Honestly, this website talking about factory farming is kind of scary. The city that I'm from is known for having quite a few farms around town. Some of these include tobacco farms and several other family owned farms. Many of my friend's parents rely on the income they get from selling their products in order to make money. Therefore, it is very scary to think that maybe shortly in the future, factories will try to buy these farms and land out in order to demand more food and more animals. The entire town would lose its small-city feel and I don't want that at all. What's even more scary, however, is the fact that this is happening in so many areas already. So much of our food is no longer family owned and grown. Most of our food comes from these big farms that demand a certain amount (typically a large amount) of output in order to make a lot of money. All of the antibiotics that the companies put in the feed is probably getting into humans when we eat the animals. That cannot be healthy for humans. Overall, people need to stop supporting factory farms and demand that our food be returned back to family grown in order to save ourselves and the precious lives of the animals that are being affected by these machine-like companies.
