Their floors are splattered with blood, urine, feces, and entrails. As long as slaughterhouses remain open, millions of animals will be killed and workers and their families will continue to be at an increased risk of contracting the coronavirus and other diseases that will inevitably arrive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s why PETA is pulling out all the stops to move Americans away from meat amid the COVID-19 pandemic \u2014 and beyond. This new nationwide ad blitz cost nearly a quarter million dollars, but it\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg&#8230; The bottom line is this: Slaughterhouses are never safe. Using animals for food is what led us to this current moment, and it won\u2019t lead us out of it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember: No one needs to eat meat, eggs, or cheese. Consuming animals\u2019 flesh and other body parts is linked to a host of health problems that are among the leading causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity&#8230; Here are the new ads that PETA is running to spread this vital message. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/blog\/ad-blitz-move-away-from-meat-close-slaughterhouses-amid-covid-19-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>SOURCE&#8230;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED VIDEO:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n8fUenzRGiw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PETA: What do top U.S. papers The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The San Diego Union-Tribune, The Seattle Times, The Washington Post, The Hill, the Washington Examiner, The Boston Globe, the Chicago Tribune, and USA Today have in common?
