In unity, let’s dream a future in which the factory farming that has made animals suffer becomes a history we can talk about with a smile on our faces, where the very same animals are weeping over their own suffering that happened long ago, and where the health of individuals and of the planet is among the main priorities of all of us. Farming is one of the major ways to produce our meals in the world; however, the system brings some bad consequences. For example, the pain animals experience is simply unbearable. They live in tight, overcrowded spaces, which means they can’t express their natural behaviors and worse still, they are subjected to innumerable instances of excruciating pain. The farming of animals is not only the reason for animals to suffer but also the environment and health appear on the radar. Overuse of antibiotics in cattle contributes to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which pose a threat to human health. Animals like cows are also a source of pollution in the water due to the release of harmful chemicals. On the other hand, the ushering of animal agriculture through deforestation activities and climate change through the massive emission of greenhouse gases is the domineering issue.
