The Price of Freedom

The killing of animals have been justified or at least attempts at this justifications have been made based on our needs to test products on them, need for animal proteins and other nutrients from animal meat and produce etc. However, we have taken this killings to an extreme as animal martyrs have been linked to political holidays like labor day and so forth! In Pennsylvania, labor day is celebrated by killing hundreds of pigeons as people take turns shooting pigeons with guns. Also, we have canned hunting; hunting of deers and other wildlife in fenced in areas sweeping the nation as a favorite pastime for locations proximal to forests or some wildlife.
Some experts explain that these activities like pigeon shootings on labor day or canned hunting every other weekend or so are taking a life of their own and they are result of our freedom. Our freedom as Americans and humans to bear arm and be able to hunt what and sometimes when we want is responsible for this animal brutality.

Holiday celebrations aren't the only celebrations that require animal torture nowadays as killing in the name of religion has been a dominant practice since Adam and Eve first walked the planet. Killing animals as offerings to some higher spirit, as a symbolism for some feast like the break of the past period or in remembrance of some Saint are just a few examples of killing in the name of religion. The Andalusian and most of Spain celebrate certain Christian Saints feast days by torturing bulls,the bulls is stuck with darts and spears as it runs through the town making its way to the church where it is later on killed.

Whether as a celebration of religion or our freedom like through holidays like labor day or whatever, putting animals through such torture is sadistic and cruel!!!!!!!!!!!
