Dear Blog reader:

I support agriculture 150% however I don’t support the living conditions some of these animals have to undergo. Factory farms are one of my main concerns. Thousands and thousands of animals are forced to live in inhumane conditions, where they’re often in pain or neglected. I see this issue as a very serious one, which requires attention immediately. These animals need an advocate.

I took it upon myself to speak for these animals, which would otherwise have no voice. I created a blog in order to get the message out, and for people to become aware of what’s actually going on in the world. The high level of internet use by this generation is incredible; this is why I chose to create a social networking site. Since I created my blog, I’m near 100 page views.  The information I provide on my blog gives you advice on how to change this trend of factory farming. I also provide evidence of how these factory farms are running.

My blog has made a positive impact on who has viewed it. I provide facts and evidence on these living situations. I’ve been able to inform and teach people about the factory farming industry. I plan to regularly update my blog, until we get factory farming under control. You deserve the right to know where your food is coming from.

You can do a few things in order for you to personally make a difference in these animals lives. When selecting your eggs at the supermarket, choose wisely. Make sure you look for a certified welfare by a recognized scheme such as free range, or organic. Labels such as "farm fresh" or "country fresh" are nothing you want to buy, ensure the label says "free range" or "organic". By supporting causes like this, your showing the factory farming industry you don't support it, and it is no longer accepted. Changing our consumer habits will change the pain and suffering for these animals, and will diminish away factory farming.

YOUR JOB

Now that you know how some of these animals are being treated, what are you going to do? How are you going to speak for them? To start off with, simple changes like buying local can create a huge impact. Buying local foods allow you to truly know where your food is coming from, and you're allowed to see how those animals are being raised. Other measures like writing to your congressional representatives will also give them a better understanding of where their food is coming from. Take precautions when you're buying your meat, find out where it comes from and how it's being treated while raised. Together, we can make a change in their world.

Working to Protect Farm Animals

Most people are uninformed about the topic of factory farming. Most people would agree on the first picture, when they think of raising farm animals. A plethora of farmers do provide humane living conditions like seen in the first picture above. However, there are still a large number of factory farms continuing to grow. We need to work on informing the public about how animals are actually being treated, and how they can help to change the living conditions for these animals. If we work together, we can make a change. These animals don't have a voice to speak for themselves, so they rely on us to raise the standard of their living situations.

As the word is spreading about the production of calves, the more information is being made available to the public about this disgusting topic. Luckily, organizations are being formed in order to inform those who were otherwise in the dark about this issue, and to stop processing of factory farms. Organizations such as ASPCA has many different ways we can stop factory farms. Another great organization trying to help end factory farming is the Humane Society, they're doing wonderful things in order to change the conditions farm animals are currently having to live in.

Life cycle.

After looking at this, how does it make you feel? Sadly enough, thousands of calves are raised like this each year. However, there are certain causes and organizations in order to try to help these animals, that would otherwise have no voice.
