Part of the problem is everyone is entitled to your opinion. If not your opinion on farming well then they are wrong. You read thousands of articles that say the same thing and you have not one second of your time to admit that might not be the whole story. You don't read anything that isn't of the slant that factory farming is horrible so your opinion is so skewed from what is really going on in farming that yes I find it . exasperating.

You make blanket statements about an entire industry as if you know for certain that this is what is going on all across America and it's nonsense. You may not agree with large numbers of animals being factory farmed but here are some facts, those animals are not abused on a wide scale. It's counter productive. Abused animals don't breed back, they don't eat like they should and they won't make milk. In other words if they were truly abused the problem is over in short order because the farmer will be broke. You can say you think they should be munching clover in a pasture somewhere rather then being fed a total ration from a trough but that isn't what you say. You say if they aren't munching organic clover then they are being abused and that is just wrong.

But it does no good to argue with you because as I've stated you read hundreds of articles that give one very narrow view and you believe that is gospel and the one and only way. Since I not only read articles and have taken courses with our ag extension offices and at our ag college in Ashland and of course 45 years of actually being around farming and farm animals I find your narrow view that all of us that aren't certified organic are abusing animals to be maddening as hell.
