This is a huge issue and contributes to global warming, the pollution of our waters, and so much more. It is seldom discussed as a valid subject that needs to be addressed. I believe factory farming does more harm to the global community than the NRA and fossil fuel producers. But big AG has a hold on our politicians so nothing is ever going to be done to stop it.
It is pathetic that some find this amusing.
There is nothing amusing about it.
