Better yet, go pump air from another factory dairy farm like the one proposed into large balloons, a lot of them, then pop them all at once in the council chamber so they can understand what will be laying all over the town all the time for aroma!ChristyACBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396628757148282551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505606180873399339.post-70189600675534013282009-04-02T04:26:00.000-05:002009-04-02T04:26:00.000-05:00I´m happy to say that I live in a country that has...I´m happy to say that I live in a country that has the most powerful animal protection laws in the world. It´s absolutly forbidden to give hormones to our cows and pigs. Antibiotics are only allowed to use when the animal is sic, never before ilness. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps that´s why we have so few CAFO-like places here? Some farmers are ofcourse complaining but most of them think that this is right.<BR/><BR/>Keep on fighting!<BR/>Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505606180873399339.post-54054666941533112862009-04-01T19:48:00.000-05:002009-04-01T19:48:00.000-05:00Oh, and because we misuse antibiotics and are part...Oh, and because we misuse antibiotics and are partially to blame for MRSA - that is why USDA grade beef is illegal in other countries. <BR/><BR/>Yay America.The Three Little Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293720770115453987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505606180873399339.post-17233705016769139952009-04-01T19:47:00.000-05:002009-04-01T19:47:00.000-05:00I often tell people that our meat is actually ille...I often tell people that our meat is actually illegal in other countries. When they ask why, I explain that in other countries - federal regulations only allows them to use no more than 4 to 6 types of antibiotics. Because of this, they are much more careful about their use and usually treat the one sick cow rather than the entire herd.<BR/><BR/>I then ask them to guess how many kinds of antibiotics we are allowed to use in our beef... Nope, not 12, not 24, not even 50. OVER SIXTY-FIVE!!! And they treat the entire herd. By the time the beef reaches our plates - it has been treated an average of 6-12 times with antibiotics.<BR/><BR/>Coorporate agriculture is really the ones responsible for MRSA and antibiotic resistant strains. Not hospitals and doctors as they would have us believe.The Three Little Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293720770115453987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505606180873399339.post-42799186390825065582009-04-01T17:42:00.000-05:002009-04-01T17:42:00.000-05:00A 120 lbs. of poop X 3200 is a lot of poop.
