Horse slaughter is a necessary evil, but the ways in which it is carried out are appalling. These inhumane practices must be put to a stop in order for slaughter to remain legal. If you were to go to a meat auction, you would see tiny pens crammed with horses. Some are healthy, though most are extremely malnourished. The sight of all 105 of an animal’s bones poking through its skin is disturbing.
They think different. They act different’ emphasises that they are not the same as everyone in society. Juror 10 compares the people from the slum as animals ‘They breed like animals’ which builds up to a metaphor ‘they are wild animals’. Juror 10 doesn’t believe in a fair trial ‘I don’t give a goddamn about the law’ he just wants the defendant to be prosecuted because he is one of ‘them’ which is unjust. Numbering of jurors rather than naming them as individuals emphasises that they are meant to be objective.
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.
Nature is cruel but we don’t have to be. I wouldn’t want to have my guts ripped out by a lion. I'd much rather die in a slaughter house if it were done right," (Jackson, 2010).Although her ideas at first were hesitated upon and turned away, the owners of cattle plants quickly realized that thanks to Grandin's design the cattle hesitated less, and therefore plant efficiency improved. Grandin redesigned other elements in slaughterhouses, based on other findings from her research: cattle resist being led from bright sunlight into a darkened room, for example, do not like the color yellow, and are upset by clanking metal sounds (Temple Grandin Biography,
The factories are very dangerous places to work and most workers, hired specifically by the companies are undocumented citizens. These people feel that because they don’t have the proper papers for work, they don’t have proper rights, so they complain less about unsatisfactory working conditions. By supporting these huge companies we are not only harming the animals rights but we are allowing these companies to treat their employees with the same lack of respect as they have for the animals. I would now like to go on and explore an alternative meat processing industry, the organic one. People nowadays know that eating organic is usually better, not only does it taste better, but it is more beneficial for the environment, our health, and ethically.
The idea of fattening up a starving population in order to feed the rich casts a grim judgment on the nature of social relations in Ireland. The language that likens people to livestock becomes even more prevalent in this part of the proposal. The breeding metaphor underscores the economic pragmatism that underlies the idea. It also works to frame a critique of the domestic values in Irish Catholic families, who regard marriage and family with so little sanctity that they effectively make breeding animals of themselves. Swift draws on the long-standing perception among the English and the Anglo-Irish ruling classes of the Irish as a barbaric people.
The extinction of animals will cause more of what they eat this can affect humans by more humans being bite by mosquitoes. The mosquitoes population will increase and anything else that they eat. The recovery and preservation of these animals is complicated because many people do not care about these animals and what it does to them when we destroy their homes, places that they feel safe at.
But not a lot of people pay attention to what happens behind the scenes. There has to be a cost to every benefit, whether it may be good or bad. In this case, it cost many tortured animals for farmers and food companies to become powerful and billion dollar industries. There seems to be no balance for these industries because they have sacrificed their ethics for profit. In one part of the video, I was glad to see that there are farmers out there who are willing to treat their cattle and herds ethically even if they were farming them.
Horse Slaughter Horse slaughter is a practice that slaughters horses for meat. There are many reasons why some cultures and societies do this kind of slaughter. The main reason is for meat and money. Some of cultures wait till the horse or horses are old or severely injured. Most ex-athletes are slaughtered or sold to slaughter houses because they were not collecting income or were worn out and was physically unable to do anything anymore.
One scholar mentions, “It is a flawed practice that has resulted in the needless suffering and deaths of millions of animals" (Festing 1). What is the point in finding these results through animals, if the process in getting them is flawed or altered? This could actually do more harm than good, and have worse affects on humans if not tested properly. One scholar states, “It may be cruel, but it can help us understand the human condition” (Fano 1). This quote can not justify animal testing, because these products are tested on animals that sometimes will not show the same side affects as humans.
