At the risk of being branded a left-wing radical, I have to say that I don't think most of you have much knowledge of factory farms. I'm not saying that I agree with everything on the site, but I think there's a lot of things going on at factory farms that you might not like. Let's take factory hog farms, for example: I know someone who works at a big hog farm. The sows are kept constantly breeding. As soon as they've weaned one litter, they're immediately impregnated. Now, here's the kicker: If, after the sows are pregnant (because of market conditions, or whatever) they don't need more pigs, they will give the sows an injection that causes them to abort. Do you think that's right, to treat an animal as nothing more than a piglet factory? In North Carolina, factory hog farms have become a real problem, poisioning streams and estuaries with their sewage. We're not talking about a few hundred hogs, these operations raise thousands of hogs a year, and that's a lot of manure to dispose of. Certainly most farmers try to raise livestock in a humane fashion. But how can you make a profit when your competition is a huge corporation that is only interested in the bottom line? OK, flame away.
