Industry Farming

In industrialized farming they have a unnaturally large quantities of animals in very close proximity. The main animals for these factory farming are cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys, but it is also applied to sheep, goats, rabbits, and poultry. These metal walls are keeping these animals indoors with no sunlight or fresh air. They de-beak chickens and turkeys, and dock the tails of pigs and cows to have them adapt to factory farm conditions. The pens and cages are so small that they restrict the normal behavior and movement from the animals. They give the animals doses of antibiotics regularly to prevent diseases bred by unnatural and unsanitary conditions. Also the animals are given hormones and antibiotics to promote faster growth. The excessive weight from these animals can pollute the air and water.
What we can do to prevent this is start buying our food from smaller sustainable farms. There they won’t sacrifice the health of our land or the quality of our food just to make more money. When you buy locally more of the money goes directly to the farmers because less go to the transportation.
