If your factory or business produces too many widgets, you will be stuck with extra inventory, affecting your bottom line. As a result, you will need to make key decisions; a course correction, a change in policy, and the development of a few innovative strategies. This is how most American entrepreneurs and company executives operate. However, if you’re in the factory farm business and you have an excess production, you can have high-level elected officials ask the federal government for tax dollars to bail you out. At the tune of 200 million tax dollars, the Obama Administration and the USDA provide government welfare to factory farms. Click here for details.
The governors of Nebraska, Colorado, Michigan, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Illinois and Oklahoma regularly ask for factory farm bailouts. Instead of leading their states into new and alternative plant-based food economies, these governors remain entrenched in government entitlements supporting industries that making a living out of torturing and killing millions of innocent, living, feeling beings.

Even if you are sympathetic to the production of farmed animals, factory farms pose a real danger to our communities, our natural resources and the livelihood of hardworking family farmers who dedicate their lives to raising poultry and livestock in ways that safeguard our air, water and public health. With so many farmers struggling in this tough economy, the last thing they need is to have the Obama Administration and USDA funneling money to factory farms.
Ending factory farms is not only the human thing to do, it makes sense for the future of the United States. Just as we are moving towards green energy industries, our elected leaders should be promoting plant-based alternative industries to feed America.
