Oh,angry person. For sure,there is plenty of what you call ground-I would say land or pasture-to manage and feed huge numbers of cattle. Nothing wrong with top-up food when needed,but totally relying on grain type stuff? Duh.That has to grow as well,so why not cut out the middle man. Eventually,the system will revert to the good ole fashioned way,when we,the buyers,expect higher standards of care. Battery farming is unpleasant and old hat. Time to switch :) Better meat
How do you explain this.. Antibiotics are routinely given to livestock on factory farms to make them gain weight with less feed and keep them from getting sick in confinement conditions. But the daily dosing, at the same time it lowers feed needs, lowers drug effectiveness and produces antibiotic resistant bacteria or super bugs that can be deadly to people.
Charlie Ford you are so misinformed it’s not funny and I can say if I knew that little about something I would not talk about it. First off antibiotics do not and can not make an animal or person gain weight and especially with less food. Secondly they are only given when needed and only to an animal that is already sick. Thirdly super bugs come from unclean hospitals and people that when they take antibiotics they don’t complete the dosage they stop taking them when they think they are better but in fact they have only partly killed the bacteria in there system and the part that survives becomes resistant to that type of antibiotic. My advice to you is to do a lot more real research on a topic before you go and make yourself look stupid again
no worries. clasic statement by a lady protesting at a slaughter house. why do they have to kill these cows when all we have to do is go to the store and buy the meat. I'll let you figure that one out because I am at a loss.
