As the culture becomes less connected with the land and farms they become easily shocked. Can you imagine the pictures today when a farmer teaches his child how to chop the head off a chicken so that it can be cleaned and eaten?
Good farmers and concerned conservatives are not for cruel treatment of animals. Even on milk farms you used to hear of some farmer who allowed his cows to be knee high in manure and poorly care for. This was certainly unacceptable. It was also stupid because the animals were both a source of income and food.
PETA is going to take shots at the young people who have never been on a farm and have no reference to the pictures they see. Cruel behavior they will be able to find and it will be turned into what ‘normally’ happens.
Thankfully the agribusiness sector is aware of this. It’s good for not only the treatment of animals but some connection between the farm and table has to be maintained through.
The rapidly fading connection between the farm and the dinner table has provided groups such as PETA with the opportunity to shape people’s thoughts about production agriculture. And they are taking advantage of it.
There is nothing worse than being taken advantage of by such “Ultra Liberal” extremists.
