Horse slaughter is no where near the same as putting a horse down, it is the painful butchering of these innocent animals. The sad part is most horses that are shipped out are still young and would have a good chance of being placed in a loving home. These people just don't want to be bother by a horse they don't need so they shipped it off to a slaughter house to be killed. These horses have no way of getting out of the slaughter house alive, as soon as the horse arrives there you pretty much can say its already dead. Before arriving at the slaughter house horses travel thousands of miles with no food, no water, and no rest over a period of days in overcrowded trucks designed
Do they expect me to get rid of all those other foods to? Surely they don’t have a bias for just eating turkeys, but meat in general. I just can’t do that; meat is part of my daily life. “On average, Americans eat the equivalent of 21,000 entire animals in a lifetime.” (pg. 121) I am one of those Americans who eat meat, and to give it up on Thanksgiving for someone else’s selfishness is not going to happen.
Many unsanitary and just plain disgusting routine procedures of this industry are unknown to most consumers. One example would be using dead pigs and dead horses along with chicken manure for cattle feed. Practices like these are to blame for epidemics like mad cow disease an e-coli. Eric Schlosser's book was written to inform the reader about the truth behind
In some cities they had to actually post arm guards on garbage trucks, people were scavenging for food, people would swamp the garbage truck when they would dump the garbage at the dumps. Production was down particularly of wheat, but there was enough out there but the only problem is transportation and storage system. They were dumping milk in the street as a protest, we didn’t have the system to transport milk from for example Wisconsin to Boston, it couldn’t be done so there are people that are starving in Boston because you couldn’t get the food to them. This is really a crisis and the country knows, Roosevelt knows, if you don’t fix this soon the public will put in dictatorship either on the right or the left. Dictators are very efficient they get things done on time.
By 1350 there were some quite serious public health problems in towns, where the lack of fresh water and drainage was a problem which caused the water to be contaminated by other sources and was not healthy to drink. The government were not willing to donate funds to fixing this problem because they did not think it was their job to improve public health, but sometimes they passed laws requiring people to keep the streets clean especially in times when disease was common however these laws were difficult to enforce. Therefore, the Romans’ progress was not maintained. Meanwhile, animal excrement was common in the street and butchers slaughtered their animals and threw the remains on the streets which lead to disease and germs causing people to get sick. All this suggests that during the middle ages there was no progress in public health and that the standard of public health had gone backwards especially in the towns and cities.
Murders come in all shapes and sizes. They commit their crimes for different reasons and play them out in different ways. Some are very precise in their act, while others are careless. Some murderers, like Ed Gein are so horrible that their problem comes from mental instability and do unbelievably horrible things like using human beings to create different outfits and furniture. Ed Gein has to be one of the most sick people in the world.
And 80% would die within a week. Back then thay had lack of medical knowledge and they tried anything to cure the disease but nothing would work. The towns and cities faced food shortage. The outbreak had a huge impact on the field because the men who work in them was to sick to tend to the field and the crops would die. Animals that was being raised to eat went free because people was not able to tend to them.
Drugging animals is too costly. The reason why meat is cheap as it is now is because they don’t pay for drugs to give animals painless deaths, but instead the animals are forced dealing with massive pain to keep the consumers happy. Just like how, “Hutu started killing with guns and grenades. But because they were so expensive, they later turned into machetes, clubs and hands for killing”, leaving anyone a brutal, slow and painful death. This is what animals go through, all day every
In turn, he runs the risk of being dismissed from the slaughterhouse and left out of a job. The second reason is that his job is the most integral part of the industrialized killing process because he is essentially the one to start the whole killing process. Aside from being the one to initiate it, he is the one who makes the whole act of industrialized killing a civilized practice. If the cattle were not knocked motionless and unconscious by the knocker, all 121 slaughterhouse workers would be seen as collectively merciless and barbaric since they would have to perform their jobs on a live, squirming and wriggling cow suspended form above. Not to mention, completing the task would be much more challenging and
Years ago animals were bred for food, but they were also able to raise and feed their children. They were left with room to move and fed properly. Farms today are much different. Companies force thousands of animals into small cages together, with no room to walk, breathe and hardly ever fed the correct way. The feeding of a breed of an animal to another of the same breed is not uncommon as well.
