In this blog i will discuss the torture of animals. I will use a video from "Farm To Fridge" by Mercy of Animals. The animals are being tortured on the farm by some male workers.The tail of several cows were cut off without administering any medication at all, they were left to bleed with their injury.
Young boar pigs were taken and slammed to the ground so as to die because they take longer to grow for consumption.Male baby ckicks were killed in such a cruel manner by hitting against the ground by worker because they do not lay eggs..
It is noteworthy to say all of this is being done on farms today in America so, that the Corporation can make more profit In the case with the cows it was fond for the workers.

The CAFO Concern.
In this blog i will discuss the Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO)I will use The CAFO Reader by Daniel Imhoff. Imhoff , says since fast food restaurants are expanding,there is a greater demand for meat. Hence the CAFO system was implemented in 1950,the main reason is to produce meat at a faster rate.
The animals are given antiobiotics to increase their growth. So the old system of rearing animals in open pasture cease to exist. They cannot compete with CAFO, for it is too costly and takes longer to produce meat for the market.
The CAFO operation is not without controversy, the animals are raised in confinement in large quantity.They hardly move around and sits on their feces and urine throughout their growth.

In this blog I will discuss the CAFO system. In the book The CAFO reader, written by Daniel Imhoff. It say, that since fast food restaurants are expanding there is a greater demand for meat, hence the CAFO system was implemented. The transition began in 1950, the primary reason is to produce meat at a faster rate, the animals will be confined and given antibiotics to increase their growth. So the older system, was depleted. No more raising of animals in pastures. It is too costly and takes longer to produce meat for consumption. The CAFO system is not without controversy. Lmhoff
