It's as bad or worse than factory chicken farms.
During
the hurricanes, someone wrote on Twitter that there was "no need for
the chickens to be drowned, bc on his father's farm they just let them
go and then they returned."
Well, factory farm chickens probably cannot fly and would not survive in open.
The
Covid virus is said to have come from bats which ate mangoes above a
pig sty, infecting the pigs, which were all slaughtered in a early
outbreak on an Indonesian island.
On my way back from Poland in 1969, my sister and I stopped at a business friend of my husband's in Denmark.
He
took us to see his pig farm. He only raised the pigs between a certain
age and a certain age, and then sold them on, within the EU.
It
was housed in a very clean building with real wood (teak?) arched
ceilings or roofs, and looked more like a modern church than a pig sty.
I remember passing through Copenhagen airport again abt 2002, and
seeing teak floors, also lots of teak in Chiangmai B and Bs.
I don't remember anything wet or anything smelling and the pig facility.
The rows of pigs were all head down in the troughs eating, some kind of dry grain mix.
I was surprised at how long their backs were, about 4 feet. Maybe a special breed.
In
Burma, my Karen friend (Karen or Kayin is a minority ethnic group) said
she raised a pig in her bathroom in a flat and kept it so well fed on
scraps, no one even knew it was there. Then they slaughtered it in the
bathroom.
She also said much to her husband's embarrassment, "His mother raised dogs to eat under the house."
A note: Sometimes when I tell people what people told me, they say "Ha! I don't believe you. It can't be."
It matters not to me if you believe me or not. I am definite they told me.
Sometimes
I overheard things abt child abuse or in one case, a mother mentioned
inappropriate behavior, let us say, between her husband and their
teenage daughter.
As I said, you can believe me or not.
My job is to write it down and tell you so you are aware of such things.
