We’re all staying home due to the current coronavirus pandemic, but the fight for animal rights must continue. Amidst the lockdown, clever folks are highlighting the cruel and cramped conditions that factory-farmed animals are held captive in.
No longer able to stage peaceful vigils at local slaughterhouses, members of animal welfare groups, such as Los Angeles Animal Save, have taken to social media to recreate the distressing and confined environment cows, pigs, chickens and more are forced to endure.
Photos and videos with the hashtag #CoronavirusConfinementChallenge show people squashed under tables, in bathtubs, boxes or cages.
“Right now people are feeling isolated and stressed under lockdown in their own homes, which is a normal and natural reaction to confinement,” said Amy Jean Davis, the founder of L.A. Animal Save. “This experience should help people who still eat animals understand that while for us it’s temporary, for pigs, chickens, cows, and other animals exploited for food, extreme confinement in crates, cages, and pens is their entire [lives].”
Among those taking up the challenge is journalist and author Jane Velez-Mitchell, who posted a video of herself under her coffee table in a bid to represent the severely restricted space in which breeding cows are kept.
“Even if we’re isolated in our homes,” Velez-Mitchell said in her video, “we can show the world the obscene confinement that animals raised for food are kept in.”
Around 1,000 Save Movement global organizations are taking part in the challenge.

Ok there is a disease and it is out. However the media and elite are blowing it way out of proportion. The Coronavirus was in existance before 2013. See book by Stephen Harrod Buhner entitled Herbal Antivirals. And there are herbal cures to it see page 200,Isatis and others. See for yourself. This is proof to me that if anyone really wanted to cure this disease they would do so, rather than control the majority of the worlds population in fear. So please folks stop being afraid and open your eyes! There is plenty of hope, ya just have to want better than this to find what you want. Note I was looking for a cure to my poor kitties that have contracted felineherpesvirus, I found 5 or so herbs that do. And if you look you can find them too, and more.
I wish we would all stop eating animals and bless them with a good and painless happy life!They deserve.It is heart breaking to treat them like they are treated in factory farming , devastating.Please stop factory farming.
For GOD’s sake, don’t animals go through enough. I demand that you change this. How do you people even sleep at night?
THERE IS “” NOTHING “” PEACEFUL OR FAMILY FRIENDLY ON ANY OF THESE POSTS !! SO HOW CAN WE LEAVE AN HONEST HEARTFELT RESPONSE !???

Really the human race needs to raise it’s consciousness. Animals can not suffer any longer. If people don’t change their attitudes towards the pain and suffering and evil done to them we will always have pandemics and more !

Ban the slaughter and meat all together theses innocent lives never did 1oz of nothing wrong to us at ALL. But continue enslaving theses animals for profit like they’re some kind of objects. More diseases will continue in the future if we don’t STOP this now!

I am an animal lover.. but i do eat meat and nothing is wrong with that, thats why cows and chickens were put on this earth. But i dont like them being crammed in cages like this it is wrong. They need to roam free and live free.
Gina- You can’t be animal lover and eat meat. And provide animal welfare to factory farms. Since they’re still going to get murder in a slaughter house at the end of their life. When you still supporting animal welfare your still animal abuse! People gotta look thur the animals eyes that they don’t want to be done to them why should we do to other’s.
All countries need to inspect and keep factory farming under better and more humane conditions. If an animal is chewing on fence, there is definitely something wrong.
More humane standard is to go vegan and not buy their products. Not animal welfare and its still supports animal slaughter!
Only 1 wish for ALL animal abusers — CORONA VIRUS!!!
Well said, Anne-Mari, I second that emotion.
Animal cruelty must be stopped. It must not be allowed to continue. Animals are suffering far too much.. People like myself who care want to see this stopped.

Hey Jane Velez Mitchell, loved you on HLN, COULDN’T wait to watch each night, cried when you were canceled, You inspired me to total veganism
Love you 😍
The horrific suffering, abuses and deaths of Animals throughout the world MUST STOP — FOREVER — I strongly suggest to GO VEGAN! — Going VEGAN will eliminate many problems, issues and sadistic, heinous crimes with regard to Animals — NO DECENT SOCIETY would allow for such brutal abuse and killings of Animals — again, GO VEGAN! — GO VEGAN! — do it for yourself — do it for the Animals — do it for our Planet.
Whether we eat meat or are vegan, we can unite to improve the conditions of farm animals. Factory farming must be eradicated–it is a scourge. Support your family farms:

Protest! Just stand away from each other.
Well done Jane Velez- Mitchell.
What will it take to convince people to wake up and stop eating animals….

I hope people learn from this.but I doubt it.
