The demand of food production in America is so great that we are essentially poisoning our live stock. We are making these animals sick by trying to make them grow faster, larger, etc. To do this we have been pumping their feed with anti-biotics. The American public is somewhat unaware of the punishments we enforce upon our live stock.
Cattle, for instance, are corn fed and not grass fed, which is what these animals are meant to eat. Corn is hard for a cow to digest, and it pains them to digest it. If we continue to feed it to them because of how cheap corn is. Grass is not hard for cows to digest, and cows like grass.
they are healthier from eating it.
We force feed our livestock and don't even give them enough room to lay down and relax. Also when we pump their feed full of anti-biotics, we are creating resistant strand bacteria because they get used to the anti-biotics. In- turn, who's to say these very harmful bacteria can't move from cattle to people and cause more harm in the public?
Society doesn't realize that this even occurs. I never heard about any of this until I took this course in college and learned all about it. The cruelty involved in chicken raising is also a problem, to say the least. Yes, people need eggs and a certain number are used per day, but what is done to chickens is sickening. We pump these animals full of anti-biotics to obtain a result that we want. No matter how close quarters they live in, or how nasty their living conditions really are.
This American way of life is fast-past, self-centered, full of production companies and factories; whom are looking out for number one.
Should we change our way within the raising of animals to prepare for meat?
Is there another possible way of life, where animals can be happy too?
