Some Diseases Spread By Factory Farms Discussion

Since factory farm animals live in such egregious conditions some of these products spread horrible or even deadly diseases. One common is called salmonella which you can get from raw egg and poultry. These diseases could be spread because someone got some cow manure bacteria in their beef burrito, meatballs, or burgers since cows and many other animals have been living in poop all their lives. The symptoms include diarrhea, fever and sever abdominal cramps that lasts for 12-72; hours and your bowel movement may be irregular for 3-4 days. Usually these infections aren’t to sever but in extreme cases if one has a weak immune system the fever and diarrhea can be so strong they can wind up in a hospital.  Other diseases can be developed from salmonella such as Reiter’s syndrome which is a bacterial urinary infection. A couple symptoms of these include swelling and reddening of the joints, sores on palms, mouth and gentiles and iritis, which is inflammation of the iris of the eye. I’ll get into more anatomy and microbiological details in later a discussion. Another type of factory farm spread disease is E. coli.  E. coli is a bacterial disease that creates a toxin that damages the lining of the small intestine creating regular to bloody diarrhea. This bacterial disease come from under cooked or contaminated beef or milk. This disease usually fades in a weak but can life threatening to someone with a weak immune system. Finally another very serious disease is cancer. Recent discoveries show that red meat products can cause breast, coleract and prostate cancer. The cause of cancer from meet is unknown but based on some studies a contributing factor is the amount of nitrogouse compounds in the red meat and how it’s undercooked. Another contributing factor may also be the antibiotics given to the animals that may increase an animal’s hormone level to grow bigger, making cells grow at a rapid rate.

# Chicken, Pig and Cow Living Conditions:

 Animals are packed into cramped spaces where they can barely move and forced to stand in their own waste. Sounds appetizing huh? Beef cows are forced to spend most of their lives out doors in any type of weather condition, and are fed antibiotics to increase their size. They are branded and castrated without any painkillers and are killed when they are about three years old, while a cows natural life span is an average of twenty five years. Some of these cows on beef farms were males who were born and distributed from dairy farms; and were separated from their mothers at three days of age. Young calf’s are made for veal. Since veal is generally known to be a soft tender meat they keep the calves in especially tight cages for six weeks and don’t allow them to run around or get enough exercise to grow their entire short life. Factory farmed chickens are known as broiler chickens. Chickens are stuffed into she , cages or small areas where they are all in close proximity of each other.

 Male chickens are stuffed with antibiotics to make their bodies grow faster very quickly at a young age. The chicken’s body grows so fast that their legs and organs can’t keep up and can result in heart attacks, organ failures, and crippling deformation; if they do not already die of dehydration because they can’t reach the water nozzle. Ultimately when the chickens are 6-7 weeks old they are taken to the slaughter house. They are shackled to like prisoners and their throats are mercilessly slit while they are still conscious and then dipped into scolding hot water to remove their feathers. 2-3 million male chickens die a year in this process, and 9 billion meat product chickens including egg farming die a year.

 Like many factory farmed animals pigs are kept in rows of crates their entire lives, even pregnant pigs are kept in crates that are barely any bigger then their own body. The crates floor are made of slates where the pig waste falls through. So pigs in factory farms live right above their own waste and are exposed to exceedingly high levels of ammonia which may lead to repertory diseases.

Pollution and Deforestation:

 It takes 208.16 pounds of water to make one pound of beef and the average american eats 102.5pounds of meat per year. So all carnivorous Americans consume an average of 21,336 of water from eating beef. And there’s a drought in California already. On top of that factory farms release abundances of methane and other green house gases into the atmosphere that contribute to global warming. And do you know that 18% of pollution comes from factory framing, not from electronics vehicles and other modes of transportation. And do you know what that methane is? It’s cow farts. That’s right people cow farts are beating us. And factory farming is 37% of it. Another big green house gas that factory farms produce are nitrous oxide from growing GMO soy feed. The contribution to this is 65% and nitrous oxide is even worst then methane and does 200 tons per damage compared to CO2. And you want to know what another use is for nitrous oxide laughing gas. And now the clowns of the periodic table are killing us. A big chunk of where most of the nitrous oxide is being made is in the Amazon Rain forest to make feed. 185,587 km2 of land has been deforested in the amazon rain forest has been destroyed with one of the greatest contributors being factory farming, since cattle makes up 40% of brazils income the government allows for this monstrosity to continue and plans to expand even more. So if you switch to a vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian or diet not only will you be saving your own life and the lives innocent animals but you will also be saving the planets life <3.
