animal confinement
Just to get this out there and I guess to give youo an idea of why animals such as pigs, chickens, and even some times dairy cows are in confinement situations. Pigs pretty much have to be, 100%, confined. I dont agree with this really either because they never see the outside world during their entire being, but their in confinement for a big reason. If you eat pork this would concern you more than if you dont. Pigs are very suceptible to disease which is why they are in confinement where the chance of them getting a disease is not that likely. People do not want to eat pork from a diseased animal in fact animals that have diseases cant be butchered. Chickens have to be confined, I mean how else is there a way to keep track of 15,000 chickens or more. Its not totally the right thing to due but right now in this day and age there is no other way. If there is please tell me. Dairy cows can spend alot of time in a barn or no time except when milking. Dairy cows are extremely pampered. They get all the feed and water they want, they live in some of the cleanest barns and its all for one reason, Sanitation. They may tie their tails up but it is so that they dont get manure on the udders which could possibly get into the milk that you drink. Everything is for a reason, even though we may not agree with it. But if you extremely disagree to the point where you are protesting and being an activist then i suggest that you quit protesting and come up with a better way that animals should be raised. When you think about it and you think about the sanitation, and disease. its hard to come up with a better way to keep these animals. Sure Pigs could have way bigger pens, but when you raise over 2000 pigs plus the offspring it would cost to much to make pens like that. There is some much to consider when righting about animal confinement. But i wish both Ashley and Amanda the best of luck with it.
