To Close the Slaughterhouses They Must Be Opened <\/p>\n

        Pour fermer les abattoirs il faut les ouvrir<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Of all the gratuitous suffering that humans inflict on animals, the industrial-scale breeding and slaughter for meat is the most flagrant. And yet most people are not aware of the enormity of the agony it really causes. Nor of the fact that all that unspeakable misery is completely unnecessary for human survival or health. <\/p>\n

There is no horror that we inflict on animals that we have not also inflicted on people. — But we have made laws to abolish human enslavement, murder and torture. And most decent people would never violate those laws, nor wish to. <\/p>\n

It is time to extend those laws to the suffering of nonhuman victims too. And the slaughterhouses are the most urgent place to begin \u2014 to end it.<\/p>\n

To close the slaughterhouses we must open them<\/i> \u2014 to the eyes and hearts of that vast majority of humane humans who could never again \u2014 not for a single second \u2014 continue contributing to the torments that take place there every moment, once they had witnessed it. <\/p>\n

Audio\/video cameras, rotating 360 degrees, 24 hours a day, positioned at all the industrial sites of the horrors — breeding, rearing, transport, slaughter — recording and transmitting the truth online, streaming continuously and permanently for millions upon millions of witnesses worldwide on the Internet. <\/p>\n

Crowd-sourcing compassion.<\/p>\n

De toutes les souffrances gratuites inflige\u00e9es aux animaux par les humains, l’\u00e9levage et l’abattage \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle industrielle, pour nous fournir en viande, sont les plus flagrants. Pourtant, la plupart d’entre nous ne sommes pas conscients de l’immense agonie caus\u00e9e aux animaux, ni du fait que ce tourment indicible n\u2019est n\u00e9cessaire ni pour notre survie ni pour notre sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Il est vrai qu’il n’y a aucune horreur que nous infligeons aux animaux que nous n\u2019avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 inflig\u00e9e aux humains. Mais nous avons adopt\u00e9 les lois pour abolir l’esclavage humain, l\u2019assassinat et la torture. Et la plupart des gens ne violeraient jamais ces lois gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la d\u00e9cence ordinaire. Il est grand temps d’\u00e9tendre ces lois et pr\u00e9ceptes aux souffrances inutiles des victimes non humaines. Et les abattoirs sont le lieu le plus pressant – pour commencer \u00e0 y mettre fin.<\/p>\n

Pour fermer les abattoirs, il faut les ouvrir <\/i>– aux yeux et aux c\u0153urs de cette vaste majorit\u00e9 d’humains d\u00e9cents qui ne pourront ensuite plus jamais, les ayant t\u00e9moign\u00e9es, continuer \u00e0 contribuer aux agonies qui s\u2019y d\u00e9roulent. Il faut insister sur l\u2019acc\u00e8s ouvert aux pratiques industrielles dans l’\u00e9levage, le transport et l’abattage: <\/p>\n

Les cam\u00e9ras audio-vid\u00e9o, pivotant \u00e0 360 degr\u00e9s, 24 heures par jour, plac\u00e9es partout aux lieux des abominations, captant et diffusant la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 en ligne \u00e0 des millions et des millions de t\u00e9moins sur Internet. <\/p>\n

La prise de conscience ne peut qu’inspirer la cl\u00e9mence. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
