[Vegan] Animal Agriculture in Canada

http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/animal-agriculture/
A great article discussing it.  It touches on the following topics:

• production systems (how animal production is split up)
• animal feeding (what they eat and how)
• disease (vaccination, antibiotics, zoonoses)
• hormones (common in US and Canada, banned in EU, science so far claims they're safe)
• meat consumption

Some neat notes

• red meat and dairy consumption declining in the Western world since 1970s
• global meat consumption per capita growing, and global population growing
• fur production in Canada was apparently declining until demand for exports from China and Russia grew

Working for a government agricultural agency, it's neat seeing a summary of the larger structure of the landscape I work within.
