     Imagine you wake up in a country thousands of miles away from home and you have to go to work and you have no idea on how to perform the tasks you'll be asked to perform and you won't understand a word of what your been told, unfortunately this is the reality for thousands of people coming to the United States to work on industrial farms. There are approximately 800, 000 employees on industrial farms, working grueling twelve hour shifts so they can manage to feed their families and stay in the United States. Working on an industrial farm can be considered one of the most dangerous jobs and physical demanding, with possibly the worst income and working conditions. The industry consists mostly of full-time workers, a lot of which are immigrants from Mexico and the Latin Americas. Industrial farms account for 99% of the animals we consume, without industrial farm workers we wouldn't have any meats. To my surprise the industry exploits it's workers in every way they can, it's time we start looking out for the people who provide food for all three hundred million of us.


     Working on a factory farm is arguably the most dangerous and demanding  jobs in the United States. Everyday that the workers go to work they put their health at risk. There 800,000 people going to work on these farms daily, putting their health on line for a pennies worth of a salary compared to the profits their employers make. The workers inhale harmful gases, that they should never be exposed to, on a daily basis. They also experience repetitive stress injuries because they perform the same tasks for a full shift, thus stressing the muscles they are using constantly. The price the workers have to pay for working in those conditions is unfathomable. They experience long-lasting aches, respiratory disorders, cardiovascular complications, and sadly premature death. Most of the workers are unaware of the long-term effects of working on a factory farm, and they also accept it for what it's because for most of them this is their way of staying in the United States and supporting their families. Unlike industrial farms, subsidiary farms have far bettter working conditions and wages, it's time that the employers start been held accountable for the mistreatment of the employees and not providing a safe working enviroment. 

These are the first few paragraphs i have done so far for my draft.
