The book is about mainly farm animals and livestock, and how they are being mistreated. The goal is to try and implement practical methods of humanizing the wellbeing of these animals. The information in this book was intended to bring scientific research and practical application together. The print goes thoroughly over the housing of farm animals, management and transport, slaughter, and welfare improvement strategies just to name a few key points. It is more specific to farm animals; however, it could also be taken into account when discussing…
As humans, we have been naturally inclined to eat meat since the start of our existence. But many people believe that using an animal for our own personal gain is very unethical. One such group, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), published “Animals Used for Food” in 2016 on their organizational website, they argue that animals are compassionate just like we are and that people need to be their heroes. PETA’s audience incorporates everyday people in a global aspect. This article combines the rhetorical appeals of ethos, logos and pathos. The author of this article mostly uses the emotional appeal of pathos to help persuade people to help them in their efforts to save the animals.…
Animal production in animal health studies shows a high increase of butchering animals. From foie gras each bird has to be butchered at about month old. The general field of animal industry in feeding, food digestion, and computation of rations, the shape of a horse is questionable. Facing disease on farms, farm butchering is the treatment of each class of farm butchering, which is one method to produce the meal foie gras.…
Next, the author applies the use of directive language to suggest an idea on how humanity can be improved. The author demands that “We must reform this attitude to our fellow inhabitants of the earth” which implies the action of locking chicken up in cages should be stopped as it is a form of abuse to animals; an inhumane act. This suggestion sends the reader a sense…
Buying any meat, dairy, and egg products is buying from the same four large companies that run the meat industry in America today. By using the Confined/Concentrated Animal Feeding Systems or CAFOs, these companies have made it to the top of the meat industry. CAFOs systems are unethical and pose a huge risk to our environment and our own health. Although these animals are being raised to be consumed does not mean they should live in small pins with no exercise, stand in their own feces, and be pumped with growth hormones and antibiotics. CAFO systems also have a huge impact on our environment, the CAFO systems have a vast amount of waste produced on small amounts of farmlands that cannot decompose properly. Causing farmers to dispose of the…
Animals are constantly being slaughtered for our own selfish eating habits, today people are more worried about their social media fame then what they’re putting into their bodies and the process that it takes to get to our plates. An author Nicholas Kristof, wrote “Animal Cruelty Or The Price Of Dinner?,” published in 2016 in the New York Times, and he argues that while the public are raising a riot about a dog getting abused by his owner, while millions of baby chickens are getting slaughtered everyday for our food and no one seems to care. Kristof starts building his credibility with reputable sources and personal facts, citing from his own research and conventional facts, and successfully discussing his own emotional appeals; however, his attempts to appeal to the readers’ emotions weaken his credibility and ultimately, his argument.…

Animal Cruelty in American Agriculture Avoidable cruelty and unnecessary abuse of factory farmed animals is a crisis epidemic in the United States which warrants immediate action. In every country, “large numbers of factory farmed livestock are raised indoors in conditions intended to maximize production at minimal cost” (Merriam-Webster). Cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, horses, other animals, and fish are treated as dollar signs rather than living beings, around the globe. While there are several organizations that lobby and promote laws for more humane treatment of farm animals, very little is being accomplished or enforced. Consumer awareness, education, and purposeful advocacy are necessary to combat animal cruelty in American agriculture,…
It's hard to imagine when drinking a glass of milk or frying some eggs that animals are enduring harsh treatment in the process of getting such products. Taylor makes a valid point when she says “It is impossible to produce eggs and milk without vast amounts of killing” (203, par 3). The author believes that even though animals used for their byproducts are not being slaughtered, they are still being treated inhumanely because of their poor living conditions which lead to many unnecessary deaths. Such living conditions include chickens being tightly compacted with no room to walk and a lack of sunlight and fresh air. According to Taylor, this falls under animal cruelty. By informing the reader of a different manner of animal cruelty, Taylor is able to convince an audience to rethink buying from farms that are inhumane.…
Since factory farms were invented in 1926, the workers have been feeding their animals large amounts of food so when they slaughter them, they have a lot of meat or fatness to put to the public. The amount of food they feed their animals is tremendous. When a pig is born, it weighs about two pounds, but within a year, they weigh about two-hundred sixty pounds. In 1966 is where the pigs would weigh much less than today("Factory Farming"). Many of the animals who are inhabited in factory farms are severely abused and people should recognize this because nowadays, animal rights activists are making animals equal to humans. If a human was being abused like an animal, that would be considered a problem, but animals are equal to us, so they should…
Animal experimentation is a highly controversial subject throughout the world and in the 20th century the public has become increasingly aware of the two sides to animal testing. The earliest dated animal testing can be traced back to 384-322 BCE and it is still a common practice to this day. There are a few disagreements that are highly debated about animal experimentation such as the importance of the testing for scientific and medical goals, the suffering of the animals, and the ethical principles that apply to animals. Both sides of animal experimentation have their reasons and facts for why animal testing is ethical or unethical, but it comes down to the amount of pain the animals suffers and if it is morally correct.…
People always listen to the people that are bad influences. Most of the people tend to listen to the source of propaganda in a corrupt government. Animal Farm is a friendly way of explaining what happened in the soviet union. It compares it to a farm that is in need of a new leader. Their new leader is cruel and bad the rest of the farm is blind enough that they can't find out what their leader is doing is cruel and horrible. In Animal Farm, George Orwell presents the idea that people in society tend to believe whatever they are told especially when the source of propaganda is a corrupt government. For example when squealer is telling how great of a leader napoleon is when really he is a horrible. The people in that society believe whatever a government official…
