Developing countries (supposedly mainly China) just keep all their livestock on them all the time.

Which is a massive petri-dish for developing antibiotic-resistant bacteria just about as fast as you can.

Thanks for calling Germany a developing country, because that's what we are in regards to livestock. We're feeding our pigs antibiotics just for the side effect of gaining more weight.
