๐Ÿ’Š Antibiotic Use at Animal Farms ๐Ÿ’Š

Factory farming imposes all sorts of massive hidden costs onto society. One of the greatest of these involves its constant incubation of new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The meat and pharmaceutical industries share a common interest. Meat producers want unfettered access to huge quantities of antibiotics, while pharmaceutical companies want the cash these sales generate. When added to animal feed, antibiotics significantly boost growth rates while reducing diseases associated with stress and overcrowding. So big meat and big pharma have teamed up to lobby the government to allow these antibiotic sales to continue, at great detriment to the public health.

Roughly 70 percent of the United Statesโ€™ antibiotic supply is consumed by farm animals. This percentage has been steadily increasing for years (1). Worldwide, the meat and dairy industries combine to use more than 100,000 tons of antibiotics per year (1). Many of these antibiotics, like penicillin and tetracyclines, have irreplaceable uses in human medicine.

Confining thousands of animals in one space and dosing them all with antibiotics inevitably increases microbial resistance. This in turn renders important classes of antibiotics ineffective for urgent human medical needs. Itโ€™s difficult to definitively link the emergence of a lethal strain of antibiotic-resistant bacteria to a particular animal farm. But no little doubt that meat production is associated with deadly bacteria like the MRSA superbug (2). A 2018 report from the Environmental Working Group found antibiotic-resistant bacteria contaminating the majority of beef, pork, and turkey samples (3).

๐Ÿท PTSD in the Slaughterhouse ๐Ÿฎ

Slaughterhouse employees are not only exposed to a battery of physical dangers on the cut floor, but the psychological weight of their work erodes their well being. As one former abattoir employee attests in the book Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meat Industry:

โ€œThe worst thing, worse than the physical danger, is the emotional toll. If you work in the stick pit [where hogs are killed] for any period of timeโ€”that letโ€™s [sic] you kill things but doesnโ€™t let you care. You may look a hog in the eye thatโ€™s walking around in the blood pit with you and think, โ€˜God, that really isnโ€™t a bad looking animal.โ€™ You may want to pet it. Pigs down on the kill floor have come up to nuzzle me like a puppy. Two minutes later I had to kill them. โ€ฆ I canโ€™t care.โ€

It will come as no surprise that the consequences of such emotional dissonance include domestic violence, social withdrawal, drug and alcohol abuse, and severe anxiety. As slaughterhouse workers are increasingly being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder, researchers are finally starting to systematically explore the results of killing sentient animals for a living.

Amy Fitzgerald, a criminology professor at the University of Windsor in Canada, has found a strong correlation between the presence of a large slaughterhouse and high crime rates in U.S. communities. One might object that a slaughterhouse townโ€™s disproportionate population of poor, working-class males might be the real cause, but Fitzgerald controlled for that possibility by comparing her data to counties with comparable populations employed in factory-like operations. In her study released in 2007, the abattoir stood out as the factor most likely to spike crime statistics. Slaughterhouse workers, in essence, were โ€œdesensitized,โ€ and their behavior outside of work reflected it.

About Rotehar Eggs

Rotehar eggs start out completely black, except for the pink stone. The grey markings and sparkles will appear as the egg matures. Once the stone begins to glow the Rotehar egg will hatch within a day.

About the Rotehar Creature

Rotehars are nocturnal creatures who live off of moon and starlight. Not only do Rotehars eat starlight they can create mild illusions with it as well but only with starlight, they can not create any illusions with moonlight. Thus when the moon is full a Rotehar's illusions are at their weakest and some can not cast illusions at all. These illusions are almost entirely color based and seem to provide no advantage to avoiding or fending off predators, Rotehars use their illusions solely for entertainment. On the nights of the new moon Rotehars will gather together and put on fantastic displays of shifting colors that are usually accompanied by song or story.
