"They don't know how farming works. This makes me sick, too".
I am using this quote from a Reuters article to begin.
Farming was never meant to be a business, definitely not the gazillion dollar business it has grown today and an even bigger problem the misguided " farmers" face now.
To mercy kill a million lives - they have no choice!
This has been the biggest farce I have ever learnt.
Market oriented farmers started growing stuff market demanded.
'Pork!' shouted the market and pork they 'grew'.
To feed the pigs, they converted fertile, "food lands" into "cattle feed lands".
Now the market is Kaput, broke.
These folks who thought they were farmers, now contemplate / do something that no real " Farmer" wld never have precipitated...
Genocide shall pale in significance compared to what is about to happen to these cattle raised on inhumanly enriched feed...
Had it been like oil prices crashed below zero in June instead of Now, all the ships loaded with oil all over our oceans wld have been loaded with pork and sausages by the greedy business to make a "killing" when Market turns around post pandemic.
Killing they do, either way!
I hope "Farmers" in India understand this instead of blindly aping the West...
I hope "Farmers" in India understand this instead of blindly aping the West...
Sooner or later, world markets will be flooded with cattle feed and indebted countries will be arm twisted to 'force buy' these feed thereby and kill the local feed markets that anyway shouldn't have existed at all!
//Farmers take pride in the fact that their crops and animals are meant to feed people, especially in a crisis that has idled millions of workers and forced many to rely on food banks. Now, they’re destroying crops and killing animals for no purpose.
Farmers flinch when talking about killing off animals early or plowing crops into the ground, for fear of public wrath. Two Wisconsin dairy farmers, forced to dump milk by their buyers, told Reuters they recently received anonymous death threats.
“They say, ‘How dare you throw away food when so many people are hungry?’,” said one farmer, speaking on condition of anonymity. “They don’t know how farming works. This makes me sick, too.”
