Factory farms are devastating for the environment by polluting air,
water and soil. An investigation in the state of Georgia exposed the
minimal oversight of factory farm practices and the lack of enforcement
of environmental regulations. The Georgia Environmental Protection
Division (EPD) more often than not chooses not to fine factory farms as
clearly shown in a three-year review of regulatory documents stating
that the EPD cited five farms among the 152 large farms it is supposed
to inspect for the federal government and only assessed one fine — of
$3,750 — during that time, even though many were found to dump manure in
fresh water reservoirs. To learn more please visit Factory farms rarely

News like this one should make all of us feel outraged for the way we
are destroying our only home, God’s Creation. However, it seems that not
only do most people ignore the matter but continue supporting industries
that abuse God’s animals, destroy the environment and bring sickness. We
cannot claim to be followers of Jesus Christ when our actions and
choices clearly go against his teachings of stewardship.
