Farmers Abuse Their Animals

The very idea sends me into orbit. In any industry you will find a few bad players, and agriculture is not immune. But, consider this, why would a farmer abuse his or her animals when those animals are the source of his livelihood? That’s just nuts. It may be a marketing ploy, there there is a lot of truth to the statement that “Our milk comes from contented cows.” Contented cows are going to produce more milk than cows that are stressed, neglected, starved or otherwise treated ill, and farmers know it. The same goes for any other food animal.
