I think all of us would be opposed to inhumane treatment of animals, whether farm or pets. Of course, one could argue that ANY farm animal is treated inhumanely if it is grown to be slaughtered............ Look at it from the animal's point-of-view.
I am not quite sure what the chemical companies have to do with the loss of our family farms, but I trust there must be a connection somewhere.

I did not know that about the link with Scott's and Monsanto and Round Up, which again we're advised not to use. It has atrazine in it which has been linked to Parkinson's disease.

Monsanto is taking farmers to court because they are buying seeds one year and then saving seeds from that crop to plant the following year. So Monsanto says this is "seed patent infringement". I hope there are other companies to buy seeds from, because this is ridiculous. Not to mention the nasty GMO factor!!
Here's an article from 2013 about the lawsuit:
