OK folks this is a serious thing - Factory farming -
this is something we should all be aware of. I don't particularly like animals, I don't have pets like cats and dogs etc but I don't mind eating animals, I'm carnivorous. I do mind it when they are treated badly. I've seen TV shows about abbatoires and I truly believe those people care about their work and do everything they can to be quick and painless. Farming methods are different. The methods used today in factory farming, can be quite barbaric and we just don't get the information about it. Here in Canberra, we're banning battery-cage chicken farming but there's more to do.
Our farming methods are becoming ever more like those in the U.S. because of the commercial element of farming. It's getting harder to make a buck as a farmer but they have to have limits, there must be a line we simply don't cross. There must be a line that says "we just don't do this to other creatures, no matter what."
Folks, the environment is important and we're trying to change our methods in order to help the place we live in. It's time we made the same effort to change the way the animals we depend on, live. Cruelty is never OK, keeping an animal confined in a space, too small to turn around in, is never OK. Keeping them away from sunlight is never OK and there are many more things we need to change.
