There are reasons why cows, pigs, Meerschweinchen, even horses are all by nature vegetarians. And their waste, non toxic which was in turn good for soil, good for plant life and good for crops.
Let’s talk about animal waste. Originally farmers used cow and horse manure to fertilize their crops. Back then however, their diets were completely natural derived from natural sources of grain and grass grown in a natural environment. Thus, their waste was also natural. This was how their food supply was recycled naturally. As with plant food for humans the process was the same.
On the other hand the majority of food production today is anything but natural. As a result of Mad Cow Disease cows are not fed meat remains from other cows any longer. However cow blood can be mixed with feed which of course contains cow DNA. And why were they feeding cow meat to cows in the first place when they’re vegetarians? Relieving public concern by doing this other ways of recycling animals for food have been used for years. And things have been changing and with drastic measures.
Animal Factories
With animal farm factories raising food animals, current laws allow pigs, chickens and turkeys that have been fed rendered cattle to be slaughtered, mixed with animal feed and fed back to farm animals including cows. Thus, these animals are then later slaughtered once again, mixed with feed and fed back to the cow and farm animals which defeat the purpose of avoiding Mad Cow diseased cattle.
So in essence cows are not only bred into cannibalism farm animals also as they are now eating parts of and pieces of other animals. No longer vegetarians and not by choice mind you, what will this do to the global food chain in the end? In addition, humans eat cows, chickens and pigs but beef, poultry and pork is not what we think now is it?
Animal Protein Products: consist of rendered intestines, blood, feathers, skin, hooves and hair. Also, carcasses of rendered horses, dogs, cats and or road kill.
Manure-Animal Waste: Animal feed can contain chicken litter, pig waste and cow manure inclusive with ground dirt, sand, rocks and wood particles. All the while this filler contains digested meats from all these animals.
Slaughtered Meat-Diseased Animals: Pigs, chickens and turkeys including the diseased that have been fed rendered cattle can be slaughtered, mixed with animal feed and fed back to farm animals including cows. These animals are later slaughtered once again, mixed with feed and fed back to the cow and farm animals.
Excessive Amounts of Grain: Digestive systems in cattle are not tolerant to excessive amounts of corn and health related problems such as abscesses of the liver and acidic digestive tract create further ingredients into their diets, drugs.
Antibiotics-Chemicals: To prevent disease in crowed animal farms or factories, antibiotics are used to combat this and the stressful lifespan of an animal in these unsanitary conditions. Also is used to enhance the rate of growth and are added to feed on a routine bases. This has caused concern for antibiotic-resistant bacteria which can also affect humans. To manage parasites in chickens certain antimicrobials are used which again enhance the rate of growth. However, they contain arsenic, a human carcinogen and runoff from farm factories can contaminate meat and ground water.
