In this article, the author shows that the whole egg operation at Kreider Farms are cruel and intolerable. For example, there's evidence in the investigation suggesting that, "An automatic cart that runs between the cages sometimes decapitates hens as they're eating." The author chose this piece of evidence to demonstrate the terrible and inhumane living conditions of the hens, and suggest why Kreider Farms's practices are so evil and even grotesque. Also, the author writes, " Mice sometimes ran down egg conveyer belts, barns were thick with flies and manure in three barns tested positive for salmonella, he said." The author chose this piece of evidence to show the disgusting conditions of Kreider Farms, and why it's terrible that their widely eaten products may be tainted with salmonella, and maybe even e.coli. In all, the author did a great job of selecting evidence from the investigation, and presenting them in a way that argues how terrible the operations at Kreider Farms are.
In conclusion, this article expertly depicts the awful practices of Kreider Farms, and sheds some light on why they are so cruel and inhumane (I'm so happy that I'm a vegetarian). This development also makes us think twice before we eat something, and where it has originated from. These days, you never know where your food comes from. I try to eat and drink as many organic products as possible, but that still doesn't guarantee that the conditions are always save and clean. These articles are great, because they shed light on sensitive, sometimes controversial topics that affect all of us.
