I actually went to the website and read the article about the factory farming. A friend of mine went to this seminar two nights ago about the whole factory farming thing and she was converted into a vegetarian after she watched a movie about the whole thing. She came back and was very excited to try to convert me too. It is very very sad to think of how they treat the animals especially the de-beaking of the chickens just so they don't peck eachother apart. They throw the weak animals in a pile where they can't do anything to save themselves because they are in such poor conditions. I don't believe that farmers should be that selfish just to make more money. Especially when it affects the animals like it does. Animals don't deserve to be treated badly, even more so because they are helpless and haven't done anything wrong to deserve it. I also have the other side of the spectrum because my dad came from a farm. They raised their own animals and also butchered the animals themselves. So I am totally all about family farms because I know that they don't treat their animals badly. I don't think that I'm going to convert to be a vegetarian, but it's definitely something to be concerned about. SOrry if this blog is totally random and confusing... I'm currently trying to watch Laguna Beach, my new favorite show! See you all in class on Friday!!
