Blog 5: The CAFO System

      Human and animal life only means a chance to experiment on faster ways to develop ecologically because more money, obviously, equals more power.  The system organizes life by taking control of both the workers and the animals.  They manage to create this mindset in a lot of Americans that, "Without a cheap and abundant food supply, many would go hungry.  Why should we care about the welfare of an animal that is going to be slaughtered regardless?"  Our essential relationship with the animals we eat is not predator and prey, meaning, we don't need to eat meat to survive, so this is a false justification for the ill treatment of these animals.  There is and was a better way to raise and kill these animals for the people who chose to eat meat the old-fashioned way.  The system controls the minds of the customers and workers to have a huge disconnection from the animals so that it feels like that is the way things are, the true definition of a "species-ist".  We are led to believe that we are the only species that matter or overpower the others because they are supposedly less intelligent than we are, yet it is illegal for the less intelligent infant to be slaughtered and eaten for breakfast.  The animals are controlled to grow faster beyond their nature or what they can handle physically just for the benefit of these corporations.  The way these CAFOs organize life is so that we have less regard for animal life to the point where we barely have regard for own life, regardless of the damages it causes the ecosystem, we make happiness our number one priority.  It becomes as if it is OK to kill just as long as we're happy doing so. As a result, our culture is divided further and killed from heart disease or poisoned by poorly-produced or handled meat, animals are shackled for their entire lives being tortured and locked up without a glimpse of sunlight and poluution grows larger than ever.
