<< Again, this is part and parcel of a wrong-headed approach to the whole
 problem. Capitalist livestock breeding is not just cruel to the animal, it
 creates all sorts of environmental and health problems that ultimately can
 kill us. The separation of chicken and beef stockyards from feedlots means
 that natural fertilizer is not being recycled. This leads to loss of soil
 fertility, water pollution from inorganic nitrogen-based fertilizers,
 diseased animals filled with steroids and antibiotics, and risk of exposure
 to mad cow disease. >>

also, limiting the separations between animals and the reduction of species
enables the wiping out of our entire food supply.  maggie coleman
