CITED BIBLIOGRAPHY

"It is in the context of these qualities—qualities that constant interaction with animals make impossible to ignore—that the psychological "benefit" of factory farming becomes clear. Its impersonal, highly rationalized structure is designed to protect those involved from the emotional consequences of killing" (McWilliams). The killing of these animals is not considered murder because these corporations sugar coat the reality of what it really is.

BLOG FIVE: THE CAFO SYSTEM

To me, human and animal life means nothing to the CAFO system. the animals are breed to be nothing but waist and food. Humans are treated like crap , they hire illegal immigrants who were falsed advertised into thinking that they will recieve a better life in the U.S, when really they come into factory farming life making less then minimum wage and they struggle to get by. The workers get drugs from there bosses only to work harder and when the animals are fed and then slaughtered whatever gets sent to the stores we eat and in the long run pay for it all.  The system organizes life artificially I say artificially because it's made, it's fake not organic. Through steroids antibiotics and steady streams of subsidized industrial feeds our food is made. I believe the organization of this doesn't matter 50 years ago we didn't have factory farming the way it is now and we were perfectly fine. The mass production of factory farming evolved into what I call murder. There is no right way to slaughter an animal pack it up and ship it off to a deli or supermarket but there is noway I can say getting joy out of abusing these animal slaughtering them with joy is not murder. Abusing the animals is one thing eventually they are put down and sent off but when they are alive waiting to be executed and just fed there daily steroids and food to get bigger the conditions of this life pays a price on us. The animals get sick ecoli can get through there systems and when we buy this meat and we eat it we can get sick and we will die there is no cure for ecoli. This system is corrupt there are no good things that come out of it. Animals get slaughtered physically they are in a prison waiting there execution when d-day comes thats the end of the road for them. Us humans get slaughtered mentally with hardworking labor drug addiction and bad income takes a toll. Both animals and humans pay a price for the system, a life threatening one.
