Factory Farms Are Devastating For God’s Creation
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.

http://www.ajc.com/news/factory-farms-rarely-cited-1197012.htmlNews 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.
