A Thorough View of the Devastation Caused by Factory Farms
Factory farms are almost everywhere around the world and the negative consequences of raising animals this way are becoming more evident. A new 163-page report titled "What's on Your Plate: The Hidden Costs of Industrial Animal Agriculture in Canada" shows clearly the terrible impacts of Canada's industrial animal agriculture practices. Among the issues addressed in the report are: poultry waste fed to cattle, pigs pumped with growth-promoting antibiotics and mounds of manure dumped in ditches that lead to incredibly high costs to public health, the environment and rural community development.
To read the report please visit What's on Your Plate: The Hidden Costs of Industrial Animal Agriculture in Canada:

WhatsonYourPlate_FullReport.pdfWe need to realize that God’s creation cannot continue to suffer such abuse in our hands. The time has come for each of us to do our part in healing this world. But healing cannot occur unless we stop exploiting God’s animals as if there were not consequences for it. After all, we should never forget that we reap what we sow.
