I chose Agriculture. To be specific, Department of Agriculture (USDA). Then I clicked on Animal and plant health inspection services (APHIS). Popular topics are animal health, animal welfare, biotechnology, emergency response, imports & exports, international services, plant health, and wildlife damage. As I type the popular topics, I totally feel that this department is a joke. Animals are still being mistreated, animals are still not being killed in a humane way, all poultry is still not cage free and free range, poultry is raised in bad situations like at places that Tyson and other brands raise. Where is the USDA when documentaries are showing the cruelty conditions of chickens? They are probably chowing down on KFC somewhere! So, without reading into depth of how “great” the USDA is, I am going to read about meat recalls instead and how the USDA failed in those situations.
Sorry, I am not sorry!
Hi Rudi,
ReplyDeleteYes, it is quite upsetting! It makes me wonder about ethics and farmer accountability. It's crazy how our society is so driven by production and $$$ without taking the time to think about the right thing to do. The inspection services needs to get their act together, I feel you!
