Andrew Skowron has been an animal rights activist for over 20 years, and for many years he's been documenting the reality of animals in factory farms. The places he visits and the images he sees on a daily basis are unbearable for most people, but Andrew keeps coming back and fighting even harder for the world to see the animals for who they truly are - friends, not food.

For the new decade, Andrew wrote a letter to everybody who loves animals and wants to see them free and happy.

Please don't set them free. They are often too domesticated to find their own food, and at least in my country, a harmful, non-domestic species, that are a threat to local wildlife. So, worst case scenario: they starve to death. Second worst: they live and kill local animals. Please try other forms of protest.

The proper term is vegan. Only vegans are truly enlightened people. Consuming animal flesh is that of a savage, backwards mind.

    As an activist, I have been undercover in a abattoir, apart from the general smell of blood and violence in the air, the worst thing, the thing that made me bite my lip to stop myself crying was the looks in the pigs and cows eyes as they were led to slaughter, the look their eyes gave me was "what have i done to deserve this?", we got that place shut down eventually as they were horrific people running it.Those eyes will stay with me forever.

    The overwhelming majority of pigs never gets to see straw in their entire life...And no sunlight, no windows, no fresh air. Just cold concrete slatted floors and artificial light. The mothers are put in pens so small that they can't even turn around or extend their legs when lying down.

    "Every year, I visit numerous factory farms. Very often people don't want to look at my photos, not because they are bad, but because they show the reality our society doesn't want to see. We don't want to see the pain, the neglect, the suffering. We don't want to acknowledge the terrible crime we, as humans, committed towards the animals. And I get it, trust me. I know how difficult it is to see another living creature hurt. I've been to more factory farms than I can count, and the things I've seen will haunt me forever."

    "Calves crying for their mothers, as they are taken away from them right after birth. Exhausted, exploited laying hens, practically featherless, barely breathing. Broiler chickens too heavy to lift their own bodies, unable to get to water or food. Minks and foxes going crazy in tiny cages of fur farms, with injuries to their paws and bodies. Quails kept in cages so small and dirty, they couldn't even dream of spreading their wings. Piglets having their tails cut off, teeth clipped, castrated with no anesthesia, screaming for help. Sows kept in farrowing crates, where they can't even turn around. Geese transported to slaughter in 40-degree heat."

    Teeth are cut because they are super sharp and while nursing, they will cause damage while nursing. This leads to a huge increase in mama pig getting an infection and possibly sick or worse, die. The piglets will also fight each other over where to nurse, causing injuries that can produce life long struggles...like losing an eye etc. Teeth cutting, tail docking, and castration are all done without anesthesia because...pigs do HORRIBLE on anesthesia. The risk of the pig dying while under the influence of anesthesia, for a procedure that takes less than 5mins, is not worth it...basic risk benefit analysis. The procedures are done sterile and quickly as possible...for the sake of the pig. They are back to doing Pig Things in less than 5minutes from being let go after procedure. Under anesthesia, the recover is hours and dying is a huge possibility.

    Here's the truth for all of you bleeding heart morons. Pig tails have to be docked because other pigs will EAT THE TAILS OF OTHER PIGS! It helps prevent that and the infection that will most likely start! And another little tidbit for you---of an infection starts and there is an open wound the other pigs will literally eat the rear end of the infected one! Now. Which is better? Docking or being eaten alive?

    Same. People are so cruel. We often forget that animal are living things, and that we can also put ourselves in their position. The fox already doesn't like being held hostage, but it doesn't even know greater pain awaits it. Same with cows, pigs, chicken, and so on.

    To assume that the pigs are "struggling to get fresh air" is absurd. Pigs are like dogs in a lot of ways. They are very curious in nature, have great hearing, and incredible sense of smell...for rooting out food that is underneath the soil. Pigs will always smell to get a sense of their surroundings, when their vision is blocked by something...just like dogs. If you have ever seen a pig pile (where all the pigs lay all over each other while they sleep), their snouts are crammed quite often, which they don't care...otherwise they would move to a more comfortable position.

    I am a vegetarian and I'm transitioning to being vegan. I also feel that I stand somewhere in the middle in the debate about animal cruelty, mainly because I've personally witnessed many animal advocates treat other humans like garbage then profess their love for animals. It doesn't make sense. Secondly, how many people are actually motivated by guilt in order to change. Not many. There needs to be a more respectful way to encourage people to eat a diet that is better for themselves. We must all be kind to, and respect, each other.

I won't eat lamb chops, or ducks, or fish, only because I have them. It's HUMAN NATURE to eat other animals. Would you stop a cat from eating meat just because the bird doesn't want to be killed? No. So why would you stop a human from eating cow? Or pig? Thank you, Araba, for being respectful. I agree completely with you.

    What is wrong with you. You can't just look at these animals and think there ok. You knew exactly where they're at right now. In a machine getting ready to be eaten. With no room to move, no sign of fresh water, no clear access to phisical interaction with other animals, do you really think he's screaming "just because [he] wants to"? I can't even begin to imagine the type of person you are. To just dismiss this animal because you want to stay happily eating him and his kind. It's disgusting.

    The calf is happy, waiting for its next meal. That is what most of them are all about. That and sleeping. Like human babies. 🙂

    It's outside and in the fresh air, and it does not look unhappy. It has a warm home and is probably looking forward to its next meal. I don't see the problem with this one

    Being kept just long enough to be cut into veal or to grow up and have a life like the mother, breeding, losing it's calf, and being milked until they can't do it any longer and end up in the slaughterhouse.

    Are you sure these were on farms? I mean I couldn't tell that they were from the pictures. Thank you for telling me in almost every picture they were on a farm. Now I can sleep tonight knowing that they were on farms.

    Poor calfie, missing their mom. And mom is calling out for them. Just so we can drink the breast milk that was meant for her baby. Does anyone ever think about it, how weird that actually is? Grown a*s humans drinking breast milk?

    I think that chicken is molting. It's completely normal. It just means they lose their feathers and grow new ones. I think chickens like this are in horrible conditions so don't get me wrong when I say this chicken is normal besides the fact that they're in bad conditions.

    It could also be stress plucking itself or its companions could be pulling out its feathers. Chickens are little monsters when it comes to pecking blood feathers and other forms of cannibalism and often such tight packed conditions result in stress behaviors.

    This is the stuff nightmares are made of !!These photos will be haunting me for ever...I am literally sitting here crying snot, and at the same time SO VERY angry with myself that I have been living in ignorance of so many of the things depicted here.I knew about the Polish geese having their feathers yanked out,time and time again,while screaming in anguish and stopped using duvets...IKEA sells them though..and stopped eating suckling pigs after I accidentally wandered into the kitchen of a restaurant well-known for roast suckling pig.My elderly neighbour has the most pampered poultry I have ever seen and spends hours every day taking care of them.He supplies me with fresh eggs. The agonising thing about this post is this overwhelming feeling of helplessness.I am just one elderly lady that take in abused greyhounds and donate to shelters,but it is such «a p**s-ant« effort taking into consideration this horrific post.I admire the photographer,HE IS TRULY A GREAT HUMAN BEING !!

    All these pictures are sad but the truth of the matter is we all gotta eat. They wouldn’t be doing this stuff if the demand wasn’t so high and food didn’t need to be distributed to so many different places and people. The reality is that I cannot produce my own food therefore I depend on these companies to do the essential dirty work for me. It is sad but how else are we supposed to survive in today’s society? I know my limitations and I appreciate my food for what it is, food.
