To pray that I.H.S.A.N continues long after my death.
I have included a pig in my rainbow which is my promise to all animals, even the pig, because even though the pig is considered to be dirty and haram to eat, we have to remind ourselves that this does not give us the right to be cruel to them, and also the dog. Exclusion of one in favour of the others is also haram.
Possess a Tender Conscience.

Chicken Transportation
When the chickens arrive at the slaughterhouse in their crates, they are either pulled from their crates or dumped by cranes onto conveyer belts. Some chickens fall off the conveyer belts and are usually left to die.
Chickens SlaughteredChickens are hung up live and are not always stunned when they reach the scalding tanks and the throat cutting point. They are named as "redskins" by the slaughterers.
How far does barbarity reach?
