The Country is a Horrible Place

“Tommy Osier, 18, a popular but indifferent student, was still a year from graduating from high school, and that was no sure thing. Farm work paid him $7.40 an hour, taught him discipline and gave him new skills. He had begun talking about making a life in farming.”

 — If you’re already forming a reasonable emotional attachment to Tommy or any other person whose age is listed next to their name in this disturbing snuff piece, stop reading now and never go near a farm again as long as you live, and support legislation aimed at protecting the children/youth who work on them.
