FACTORY FARMING You know the number one farms is closing up because of big corporate farms are squashing the family farms. How would you like it if you were a store owner, and you had to close up shop because you’re not getting any costumers. Instead, some chain store is opening, and it is much bigger with more items and makes way more than you make in a week? That is how family farms feel. Corporate farms are squashing family farms.

Iowa’s family farms are very different than corporate farms because people buy big named foods instead of home grown foods. Therefore corporate farms are squashing the family farms. Most people 35 or older don’t get a chance to farm because corporate farms push them out. Family farms are a good experience for younger children to see how they’re raised and to do chores on farms.

Family farms produces nutritious high quality food. Eighty five present of Americans trust family farms to produce nutritious food. Family farms are more pure food than the big farms. Big corporate farms have treated the animals to be healthier and confine them in littler places, while little farms let there animals roam free in pasture or corn fields, and other places on the farm.

Family farms try to preserve the environment. Three thousand acres are lost sadly to development every day their for less nutritious animals to raise. Many family farms don’t use pesticides or sprays for the grass to grow healthy and animals are eating it and becoming harmed. Family farms benefit society. There are 565,000 family farms in the United States. Rural areas are left with small numbers of acres. If farming leaves there is more unemployment. Farm aid works to support family farms so there is less unemployment. Fore companies control 80% of the beef market+45%of the porks latter market.

Some people think corporate farms are not squashing family farms. Certain family farms are selling to grocery stores and the bigger companies are not quick enough. People may think the big companies are to big and may carry a variety of viruses. Some may think family farms have more nutritious and fresh foods and may send money to local communities and regions.

Family farms are being squashed by corporate farms. We need to support family farms for them to keep moving on. Family farms benefit society, they preserve environment,and produce healthy nutritious food. You can help family farmers by buying food from small local stores every chance you get, I really believe that family farms need a chance. The reason I push this is that my father is a small owned family farmer, believe me it is tough to compete with others.

ANIMAL TESTING Animal testing should not be done because its dangerous and the animals suffer and die. People hurt them for test subjects. They put medicine in there bodies and test there brains for mental disorders. They get left in cages and never get to go outside. But people just don't care about animals and people get mad. People are killing animals and hurting them with no reason to be hurt. The scientists don't give the animals any pain reliever.

Animal testing is not helpful but they have cruelty free agents. But other people they torture them in a harsh ways because they are smaller then they are. So they can pick on them and you can help these animals because they need help. They use cells of humans instead of testing on animals. They use computer simulation they give meat eggs and they give us protect.

Some people said we should use animals because we don't want to use humans. Because humans are more important on earth because we provide food and water.and they don't like animals. This is wrong because they hurt animals and kill animals for there stupid experiments.

You should not hurt the animals so thats why people should protest against scientists who test on animals. Testing is bad and killing the animals with the medicine they put in them so thats why they shouldn't be killed in the first place anyway. I should be careful for what protects I don't want protects test by animals.
