800 cows killed by a fire at a dairy farm

I think there needs to be an overhaul of our farming methods. That goes without saying. 
On a more specific level they need to review barn safety. In particular the building codes for barns are clearly not good enough when it comes to fire safety. They should be doing a review of the MANY barn fires and see where the failures are.

There needs to be better electrical standards. They need sprinkler systems. Barns should not be built so that fire can spread from barn to barn. There needs to be a way to evacuate animals in the event of a fire or any other disaster.

Clearly animals are over crowded and that issue should be addressed.

I am tired of reading about hundreds of animals dying in fires.
Let's have some fire prevention and some fire safety and a plan to save lives in the event that fire prevention fails.

It is not okay that this happens over and over again.
It is time for change.
