Industrialized farming

Farming really has changed over the last few decades. Some of the changes are industry in the farming business and the treatment of farm animals in the business. 98% of animals killed are birds, chickens,and turkeys. 95% of eggs come from egg factories where chickens are crowded in small cages. Broiler farms are where male chicks are raised to be genetically altered for more meat. In Hog farms piglets are taken away from their mothers and their body parts are ripped out including their tails, teeth, and testicles without pain relief. Most Sows are used for breeding until they can not reproduce and are slaughtered. Cows are breeding so that the farmers can get more milk. Eventually the cows and bulls can not reproduce and are slaughtered for beef. What the farmers feed the animals is another issue. What the farmer feeds the animals is not healthy for them. The animals have to eat grass, worms, and other things from the wild. The problem is that the farmer needs the land for plantation. And the reason for all of this is to make money. On these farms pollution can happen and diseases including ammonia and irritating gases from manure pits. Hogs also have respiratory disease. But antibiotics are used to make sure the animals are healthy so they do not get sick from the food the farmer gave them. So the industry of farming has changed but we might want to make it fair for the animals by feeding them the right food and put them in a more comfortable environment.
