In this research study, Dr. Gradin also reaffirmed that animals are naturally inquisitive. When pens are designed so they are circular, livestock will move forward to see what is ahead, but when animals move naturally based upon their own instinct, this virtually eliminates the need to drive livestock. The AMI reports also showed that high numbers of studies indicate that animals that are calm and unstressed when they are processed produce better meat products for human consumption. For instance, if an animal becomes agitated in a plant, stress hormones like adrenalin are released. If an animal is processed in this high stress state, meat will show quality defects that need to be cut down.
Insofar as I can make-out, people are uncomfortable to know how animals die and to assume such a responsibility. When I've showed people videos of --seemingly credible-- factory farm footage they either react in two different ways: (1) either they quiver-away or plea me to turn it off (2) or they uncomfortably scoff at how ridiculously cynical it all is. Albeit, appalled, this doesn't generally discourage people to stop eating meat altogether. They simply look past it when they go-off and buy animal-based products. The fact of the matter is that the animal products we buy are the source of considerable pain and cruelty.
The Puppy Mill Plague The breeding and living conditions in puppy mills are ethically wrong, and stronger legislation is needed to ensure the protection of dogs that are being bred and raised for human companionship. Dogs are bred at a greater frequency than they naturally should be, which creates health problems for both the mothers and their offspring. Housing conditions at puppy mills are almost unilaterally overcrowded, and dogs may live outdoors entirely exposed to the elements. Dogs that come from puppy mills often experience social problems. Because of the cruelty that prevails at puppy mills across the country, animal rights groups work diligently to promote new legislation the ban inhumane practices at puppy mills.
Virginia DeJohn Anderson, “King Philip’s Herds: Indians, Colonists and the Problem of livestock in Early New England” In this article Ms. Anderson talks about how livestock (mostly swine) played a critical role toward King Philip’s War of 1675-76. How hostilities, settlers free ranging livestock wandered into native villages and affected them and how the Indians responded to theses encroachments. English colonist imported thousands of cattle, swine, sheep, and horses because they considered livestock essential to their survival. But the animals caused problems to subsistence practices, land use, property rights and political authority. Indians did not want to own domestic animals since livestock husbandry did not fit easily with native practices, the adoption of livestock would alter women’s lives by affecting the traditional division of labor since women were mainly responsible of agriculture production.
Showing market lambs is a great privilege to have. Showmanship is a mental game. An outstanding showman is at the peak of his or her game from the time just before entering the show ring to just after leaving (Faris, 2008). Showing lambs is not the easiest. In order to get a lamb ready for show it needs to be cleaned up and trimmed to the guideline expectations.
In order to supply the food for our lives, people have to breed the animals and take care of livestock; their jobs were known as cattle rancher. According to the book “Mad Cowboy” of author Howard Lyman and the two movies “The Witness” and “Peaceable Kingdom”, we will understand the procedure of raising the livestock and also find out the dangerous and potentially deadly practices of the cattle and dairy industry. The author Howard Lyman, also was known as cattle rancher, want to uncover dangers associated with eating red meat. He also exposed an animal-based diet as the primary cause of cancer, heart disease, and obesity in the world. In a powerful and original voice, the warns that our livestock industry has repeated the mistakes such as high doses of pesticides, growth hormone, and the ground-up remains of other animals that led to Mad Cow Disease in England.
(killerwhale.org) Furthermore, they have concluded that any scientific study of orcas would be best done in their natural habitat verse aquariums. Multiple factors would affect their behaviors and many concerns have been brought to peoples attention about the effects orcas face by leaving the wild. One concern for orcas that are born in the wild then taken into captivity is that they live in pods, and their families operate much as if a human family would, with strong attachments and emotions. Tearing these creatures away from their family members has much to do with the psychological effect on them. Several incidents have been reported over the past years that make people question the continued captivity of orcas.

When the Chipotle company sources the meats they are going to use they search high and low for farms that treat their animals with dignity and respect.

Which is the practice of raising livestock in confinement, therefore causing high levels of
