animal agriculture
industry is appalling and widespread. Christians are called to love
one another, but when we consume animal products we are supporting
an industry that abuses our fellow human beings as well as God’s
animals.
