Then clearly the folks who produced the program are biased.
When watching such programing, we must be extra cautious and ever on the alert for misleading information. Just like the mass media, TV producers are not one bit afraid of lying to the public.

Muddy, I agree with that.
I had to attend a mass slaughter of 3000 chickens recently, due to an outbreak of e-coli in one of the rearing sheds.
The ministry has to attend to make sure the chickens are handled correctly and dispatched humanely.
When I saw how they lived (if you can call it living), it brought home to me that there are worse things than a quick painless death.
These weren’t caged chickens btw. They were barn raised. The barns are vast buildings, absolutely crammed with birds.
That’s why I never buy caged or barn raised chickens or eggs.
Free range all the way.

Then let's do something radical - save the animals and start eating people!

Re: Apocalypse Cow -How meat killed the planet

Muddy, what a load of old borax. It's programmes like this that make us disbelieve all science programmes.

I spend more time in the country than anywhere else, and you are hard pushed to see a herd of cows anywhere. The odd field maybe. Most of the hens I see are scratching around farmyards having a ball of a time eating anything that they can find. And did you know that there is a power station locally that runs exclusively on chicken shit, so much for the pollution and contamination.

AND! more methane is produced from rotting vegetation and is released from the melting ice in the polar regions after being trapped for thousands of years than all the humans and farm animals put together. Animals eat other animals, and so the circle of life carries on. There are enough animals on the endangered species list without adding cows hens pigs and sheep, who incidentally help to manage our green areas.

Switch off your TV and step away now........
