I find it… darkly amusing that these CAFO operations will have signs about “Biosecurity” at their driveways but … it never seems to amount to much.

We shut down all traffic between farms and all personnel;

Something that, maybe, shoulda been done before cross contaminating each location.

“They all have families and unfortunately, they’re going to be impacted by our inability to keep everybody employed as we rebuild our farm,” Hickman said.

I like the use of the word “they’re” and not “we’re”. At least they’re being honest.

NOOOO wtf they were only supposed to die after 20 months of torture I am so sad about this information

I’m sort of used to the horror of these factory farms, more in the sense of how senselessly evil capitalism is. Like, you cure capitalism and the other stuff can be more easily righted.

But I keep thinking about how what used to be confined to death factories and poor peoples’ water supplies is radially spreading out from there and just killing every living thing in the background, whether native birds populations, penguins, or mammals. And more and more people just out and about in general.
