Chickens unnaturally raised to maximize profits
Only after the last tree is cut down,
The last of the water is poisoned,
The last animal is destroyed...
Only then will you realize
You cannot eat money.
Cree Indian Prophecy
Ethics
Factory farming gives us meat that is much cheaper than organically raised, ethically raised, and humanely raised meat. But, at what cost? Watch the video, A River of Waste: The Hazardous Truth about Factory Farms to see the horrific damage done to the water, land, and human lives to satisfy our taste for meat, a voracious appetite, matched only by corporate greed, fuels big factory farms that flout the rules, poisoning all in the meantime. It seems that Europeans understand the need to stop practices we still continue.
I like and eat meat
In no way am I suggesting that anyone give up meat. I eat meat. I like meat! Eating less would be better for me. You make your own decisions on that issue. In case you got this far without watching the video, it is not about giving up meat. That is not an issue in this post and hopefully not the gist of your comments!
Your turn
Do you live in Arkansas? Or, in any area where factory farming happens? Have their been problems with the waste in the water?
