This is a veg and animal rights forum. Don't post some joke about bacon.

2. Why do we allow China to buy up our farms

"Roughly half of the approximately 350,000 acres of U.S. farmland owned by Chinese entities is represented by Smithfield's more than 400 company-owned hog farms and 43 plants, according to federal data."

What control do we have over these farms and corporations owned by foreign entities?

3. They are required to follow all US laws as well as state and local laws, wherever they're located.

Unfortunately the laws falls seriously short of compassionate treatment, and enforcement is notoriously lax.

4. Well, that's good to know they are required to

Observe our laws and regulations.

Yeah, the abuse of farm animals in the US, especially these giant factory farms of chickens and pigs, is horrible.

5. Grotesquely true. Like McCartney said, if slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a veg.

Same goes for the rest of the factory farming situation. Almost all my donations go to fighting that; we desperately need stronger activism, legislation and enforcement.
