The injection of growth hormones in to cows so they can grow at a faster rate. This will make corporations very happy. According to the European Union’s Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures Relating to Public Health, the use of six natural and artificial growth hormones in beef production poses a potential risk to human health.These six hormones include three which are naturally occurring Oestradiol, Progesterone and Testosterone and three which are synthetic Zeranol, Trenbolone, and Melengestrol. Scientists believe about two-thirds of American cattle raised in for slaughter today are injected with hormones to make them grow faster and America’s dairy cows are given a genetically-engineered hormone called rBGH to increase milk production. Although the livestock are being mistreated and fed things their not created to eat, people don't realized where most of their food comes from or what happens behind the scenes. We all know an animal has to be killed for us to be able to eat but do we understand how they are slaughtered or what they live through for our benefit. They are fed corn not grass, they live in their own feces, and they are suffering from diseases that can affect our food and us.
