Summary 2 Intensive animal farming has been the center of many questions from the general public, politicians and scientists. One of the main questions that arise is how animals are managed and handled during their life-cycle in small cages that barely fit them. Humans would not be able to suffer the many atrocities that these poor animals are having during their life cycle in a cage – tail docking for pigs and beak trimming for chickens are very painful and sometimes animals do not receive medicine to help and calm them. But many scientists argue that the definition of “well-being” is difficult to define because it depends on the animal cognition, motivation, perception and emotional states. There are solutions to better “well-being” of animals such as finding an alternative system to intensive animal farming; genetic changes the behavioral or physiological nature of the animal and therapeutic help such as tail docking or beak trimming.

Some animals are pulled out of their habitat and are used as research; yet some humans think they do not deserve any rights because they are animals. Throughout this paper I will portray examples of possibilities that can be used to change the life of an animal in the food industry, as a pet in homes and as research in laboratories; we need to help them have a better life even if we are going to use them as food, a companion and even as a science experiment, they have the right to enjoy life even if it’s for a moment. Factory farms today, thousands of animals are crammed into filthy, windowless sheds and confined to wire cages, gestation crates, barren dirt lots, and other cruel confinement systems. The factory farming industry strives to maximize output while minimizing costs of course at the animals' expense. The giant corporations that run most factory farms have found that they can make more money by cramming animals into tiny spaces, even though many of the animals get sick and some die.

Language Arts 9 and Social Studies 9 Grade 9 Living Respectfully Preventing Prejudice Respecting Diversity Resolving Conflict “Once Upon a Time”: Tearing Down Fences Contributors Irene Welch and Janice Pritchard, teachers, Thomas B Riley Junior High School, Calgary, Alberta, Calgary School District No 19. Lesson Objectives This humanities (language arts and social studies) lesson provides an opportunity for students to think about how, at its height, the system of apartheid affected South African society until the early 1990s. The lesson is based on the short story “Once Upon a Time” by Nadine Gordimer (see Supplementary Resources). Gordimer’s story provides valuable insights about prejudice and discrimination that can be applied to any society. Students will learn how individuals can take responsibility in reducing societal misunderstandings.
Origins of domestication As we went through the last lectures, the one on the origins of animal domestication seemed very important to me, as I already studied it in Archaeology. Domestication is defined as the slow process which consists in animal or plant adaptation into cultivated forms through altering the behavior, size and genetics by humans. “The shift from acquiring dead animals to maintaining flocks of live animals marks the beginning of animal domestication” stated Meadow (1989:81). But, for any animals to be domesticated they have to develop a relationship with people and they must be willing to live and breed in captivity or in people’s company. Otherwise, this process can not be possible.
This goes the same to receiving a bad critic. There are six ways to how nonverbal and verbal communication can communicate with each other. Communicating as in syncronizing with each other to make a communication at its best. The six ways are repeating, conflicting, complementing, substituting, regulating, and accenting. Using a nonverbal communication is sometimes used as the sole channel for communication of a message.
The purpose might be differ from species, as for cattle and sheep the castration is conducted to manage the unwanted mating while for hogs the meat quality is the main concern. Other than livestock, overpopulated wild animals of a particular species are also subjected to castration. Animals of certain species such as monkey and canine breeds easily, which contributes to environmental and societal issues. Uneven animal population contributes to the societal disruptions of balanced ecosystem environment such as mass migration of inferior species and food deprivation in the habitat. Besides, some species may be the hosts for endemic diseases might be fatal to another weaker species, leading to their
Is Animal Testing Necessary? Do we see birds as an animal flying around in the sky or as a lifeless creature to be tested on? Do we see mice as being cute, class pets or the next control in an experiment? People today should be more aware of how animal testing may one day kill off a number of groups of animals, and can eventually harm the human race. People have yet to realize that their favorite type of deodorant or those good-smelling fragrances they like to put on were once tested on animals.
