Poor Factory Farming Is Contributing to E. Coli Illness, Environental Pollution, and Inhumane Treatment of Animals

Editor Roberts of the American Journal of Cardiology stated, "When you kill an animal and eat it, its physical, chemical and harmful substances are never human, so will eventually kill us." 2). Feeding animals' foods on factory farms and processing them can adversely affect human health. "Because of these intensive animal rearing operations (CAFO), not only are the dangerous influenza virus mutated, we are also exposed to other very serious bacteria and pathogens" (Freston 2).

Industrial agriculture is a modern agricultural practice that produces animals on a large scale to meet human food consumption. In a small space on the farm, many farm animals are raised to preserve food to minimize operating costs on farms. However, in addition to providing rich human food, factory agriculture is an unhealthy agricultural practice for both humans and the environment. Industrial agriculture causes serious pollution problems, animal treatment methods are inhumane, and occupy the market and constrain business opportunities of traditional farms and their workers. Therefore, I strongly support the prohibition of factory agriculture. I will explain my opinion in the following article.

The factory farm is an unhealthy and stressful working environment. Workers are exposed to exposure to atmospheric pollutants from factory farms, such as molds carrying particulate matter, animal dander and pathogens. Exposure to pollutants in the air may cause respiratory diseases, in fact one in four pigs' confinement workers suffer from chronic bronchitis. They are also surprisingly dangerous workplaces. In 2016, six of the 100 workers in the animal production industry reported labor-related injuries and illnesses. Tyson Meat Packaging Plant calculated average monthly cuts during the first nine months of 2015. Within the county, regulations to prevent workplace industries have not kept pace with the rapid growth of factory farms. In Idaho province, two people died in 2016 because the workers were trapped in the lagoon and were drowned. In both cases, Federal regulators fined $ 5,000 at a dairy farm.
