The excessive use of antibiotics in animal agriculture is increasing
the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Just in the European Union
25,000 patients die every year from infections caused by drug resistant
bacteria, and The World Health Organization says drug use in farm
animals plays a 'significant role' in spreading antibiotic-resistant
salmonella and campylobacter infections in humans.

'untreatable' if antibiotic misuse continues:

The unthinkable is actually happening. Thousands of people die every
year of infections that could be treated if antibiotics were not used
irresponsibly by the factory farming industry. I think it is time for
Christians to spend less time praying for healing and spend more time
paying attention to their eating habits. Supporting the factory farming
industry only sends the message that corporations can continue engaging
in unethical behavior that brings sickness and suffering to God's
Creation.
