Should we use animals to save human lives? I’m not talking about the big picture, philosophical debate.

Some people believe that science has no place in agriculture and that growing crops and raising livestock should be as “simple” as it was in the old days.

Animal activists groups applaud Walmart’s efforts to monitor animal welfare, but its because they see it as a segway to stricter policies and regulation.
Farmers care about their animals and sincerely care about providing for the people in their surrounding communities and across the country.
