Once you start doing that the cows that are being eaten are the sickly one or the one’s who die on the farm and are sent to a rendering plant to be made into a powder mix that is in turn feed right back to the livestock. If the animal used to make the powder was a infected animal then the animal who consumes that animal will become sick also which in turn causes the meat we will be eating to become tainted. We still don’t know of the far reaching effects to eating a cow that’s infected with some sort of disease, scientist are just now starting to link Alzheimer’s disease and dementia to possible side effect to meat consumption. And what was once an honorable profession being a farmer is now nothing more than an assembly line of death and disease, if we don’t change something and fast we wont even be able to feed our growing population by the mid 2000 because over 50 percent of our farm land is being used just to feed our livestock for human consumption. The feed to meat ratio is way out of whack it takes 50pounds of feed to produce one pound of meat, at that rate we will never have enough crops to feed the worlds people and our food supply.
The way of her writing does work well to approach the readers who don’t know much about mounting animals because I also changed my view point to look at the field after I read the essay. At the beginning of the essay, she described the first scene of the championships through her eyes. Everything was surprising and wonderful for her to look at the animals and it seemed that she did not have any experience of taxidermy just like me. Orlean had a lot of interviews with taxidermists came from various places and observed closely then she learned a lot from participating in the Championships. The author delivered that the taxidermists are professionally taking their job as an art and they are making a lot of efforts to create a masterpiece “When you’re working on a piece, you forget to eat, you forget to drink, you even forget to sleep.
Panicked horses are often prodded and beaten off the truck and into the kill-chute. An improper use of stunning equipment, designed to render the animal unconscious with a swift shot to the head, means that horses sometimes endure repeated blows, and remains conscious during their own slaughter, including throat slitting.” There have been myths about horse slaughter being a form of humane euthanasia. The fact is it’s a far cry from being “humane.” Euthanasia means a gentle, painless death provided in order to prevent suffering; Horses for slaughter are shipped for more than 24 hours at a time in crowded double-decker cattle trucks without food, water or rest. Pregnant mares, foals, injured horses, and even blind horses must endure
A weird terror struck at J. R. Isidore.”. Throughout the book we learn the importance and value of living animals; this arose among people after the “dust” took over earth which wiped out almost all living animals. However, androids don’t possess empathy and they don’t react to living animals as humans would that’s is why Pris, Imrgard and Baty saw no importance in the living creature and saw nothing wrong in mutilating it, but J.R. Isidore a human, reacts as one is expected
For starters, they invaded her home and killed one of her children. She also didn’t like their way of life. She often compared them to animals. These tie in with the theme that I find appropriate for the topic of how Mary viewed the Indians, which is the blurred line between being a savage and being civilized. Some of the things that Mary had to do in order to survive went against her religion and her morals.
Fast Food Nation Essay: In most food industry factories in America, specifically the meat packing industries, enormous pressures are being put onto workers each day that are exceedingly demanding. With the strive for maximizing and mass producing; the derivation of repetitive injuries to workers emerges. These injuries not only cause for the disassembling lines to slow down, resulting in a less productive business day, but also affect the food they are producing. The poor and unjust working conditions of meatpackers in American Slaughterhouses are the causes for disturbingly unsanitary preparation of food. The stipulations of workers in the meatpacking industry are incredulously inadequate.
Kiara Edwards 8/1/2010 Human Nutrition Test Essay 2 Does anyone really know what we are eating? After viewing the documentary Food Inc I have a totally different outlook on the food that many of us consume every day. My daughter, Kiryana my niece, Samya and nephew Xavier watched the video with me they had so many questions ranging from what are they doing to the chickens, why are they hurting the baby chicks, to comments such as auntie I don’t think I want to eat chicken anymore. The Food Inc documentary introduced many people to America’s industrialized food system and its effect on our environment, health, economy and workers' rights. These images of smiling farmers, fields of wheat, hens and their chicks, with cows peacefully grazing in fields actually hides the reality of how a handful of multi-national corporations now control the majority of North American food production.This documentary talked about several issues such as Factory Farming and how approximately 10 billion animals
Factory Farming: The New Evil to Animals, Human Health and the Environment Morgan Piela Mr. Fanning Day2 Period 4 November 15, 2010 Most of the American public today still thinks of farming in the romantic way, with family owned farms where hardworking people wake up early, plow fields, care for animals and pastures and scrape by with a difficult but honorable livelihood.

One problem coming from this is that when something goes wrong, like contamination or foodborne illnesses, it affects enormous amounts of food. The documentary showed cattle standing in their own feces and being sent to the slaughterhouse caked in it and not being washed off or even rinsed off. If workers washed off the feces or even cleaned up their holding pens this would slow down production which would cause a loss in
The states need to come up with strict laws that will cut numbers of animal abuse. The animals in the factories are getting treated terribly. “They call their revolution (animal rights), but the changes PETA has won for farmed animals, while numerous, are not victories for animal rights so much as for animal welfare: fewer animals per cage, better-regulated slaughter, less-cramped transport, and the like”(Unknown author). PETA stands up for animal welfare and want to raise awareness so they can pass new laws on how the animals are treated inside
