Lambs Marked For Slaughter

Picture of the day: A merino lamb attempts to climb an enclosure to get back to its mother just before feeding time. Taken in Brandenburg, Germany, where the lambs will be sold in time for traditional Easter dinner. (Thanks for the tip, Sarah!) posted

I know, right? Now tell your friends!

  • If I ever have to eat lamb, I pretend I'm eating the sock-puppet from “Lambchop”. This makes it ok.

  • This whole post is ridiculous. People have been eating lambs since there were people and lambs.

  • How could Germany just kill a bunch of lambs like that? I guess you could say they're a bunch of DEUTSCHBAGS

  • You've never lived in a place with a lot of sheep, I guess. These aren't “marked for slaughter,” they're *always* spray painted to make it clear which sheep belong to whom — that's important, because, as you can't see in this image, sheep mostly wander around pretty freely.

  • Animals produce methane and carbon dioxide, both are deadly gasses.  Plants produce oxygen, oxygen is critical to most life on the planet.  Therefore, I am eating animals as a public service to eliminate methane and Co2 from our atmosphere and saving the plants that provide us with the oxygen we need to breathe. Bam.

  • Well… this breaks my heart and makes an already bad day worse. Then again, that's why I'm a vegetarian. I know I can't convince the world to be vegetarian, but I just wish everyone eats meat was required to understand where their meat comes from and not be so removed from it. Its a lot easier to go to a nice restaurant and order lamb chops than it is to look at this. That's why I'm giving this a Heart because more images like this need to be seen.  If slaughterhouses had glass walls…

  • They appear to have plenty of room to move around in their pen. Seems like a pretty comfortable existence to me.
