Factory Farm Presentation

The presentation today had some extremely disturbing facts and figures. I was shocked by the conditions in which animals can be treated among factory farms. The farms do not have to comply to animal cruelty laws due to loopholes in the system that cater to the farms and not the animals, the system works against animal ethics and for the monetary benefits of the companies and corporations that produce the animal products from said animals. In order to combat such issues we can become vegetarian or vegan and save 40 to 50 animals per year and ultimately 3500 in a lifetime. This was a shocking figure, even as a vegetarian I finally felt the gravity of the meat eating situation in America.
