Something new has appeared on our televisions here in New Zealand and also in Australia; a TV advertisement campaigning against the inhumane cruelty of factory farming and the animal agriculture industry. I first saw the TV spot online a few days ago and tonight I saw it for the first time on National television.
As a vegetarian for over 10 years I am hearten to see the largely silent plight of factory farmed animals voiced in prime-time media. It is not often that these issues are raised in the popular consciousness and I welcome these TV spots as a way to encourage all people to acknowledge the truth and to reconsider their options.
I would like to know how others feel about the campaign:
- Are people aware already of the cruel and inhumane practices of factory farming?
- Do you think the campaign will make a difference?
- How do you feel about vegetarianism or factory farming?
- Is the campaign offensive or sensationalism in your view?
If we care about all animals and their right to a life free of pain and suffering is this not enough to consider becoming vegetarian?
You can check out the ad campaign below or visit Animals Australia for more information.
