Update On The Issue of Caring For Animals In Production Farms

Have you become unsensitized to the foods you eat? Do you know where your food comes from? The American Food Industry is the most harmful to the health of workers, the animals, the land, air and water, and thus

America is the only Cannibalistic Feeding country in the world. Mad cow disease and more.

The problem in America occurs when all the animal waste run-off contaminates every other food production of vegetable crops, etc.

What Will Turn You Into A Vegetarian? There may be a day when you will have no choice as our environment changes. The alternative media provides vegetarian diet recipes, discusses the problems with growing protein foods to our environment and warns of the health outcomes when maintaining a meat diet. While, we do not generally get headline news from mainstream media to sway people to go for "Meatless Monday" or learn about the devastation to environmentally fragile land masses and water contamination from farming practices in order to produce the nation's meat.

So, we might consider reading, "Food shortages could force world into vegetarianism" on The Guardian in their Global News section shocking. Scientists conclude that due to a projected world water shortage and an increase in population to 9 billion people by the year 2050, growing meat will be unsustainable. As if it is not unsustainable now, it certainly would be impossible at the projected rates.

The article stresses the need for food provisions, yet, even more concern might be placed upon the water shortages. Without water, there is no life. As our waterways become contaminated with run off, pesticides, insecticides, radioactive fallout, Giardia and other parasites, chemical wastes, animal effluent and antibiotics and other drugs, we won't have enough clean fresh water for everyone.

Growing food requires clean water to make safe edible food. Approaching a water shortage by the numbers indicates that growing grains takes much less water than animal products; and also can preserve the natural landscapes, rather than to cut down the rainforests, which hold the water closer to the earth and provide moist filters to our air system and supports the world water cycle.

"Nine hundred million people already go hungry and 2 billion people are malnourished in spite of the fact that per capita food production continues to increase," they said. "With 70% of all available water being in agriculture, growing more food to feed an additional 2 billion people by 2050 will place greater pressure on available water and land."

HuffingtonPost has a new article on Vegetarianism

by Victoria Moran

Famous people who eat sprouts: Dr. Gupta of CNN, Twitter cofounder Biz Stone (#10), Apple's Steve Jobs (#2) and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

If not for environmental, spiritual or personal reasons, you may not want to watch this horrendous treatment of animals that are born into a life of suffering to put a meal on your table.

WARNING: This is very hard to watch. These treatments are in violation of dignity of life. I am wondering how these workers either do not go insane, or how they can continue to do these actions or go home to their families?

The video originally in this space was removed.

You may watch on YouTube It has been deemed age-restricted due to the violent nature of watching blood pouring from a cow hanging upside down and the other violence toward animals.

The video that all meat-eaters should watch and every vegetarian should own, "Meet Your Meat," narrated by Alec Baldwin, covers each stage of life of animals raised for food.

April 8, 2013 NY Times| Meat and Antibiotics

Farmers who raise animals to feed people routinely give these 'healthy' animals antibiotics.

FACTS:

In 2011, drugmakers sold nearly 30 million pounds of antibiotics for livestock — the largest amount yet recorded and about 80 percent of all reported antibiotic sales that year.
Antibiotics are often fed to animals at low levels to make them grow faster and to suppress diseases that arise because they live in dangerously close quarters on top of one another’s waste.
The old medical model thinking says, "Giving medication preemptively is preventative care." Rather than clean up a sick, polluted, unhealthy environment, give a pill. Even to humans who have chronic disease, 'the pill' becomes the solution to all problems, without telling truthfully, that 'the pill' only compounds the problems.
The FDA is 'impotent' just as it has cause sterilization of the environment, leading to increased sterilization in species eating modified crops, sprayed with pesticides. Fear prevents FDA from taking action on disclosure, documentation and data collection and dissemination of antibiotic usage in farm animals.

Comment by Vaikunthanath das Kaviraj. on October 12, 2009 at 12:42pm: I used to be a chicken butcher in my younger years. Killed 12 million of them. One day as I was hanging the chooks by the feet on the conveyor belt, I suddenly realised what i was doing. I pushed over the cages with chickens, opened them and let all the chooks out. The entire factory stopped and everyone went chicken hunting. LOL. I was 16 at the time.
I went to the personnel dept and demanded my money. I stopped eating meat and never had another piece since. I know how it is made......

Comment by I.J.SWAMY on October 27, 2009 at 3:29am: While in Army I had watched the Gorkha Regiment celebrating Dussehra . The celebrations include "MAHABALIDAN" English for "great sacrifice". Sheep about 100 are herded at an open place . One after another a sheep is dragged and beheaded whie the other sheep watch in fear. The half beheaded ones wriggle in pain and die. No more comments

Comment by Tikva Sasson on November 9, 2009 at 7:45am: I have been a vegetarian since the age of 10 !

Comment by Veeraraghavan A.R. on April 30, 2011 at 11:03am: Everybody, at least all the members our HWC, must see these videos.
Mr. I.J Swamy narrated a scene in Army. Actually non-vegetations eat feared animals meat. That is why they absorbed their inability.

Comment by Anna Lubaszka on August 21, 2012 at 2:39pm: This is one of the main reasons why I do not consume meat or most animal products. To treat animals this inhumanly is unconscionable.
