Question
can you tell me the top ten most abused animals in the world?
Samantha,
This is a very broad question because all animals are abused. As far as deaths, chickens and farm animals are the most abused due to the 10 billion that die horrific deaths each year in the US alone. Fur animals are abused, zoo animals, dogs, cats, sheep, ducks, geese, dolphins, whales, monkeys - you name it. Here is a video that will put things into perspective for you. Please watch:

I can answer almost all questions about animals raised for food... and the horrifying truths of the abuse and torture these animals endure. Also, about the health ramifications of eating animals or their products, i.e. heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and a host of other diseases linked to our diets. Any questions on existing on a plant based diet, solely, raw diet and the health benefits.
