(8,217 posts)Oh, yeah, I agree that they do create an incredible strain.
I'm not quite sure what the best option for something like that would be at this point in time.
For things to change, it requires a hell of a lot of things working in tandem.
One thing I do recommend for that website, is not just mention the problems and asking for a study in the animals' well being and psychology, but they need to come up with what they think would be viable alternatives, and a way to get there.
It is one thing to call to a problem, which is important, but it is another to suggest how to make things better.
If it is in that site, it needs to be more prominent.
The truth of the matter is, the US is a country of meat eaters, and other countries such as China is developing a bigger taste for meat.
Figuring out sustainability and better practices is a must.
If possible, I would love the idea of helping out and subsidizing Kosher and Halal farms and practices. There is a reason for the things they are doing, and it is usually about sustainability.
