It says animals have to be fed no less frequently than once in 24 hours.
And there is no doubt in my mind, that most people responsible for enforcing that law, CAN READ.
But this is how urban legends get started. Someone is angry that AC is coming around, so they get something like this started - leaving out facts, like that they HAVE no food on the property and there is no EVIDENCE that adequate food is being supplied - no storage area for adequate feed supplies, no empty feed bags lying around, no nothing. So they LIE and tell everyone AC said they have to have feed in front of their animals 24/7.
NO THEY DIDN'T. They need to be able to see some evidence that the animals are being fed! And them down and dying of malnutrition and looking like a hatrack, makes AC doubt these animals are getting fed adequately at ALL!
Why is it that so many people assume that AC is all bad and corrupt and stupid in every single county in every single country in the world?
The fact is that they are NOT.
I've seen farms that were in horrific condition - down and dead stock, crippled animals, livestock running on other people's property daily and causing accidents out in the roadway frequently, babies all over the place with horrible deformities due to lack of nutrition, and all some people can say, without ever even having SEEN the farm that was involved, or without having seen it recently, that it's all a put up job.
YEAH, REAL recent. I went to one fancy horse breeding farm that looked 'okay' when I WAS THERE TOO!
And two years later, the Canadian government was in there trying to pull baby horses out of stalls that were so full of manure the babies were scrunched down to not have their backs press against the ceiling of the barn, fences and walls and ceilings all chewed up because the animals had no feed, their tails chewed off because they were eating each other's tails they were so starving, deformed babies all over (they took out a whole truck load of foals, weanlings and yearlings that had to be put down due to untreatable deformities in the legs), animals that had never been touched by a human, starving animals allover the property - in fields, in barns, all over the place.
It's ALWAYS a put up job. I get REAL sick of hearing it here.
Maybe people need to calm down, stop pointing fingers based on their own insecurities and politics, and admit that some places really do need to have their animals taken away.
