Can You Still Eat THEM?



We might be happy that we could purchase meat from the market at an instant. Not like the people from the past that they would hunt animals and that is the only time that they would have something to eat. But did you know what’s behind all those meat being sold in the market? Capitalists conquer a part of a land, most likely from agricultural places, and convert it into farms of pigs, cows, chickens, etc. they’ll make a barn where they will collect and breed those kinds of animals that will be slaughtered and be sold in the market. It may sound that they are doing just fine but what we don’t know is that there are negative effects that our mother earth would suffer.

Some farms treat their animals bad. They inject antibiotics to the animals so that they would be healthy for the market. Yes, they would be healthy but when the antibiotics are over used, the animals might get sick. It would be bad for the people consuming the goods from the market. It could lead to diseases like Madcow disease and AH1N1. It might also lead to epidemic to the society, and worst to the whole world.

A farm would not only occupy only few animals. It would occupy about a thousands of them. With those numbers of animals, we could say that the waste coming from them is also massive. Where does the waste of the animals go to? The drainage might lead to a body of water like river. It will contaminate and pollute the water and will not be safe to drink. Come think of it that one farm will have a thousand of animals. How many farms are there in the world? It’s up to you to find out how massive the waste it produces and will pollute our environment. It will also destroy communities.

The life of the people working in the farms would also be in danger. They are working in a dangerous working condition. Their health is in danger; our planet’s life is in jeopardy
