Farm animals and us

Farm Animals and us was a very interesting read. Farm animals are in no doubt capable of intellectual feelings and thought, but these animals are alive solely for the purpose of meat production. They have been genetically altered and bred to have characteristics that give them the most high quality meat and other attributes. We raise animals like this to maximize the meat from a single animal rather than many for the same amount of product. Wild animals have hardship and chaos all the time. We feed and vaccinate and keep these animals alive and healthy, compared to wild animals, a cow in a barn could be safer than a cow in the mountains. Animal rights activists will never be satisfied untill animal production is stopped, but I don't think that is happening soon because the majority of people still eat meat and feel ok about doing so.
