Food Paper

When we think of farms, we think of pigs, cows, chickens and other animals out in the ground eating their food outside in the fresh air, and being treated with care, since those animals will eventually become the food we will eat. That is nothing but a 'lie we tell ourselves where our food come from' (meatrix), in most farm the animals are cooped with each other with hardly any space to freely walk around, which can cause them to hurt each other from the lack of space, and also cause diseases, a way farmers try to decrease this problem, for example, they chopped off the beaks of chickens to prevent them from hurting each other, and they also give me a constant dose of antibiotics which can lead to development of antibiotic-resistant diseases. The workers treat them so harshly, like when the chickens, they high them up by the feet, and slit their throats even while being conscious. With the baby chick they throw them into boxes all on top of each other, which hurt the ones on the bottom, and they de-beak them at such a young age, and for the ones who look bad, they're throw away.
