Old MC Donald Friend Or Foe?

Most Americans know the old childhood song Old McDonald had a farm by heart, and generally recognize the meat they eat comes from the happy animals they think live on the farm. The song goes on to describe the animals and their characteristics (ex moo moo. qluck qluck) and gives the false image that these animals are happy and well content going about their business, WRONG! These animals ARE NOT HAPPY AT ALL! They were most likely crying for help. With the conditions the animals have to endure its no wonder why zoonotic diseases like Bird and Swine Flu (H1N1) are spreading among the U.S .The factory farms these animals are sentenced to make mass productions of meat, that are sold all over the U.S to companies like McDonalds ,grocery stores ,and Subway just to name a few. Animals forced into this concentration camp are tortured ,mutilated ,and miserable. Needless to say these animals do not live regular lives grazing ,basking ,or even walking in the sun. Chickens for example usually have a diet of insects and small bugs; on a factory farm these chickens are served yummy antibiotics ,corn , and steroids mmm is int your mouth water for that tasty piece of chicken now? These poor chickens are pumped and plumped to the point that they almost pop. (This explains why you go to the market to buy food and there is a chicken breast the size of your whole hand.) Of course walking and exercise are total out of the question because the chickens legs would break under the pressure of their own weight, but don't worry the chickens are waaay too busy breathing their neighbors oxygen to ever think about moving at that level. The poor pigs bring tears to my eyes. These loving sensitive creatures are out in creates so small and narrow they cannot even lay down in a comfortable position. Image that ,24 hours a day cramped ,stressed ,and tired not being to take at least a short break and lay down even somewhat comfortably.Day after day these precious animals crunch wallow in their waste and dirt not mud ,and are forced to see and smell deceased associates(which puts them under a ton of stress.) And, as if that is not enough all females are put into gestation crates were they are artificially inseminated with sperm .(some may call this rape) I cannot stomach to write what the courageous cows go through. It `ll definitley be a looong time before I eat beef again and when I do it must be grass fed. One may ask , don't we (U.S) have strict regulations for these types of things? The answer would be yes but these laws are not very well implemented and this sort if thing happens so much its hard to fix.Animals have rights too and as humans I feel that it is our duty to help those who cannot help themselves. If we are what we eat and we east sick animals what are we ?
