When the Act was passed, the meat packaging industry had to succumb to continuous inspections and investigations by the Agricultural Department which would be paid for by the meat packaging industry. Furthermore, the Act would require stamps on meat products that were sent to market for public consumption. There have been many amendments created to correspond with enhancements in the meat industry. The Federal Meat Inspection Act was established to warrant the health of American consumers. It abolished any diseased or contaminated meat before the consumer gets it.
He called upon Congress to pass a law establishing the Food and Drug Administration and, for the first time, setting up federal inspection standards for meat.

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.
For instance, a case study was done by the Supreme Court of Alabama to determine if pit bulls were inherently dangerous. They chose four puppy pit bulls that were rescued from a dog-fighting ring to see if they showed signs of aggression. Their findings were unanimous, the dogs were all safe, happy puppies, even though these dogs had been exposed to fighting they all still passed aggression tests, two were adopted out and the remaining two were put into training at the Alabama Search and Rescue Team. The findings of this case study gave reason for the Alabama Supreme Court (City of Hunstville v. Sheila Tack, et al., 2003) to rule that pit bulls were not inherently dangerous dogs, a landmark achievement for pit bull activists. This was a big stepping-stone because it provided federal acknowledgment that pit bulls were not more aggressive or powerful than other breeds to show any additional concern.
Buying online, from the pet shop or even a simple news advertisement is justifying the puppy mills actions. Even taking a vow to adopt your next pet is one step in the right direction. Personally, I have bought from a puppy mill. It is terrible, but even worse to know that it is right under our noses. (Located near Nimbin) By supporting this industry I have invested almost $3000 into one breeding ground.

If someone sees another person abusing their pet they will call the ASPCA.
The programs created by the New Deal legislation employing people who were jobless and/or homeless were the start to this new concept. These programs marked the longest length the government had gone in caring for its citizens, and was a major step in creating a society in which the government takes an active role in caring for its residents. Although the New Deal programs such as the CCC and PWA were significant, the most important legislation was the Social Security Act. This law created a federal insurance program based upon the collection of taxes throughout people's working careers. The Social Security trust fund would then use that tax money to pay a monthly check to people over 65 years of age.
