Animal Farm Ethics

A farm parent may say, “I would rather have my kids spend time in the barn or in the field rather than playing video games”. This is an ethical statement. It is estimated that twenty seven thousand children under the age of twenty who live on farms and ranches are seriously injured each year. Adults can help lessen the risk of a child being injured by telling children the dangers or hazards on the farm. As children grow and develop, they get stronger and learn to think things through better. Your child must not do any activity that he or she is not physically and developmentally ready for, even if raised on a farm. To keep children safe, make sure they are continuously closely supervised, away from machinery, farm animals, and open bodies
