Re: Fw : EPA exempts toxic gases at farms from environmental regs - BostonHerald.com

[Guest guest]

Some " farms " where they farm chickens, pigs and cows produce HIGHLY

toxic levels of gases like hydrogen sulfide..methane, etc.. that can

be measured miles away..

Also, anything involving killing or dying things will involve MANY

products of putrefaction.. not just mold..

Also, the nitrogen pollutes the groundwater, (wells) and the hormones

they feed them probably does too..

Not something you would want your children drinking!

Fecal waste is always a nightmare for health.. But even wood or leaf

composting is problematic.. the problems are with aspergillus

fumigatus, thermophilic actinomycetes, beta glucans and products of

putrefaction such as MVOCs..

They can cause aspergillosis, and other invasive mycoses.. Look up the

mess in Islip, LI.

Let's call them industrial feed lot's, those aren't farms. big

difference. this is what happens because of greedy industries who

take away real farmers means of liveing to get rich from consumers

while they slowly kill us with their nasty meat. :{ no one cared

about the farners back than so I guess the consumers get what they

deserve. it's not going to change unless people stop buying that

nasty stuff at the stores and start demanding home grown,pasture

raised meat. farm's are not a nuisence, they are actually quite

beautiful and peaceful. if you've never been on a farm, you have no

idea what your missing.

I agree with you 100%

People want meat and they want it cheap. You are sort of describing

how distant the huge meat

farming operations have become from the image most

of us visualize when we think of farms. Sometimes they employ a lot of

people (they need to be employed

near where the animals are slaughtered.) In a lot of those

communities, they are major employers.

You can't export those jobs when the animals are farmed here.. the

processing has to be near the animals..

The labor costs are driving a trend towards importing already

processed meat in a lot of places..

In many countries its my understanding that imported meat is often

higher in antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria than meat from

domestic production.

Thats, to me one of the scariest aspects of factory farming.. their

use of antibiotics and sometimes, banned drugs.. (or drugs that aren't

nbanned but which should be..)

Also, nervous/spinal tissue that could harbor prion diseases whch

shouldn't be in meat for human consumption often ends up in it.

Mile after mile of feces and animals in bad health,

given drugs to suppress what might otherwise happen when they were treated

like that until they are killed to become our food.

Animals that are sick being slaughtered and sold for human food when

they shouldn't be. Animals that never eat meat themselves in the wild

being fed meat byproducts.. (parts of other animals of the same

species.. i.e. animal cannibalism) to bulk them up.. I don't think

that should be allowed..

But.. they are farms. Legally, they are farms.
