[QUOTE="KMacGinley, post: 300676, member: 3175"] I have been studying this thread off and on for a while and I want to contribute. Why are people that raise their animals with freedom, exercise and sun on their shoulders defending the greedy factory farm industry? When I was a kid, everyone had about 40 sows around here, and paid for their farms and their kids college education by raising hogs in woodlots and pastures. Sows did last for years back then, instead of till the age of 3 with worn out joints and crippling arthritis. Small towns were vibrant because of the money that was spread out between all the producers and there was more of them. There is only one reason for confinement concentration camps for animals and that is greed. It doesn't matter whether we are talking about dairy, pork or poultry. Why do you guys want the owners of smithfield farms to become richer? I personally think that we should raise animals more humanely and I also think that more and more people all the time are considering how there animals that they eat were raised. Most confinement sows today are kept in gestation crates continuously until they go to a farrowing crate. That is just wrong. I haven't even touched the subject of the environmental nightmares those facilities cause or the joy of living near one. [/QUOTE]
