Bugs from Factory Farms Carry Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
The overuse of antibiotics in factory farms in well documented, and
it’s negative consequences as well: bacterial resistant. Now, one more
aspect of this bacterial resistance is uncovered, which is the fact that
flies and cockroaches, so common in factory farms, are carriers of
bacteria-resistant pathogens. A recent study by researches from North
Carolina State and Kansas state indicates that, “…house flies and German
[common] cockroaches in the confined swine production environment likely
serve as vectors and/or reservoirs of antibiotic resistant and
potentially virulent enterococci and consequently may play an important
role in animal and public health.”

There are no positive aspects of factory farming. Not for humans, not
for animals and not for the environment. In fact, factory farming might
be the one aspect of civilization that causes the most devastation and
suffering in God’s Creation.
