There is once more a new fuss at farmers who keep animals. The latest virus called the Schmallenbergvirus has caused havoc to several farmers who keep sheep or goats. The animals get deformed offspring. If the messages are correct, there is also a case known to a farmer who keeps cattle. In their case, the cows suffer for a few days fever, diarrhea, weakness and reduced milk production. It is a virus where no remedy is against until now. A real misery for the livestock industry.
But, do these farmers wonder what the deeper cause actually is? Does the farmer association and all those other organizations involved question themselves what their own contribution to the emergence of these problems is?
It is clear that when a virus is around, only the not completely healthy persons or animals are affected. History lessons are an example of this when they confront us with likewise stories about the diseases in the middle ages. The question is whether we – farmers and people who deal with animals – have learned of the circumstances that caused large outbreaks in the middle ages. More recently are the several large outbreaks of other animal diseases with major consequences such as mad cow disease, foot-and-mouth disease, scrapies, dioxin chickens, swine fever, or pig cholera.
Still it is about the unnatural generation and unnatural living conditions of animals.
– It begins with an unnatural reproduction. The male and female body may no longer get together and thus the body is not encouraged for receipt of the fetus. The insemination is clinical.
– Next most get the wrong nutrition. Nutrition that they themselves would not choose. It is food that is artificially created and quickly fills and manures the animals, but whether it has sufficient nutrition that their body can use is another thing.
– Another important cause I would like to mention, are the unnatural living conditions. These are conditions with too many animals in a small space and often with too little daylight. Many animals are no longer admitted to be continuous outside in conditions where they are able to find their own food and beverage and are able to find their own shelter against cold or heat. We let them spend their lives too often in unnatural (stables or meadows without facilities) places. It is not surprising that all these unnatural living conditions have probably already introduced a form of inbreeding.
– In any case, one thing is particularly clear. People and animals that live an unnatural life become ill. The people and animals that live completely natural life, are not or barely susceptible to diseases. Animals that live near people and are not held naturally are susceptible to diseases. These animals are therefore dealt with many medications. Many of these medications reduce on their turn their resilience and even make them sicker. It goes from one generation to the next generation and the animals become less vital and degenerate with every generation.
The food industry gains a lot of money with keeping animals this way. For them it they are a product and no longer living creatures like themselves. Even if they themselves become seriously sick because the disease affect humans (zoonosis) – as recently the Q-fever who made many people seriously ill or killed them, they cheerfully continue. The money is indeed of more importance to them. About the thousands of animals that have become the victim of this human misconduct they keep a conveniently silence.
The question is whether it is justified or unjustified fuss when a new disease manifests. Are we humans who eat animals or keep animals not contributing to it and thus also guilty?
Is in particular the food and animal feed industry remaining blind to the consequences of their own actions and the impact on nature and humans?
