sores<br \/>\nThe ventilations awful,the light is inadequate too<br \/>\nTheir whole life has been managed by their<br \/>\nCorporate masters who<br \/>\nHave worked out when they are going to die<br

realise<br \/>\nBut financially the CAFo&#8217;s supply the hyper stores retaining enough margin,but still opening doors<br \/>\nIts down to careful management of systems up till sale<br \/>\nBut leaves the animals in their charge like lost souls on a trail.<br \/>\nThe animals are the commodity and are treated like it, they<br \/>\nWatch the giants rub their hands<br \/>\nAnd then fast fade
