Cows that are injured or become sick during transport to the stockyards or slaughterhouse often become unable to stand. They are
referred to as "downers." They are often pushed around with bulldozers into piles and are left to die a horrific death.

"I saw--with my own eyes--innocent animals having their heads bashed in with a captive
bolt pistol, some two or three times. Then a man would walk over and slit the cow's throat.
Buckets of blood poured out. It was horrible--the animals were squirming and screaming.
One of the men came out of a room while sharpening his knife and told us to watch out for
cows who fall off the chain and charge the workers." --Mike Luce, after visiting a
slaghter plant in Grant City, IL, April 1997
Rabbits in stocks for eye irritancy tests. Chemicals eat into the eye and sometimes through the eye. Rabbits
are common test subjects for these eye tests because they have no tear ducts to create tears to wash the chemicals out.

These terrified monkeys are the lucky ones, atleast they have someone else to cling to while they are left alone, unlike others.
