Massproduction of animals for meat, milk and eggs requires large amounts of antibiotics to make the animals grow fast and stop epiidemic outbreaks of deseases. But this causes a rise in the number of resistant bacteria, which in turn makes antibiotics useless for humans. This is already a growing hazard and thousands of people, mostly children and people with weakened immune system like operated patients, have died from incurable infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It is therefore crucial to stop the widespread use of antibiotics in massproduction of animals now.
