6. "Artful propaganda by industrial meat producers has succeeded in persuading most Americans that our meat and dairy products still come from bucolic family farms. In reality the vast majority of America’s meat and produce are controlled by a handful of ruthless monopolies that house animals in industrial warehouses where they are treated with unspeakable and unnecessary cruelty. These meat factories destroy family farms and rural communities and produce vast amounts of dangerous pollutants that are contaminating
   America’s most treasured landscapes and waterways.
   In North Carolina today, hogs produce more fecal waste than the human population. But while human waste must be treated, hog waste is simply dumped into the environment. Giant warehouse facilities shoehorn 100,000 sows into tiny cages where they endure bleak and tortured lives without sunlight, rooting opportunities, straw bedding, or the social interactions that might give them some joy or dignity. Concrete culverts collect and channel their putrefying waste into 10-acre, open-air pits three stories deep. Noxious vapors choke surrounding communities and endanger the health of neighbors, destroying property values and civic life. Billions of gallons of hog feces ooze into America’s rivers from these facilities, killing fish and putting fishermen out of business. The festering effluent has given birth to lethal outbreaks of harmful algae and bacteria that thrive in nutrient polluted waterways, including Pfiesteria piscicida, a toxic microbe that causes massive fish kills. Scientists strongly suspect Pfiesteria causes brain damage and respiratory illness in humans who touch infected fish or water."

7. The factory farming industry is marked by inhumane processes, unsanitary meat handling, and vast resource consumption, resulting in a dire need of reform. 99% of farm animals in the U.S. are raised in factory farms where they are subjected to harsh conditions, cramped living space, improper feeding and hygiene, and loosely regulated treatment.

8. I am sure China sent the best to China so my question is, with this out break what is China feeding us? The out break in any plant own by them say to me anything labeled Smithfield I will not be eating. I know I am late with this but better late than NEVER. Researching other China own plants. I do not trust them. People keep your jobs. Protect yourselves.

9. Why the chinese communist government purchased Smithfield pork company isn't a national security concern? Very blind what's going to happen.

10. Remember Central Valley Meat Company

11. A $500 bonus is not worth losing your life!

12. We need to look at those wet markets blamed for COVID-19 and focus on how our food is produced globally. People underestimate the pork factory farm industry’s role in the emergence of superbugs. Look where it has brought us.

13. China bought this company this. Company in 2013 for 4.7 Billion now iis it a coincidence that it is a key element in the Coovid spread???.
    the US needs to nationalize the company, clean it up then sell it to take it away from china and post the money to the national debt

14. Interview with them, they said hope it goes away next month and employees might get a $5 raise, Hang in there Smithfields employees 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

18. Buy meat from local family farmers, and use a local butcher. Avoid foods made by companies owned in other countries that we may or may not have good relations with.

19. Referring to it as a "plant" is a euphemism for slaughterhouse. They are dealing with live animals, and animals can get coronaviruses.

20. Factory farming of animals is the reason for this latest virus epidemic. This is where you get new diseases that the human population has never seen before. Unfortunately, we never learn from the past. Please spread awareness that we must immediately stop factory farming of Pigs. It is dangerous, cruel and contagious
