Well, I sure dont disagree with farming.... farming is necissary for food and sustinace for the world. Not only that, but its been going on for decades and decades. Some farmers may be cruel to their animals, but most aren't.
In fact I have never seen a farmer mistreat an animal, not even those which are brought up for slaughter. Some people think slaughtering animals is bad... but meat is necissary in the human diet. Meat is the most natural way of getting animal fat proteines and other essential vitamins and minerals.
I think if anyone here disagrees with farming, its got to be because of those few farmers that shouldnt be in the farming business. Some people arent meant to be around animals.
Humans eat meat by nature as well as many other creatures on this earth. We just came up with a way to not distroy complete ecosystems to get this meat, hence a farm. Just think if everyone had to hunt for their food... by this year, there would be no wild animals left. Farming is good, so long as its done as humanely as possible.
I do see where you are coming from though anonomous, there are alot of vegetarians/vegans that are against farming just because the animals are captive. Dont let that discourage you if you are a farmer though. We need people to farm animals for feed, theres no way the entire human race would eat vegies only. Farmers do, do good things for this world.
