Very dirty farm – level 1

29-08-2014 15:00

A charity films a video. It shows a dairy farm. The farm is in North Carolina in the USA.

The video is shocking. The cows live in a deep pool of their body waste. The mass is full of bacteria. These conditions are unsafe. The cows get sick. There are always flies around the them.

Thanks to the video, people know about this. The farm has 10 days to make things right.

Difficult words: dairy farm (farm which produces milk), pool (area which is filled with something), body waste (things you leave in the toilet).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

How would you punish the owners of the farm?
