Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've only ever been to one farm in my life. It's a local one, and I don't think they actually kill animals there. Maybe chicken?

They grow lots and lots of fruits and vegetables, and they had a small chicken-house (small in size and number of chickens, they weren't terribly crowded or anything).

I think they sell milk there too, so they must have a few cows somewhere.

It's a pretty small farm though, so I don't think anything really cruel is going on there.

I'm the first generation on my father's side, and second generation on my mothers not to grow up on a farm. I always hear my dad telling stories of how my grandma would make him and his twin brother wake up at 5:30 every morning in the winter to put hot water on the animals' frozen drinking water, so that they could have something to drink. They had to wake up early every morning to feed the animals, and cleaned their living spaces in the barn and field regularly. They named the cows and chickens, they petted them, and always made sure they were healthy.


The reason every farm you see on PETA, and every other Animal Rights group, has horrible living conditions, is because they only expose the horrible ones. The farms they investigate that meet standards...Don't NEED publicity because they're doing nothing wrong.
