Blog Five: The CAFO System

Human life and animal life are both non-important when it comes CAFO's. CAFO's stands for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. Workers in these factory farms are usually immigrants, which are considered as "UN-skilled workers". Animals are continuously abused and than slaughtered just to produce meat. Workers are put to work in such horrible surroundings and positions and yet are getting paid minimum wage. Hardly enough to even take care of themselves and there families. I Believe that there are ways for this to be stopped, because meat isn't something that we all need to eat to survive, it is just something that people are use to eating on a daily basis. These meats that are making a large amount of people sick each year. They spray toxic on these animals that we are eating .. feed these animals OTHER animals .. and feed these animals there own manure. This meat is poorly taken care of after they are slaughtered and fed to us. The government that we live in knows about these conditions and what it does to people but yet it still goes on today.
