Question

Why are animals in agriculture more vulnerable to outbreaks of disease than animals in the wild?

Animals in captivity are generally not as healthy.
Farmers often do not take proper precautions to keep livestock safe.
Animals in agriculture are concentrated in a small space.
O Animals in agriculture are deliberately bred.

Answer 1

This is a tough question.

Though, I would believe out of them all, it would be D, "animals in agriculture are deliberately bred". Animals in agriculture have one sole purpose; food. Cows produce meat and milk, pigs produce pork chops, bacon, and ham. Chickens produce eggs and meat.

Overall, they aren't used to much, and I would indeed say they're overbred. Their immune systems have never been compromised, so they have not built up a tolerance to illnesses.

Good luck!
