The full impacts of this violent and damaging industry are widespread:

• Higher rates of domestic violence and violent crimes by slaughterhouse workers
• Physical, mental health and safety risks to slaughterhouse and farm workers
• Exploitation of poorer countries to raise animals for wealthier countries
• Feeding crops to animals instead of using them to end world hunger
• Destruction of the environment and creation of climate refugees
