'''Cattle Decapitation''', currently signed to [[Metal Blade Records]], is a [[San Diego, California]]-based [[deathgrind]] band. Originally founded in [[1996]], Cattle Decapitation's songs protest the mistreatment and human consumption of animals as well as the abuse of the [[environmentalism|environment]]. All members of the group are [[vegetarianism|vegetarians]], though their lyrics are focused on subjects such as [[misanthropy]] and the [[genocide]] of the human race. Through the use of [[macabre]] lyrical content (horror, real life lyrics about what they stand for) the members of the band represent their views on [[animal rights]] through gore-grind styled lyrics.
