As factory farms grow in size and number, so do the problems they create, such as increased water and air pollution; fewer markets for independent, pasture-based farmers; public health burdens like antibiotic-resistant bacteria; and large scale food safety risks for consumers.” - Food & Water Watch Executive Director, Wenonah Hauter hsamuelson2425 https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/309930439 If our society doesn’t recognize this issue soon, it will become so bad that the farming industry will never be able to recover.

The problem with Manure is that it generates hazardous air pollutants and contains contaminants that can endanger our health]]> 2018-12-03 18:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310589371 How this can effect humans lerickson2129 https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310594699 Neighbors of factory farms, as well as the workers in them, often suffer intensely from overwhelming odors and related headaches, nausea and other long-term health effects. Even people thousands of miles away from these facilities are not immune to their impacts. Consumers eating the dairy, egg and meat products from factory farms can be exposed to food born bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, as well as to the public health consequences of unchecked use of antibiotics.]]> 2018-12-03 19:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310594699 Some federal laws that were put in place to help farm animals are: hsamuelson2425 https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310594749
  • Horse Protection Act (HPA)- prohibits horses subjected to the cruel practice of soaring from participating in shows, sales, exhibitions, and auctions
  • Humane Slaughter Act (HSA)- is designed to protect food animals just prior to and during their moment of slaughter
  • Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA)- allows, licensed meat inspectors to enforce the HSA

Pigs and other farmed animals are the primary consumers of water in the U.S.— a single pig may require up to 5 gallons of drinking water per day. mpecho2373 https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310600488 2018-12-03 19:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310600488 Animals are mutilated to adapt them to factory farm conditions. This includes cutting off the beaks of chickens and turkeys and amputating the tails of cows and pigs. mpecho2373 https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310602162 This was often done in an unsanitary environment causing diseases and viruses to spread throughout the other animals.]]> 2018-12-03 19:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310602162 In addition to preventive medicines, animals are fed hormones and antibiotics to promote faster growth. mpecho2373 https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310602603 2018-12-03 19:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/310602603 Family farms lerickson2129 https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/311083175 Most farmers have not benefited from the shift to factory farming. The number of dairy, hog and beef cattle producers in the United States has declined sharply over the last 20 years as the meatpacking, processing and dairy industries have driven farmers to increase in scale. The tiny handful of companies that dominates each livestock sector exerts tremendous control over the prices that farmers receive.]]> 2018-12-04 19:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/311083175 Pros of Family Farming mpecho2373 https://padlet.com/hsamuelson2425/hfsdscrb4npn/wish/311083701 Family farms don’t pollute the environment as much as factory farms because there are no harmful chemicals being released. The factory farms also have a lot of technology, while family farms use natural resources. The animals of family farms are free range and not under the influence of unnatural chemicals. Although both farms send animals to slaughter house, the family farm animals are treated more like animals and less like machines

Since there are less chemicals used, there is less bacteria and diseases being transmitted to the consumers.
