In the early 1930s, particularly during the Great Depression, the U.S. government killed farm animals as part of agricultural policies aimed at stabilizing prices and reducing overproduction. The Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) sought to raise commodity prices by decreasing supply, which led to the culling of livestock. This controversial measure aimed to provide relief to struggling farmers by ensuring that market prices for agricultural products would increase, even as it resulted in the destruction of healthy animals.
