IN A FEW MINUTES I will be posting an upsetting image. I believe the message it portrays is worth more than the distress it may cause some.

easter 2024
how animals suffer at easter
lambs
Christ is often referred to in the Bible as the "Lamb of God". On Easter Sunday, lamb is often served. They are taken from their mother's sides at only a few weeks of age. They are hung up on a conveyor belt in the slaughterhouse by their back legs. Their throats are slit and they are then left to bleed to death.
rabbits
The rabbit is a representation of fertility and rebirth. Every year baby bunnies are bought on impulse as a child’s gift.
Mary Cotter, vice-president of the House Rabbit Society, says that many of the bunnies adopted as Easter pets will never live to see their first birthday.
Some die from neglect or improper care, others are dropped off at animal shelters where euthanization is a common fate, while still others are simply abandoned.
chicks
The baby chick represents new life.
Every year around Easter time, thousands of chicks are dyed in brilliant colors. The dye is injected into the incubating egg or sprayed on the hatchling. Poultry farmers say it is harmless if a nontoxic dye is used, but many people object, saying it turns live birds into holiday playthings that are quickly discarded.
According to the American Humane Association, the majority of baby chicks die from stress or the lack of proper care within a few weeks of the holiday.
egg - laying chickens
More than 90% of all eggs produced in the USA come from battery hens. Here they live in crowded, tiny cages stacked tier upon tier in huge warehouses. They are unable to turn around or even spread one wing.
Male chicks – useless to the industry - are ground up alive or suffocated to death.
over - population
Another issue that rescues raise is that these bunnies and chicks are specially bred for the Easter period. The market is flooded with chicks and rabbits who may be abandoned.
Very few people will adopt an adult rabbit or chicken for Easter. Of the unwanted chicks and rabbits, the lucky ones will end up in a rescue where they wait for a forever home.
The tradition of giving chicks and bunnies as gifts is extremely cruel. Giving a gift that could be discarded when they are no longer cute or your child gets bored with them can teach them that animals are expendable toys.
