Nickolas By Nicholas D Kristof
I lived on a farm for a while and grew up around a lot of farm animals from chickens to goats. The author Nicholas D kristof reflection is something I agree with because I experinced it first hand. Nickolas stated in the begaining of the essay that " Our descedants will look back on our factory farms with uncomprehending revulsion" and that is so true. Back in the day we didn't torture animals to eat them but in this modren time our factory farms are filled with cruel animal tortures. Nicholas also wrote something new I didn't know that I absolutly loved , he wrote about an election called referendum on animal rights that takes place in California . The referendum proposes on banning factory farms from rasing animals in small pens or cages.

    Nibert Factory Farm Summary

    We are using animals in such a horrific way that causes negative changes to the environment.We should always think what this world be if we didn’t have the things we have. We would be miserable and everything would be a competition. There’s lots of people out there working to try to make a difference in this world, but also need people to get involved. It fitted into our course goals and objective because it made me realize how much our world is so corrupt.

    Animal Cruelty and Public Health Hazards in the Factory Farming Industry

    Over the last few decades farming animals for food has grown and evolved into a highly efficient, streamlined industry known as factory farming. Factory farms are owned and operated by big corporations, and despite the fact they make up only a small percentage of farms in the United States, they are responsible for most of the meat and eggs we consume here (Sierra Club, 2005). In factory farming, baby piglets are castrated without anesthesia and thrown into a pen, where they huddle in a corner writhing in pain. Egg laying chickens are crammed four or five to a cage (45x50cm) for their entire lives. They cannot spread their wings or stretch out in any way, and they never see daylight. To prevent them from pecking at one another, their beaks are brutally burnt or sliced to a stub. To produce veal, newborn calves are confined in small crates and restrained to allow a minimum of movement until they are slaughtered at just five months old. Factory farmed animals are treated like non-living commodities, suffering horrendous cruelties to produce the maximum profit at the least amount of cost. In recent years public awareness about factory farming conditions has grown, and so have concerns over animal cruelty and public health. The general public should not tolerate animal cruelty in the factory farming industry because it is extremely inhumane to animals and it represents a growing health hazard for human beings; instead, consumers should put pressure on the industry to change the way animals are treated and to ensure farms do not pose a threat to public health.…

    An Animal's Place Pollan Summary

    In “An Animal’s Place” Michael Pollan (2002) talks about how he is reading “Animal Liberation” while eating a steak at a restaurant. He then starts to talk about the book and how it talks about giving animals civil rights. He then talks about the people who believe in the civil rights movement for animals and how England has changed their Constitution in order to protect animals. The European and Swiss are trying to also protect the rights of animals. Pollan talks about America still seeing animals as “things” (p.399) but we are changing some of our animal slaughter habits.…

    4. How do you think farm animals should be treated? How do your ideas compare to what you saw in the film? I think farm animals should be treated with some respect. If we are going to keep them trapped then we ought to let them do what they can while they’re still alive. The animals in the film were treated as if they were already dead. They were kept in close quarters and every aspect of their life was controlled.…

    The Killing Of Animals Pollan Analysis

    Finally, Pollan argues that the harsh treatment of animals on industrial farms has risen due to the lack of human connection with the slaughtering of animals. The author explains, "The disappearance of animals from our lives has opened a space in which there’s no reality check, either on the sentiment or the brutality” (Pollan 363). This suggests when animals are out of sight, the human concern about the killing of those animals lessens.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of All Animals Are Equal

    The industrialization of our meat and food industry has obliterated the notion of Old McDonald’s farm and replaced it with scenes that are deplorable by any morally just person’s standards. These large animal farms, that I have personal experience with (Oakdale Egg farms in Pasco Washington) produce an estimated 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. That share is larger than that produced by transportation. That statistic should be coupled with the fact that for every six pounds of grain fed to livestock and poultry, we receive in return, one pound of food (Singer). Part of the reason why I get pissed off every time I see a new shiny, One Cent Penny, is because I am aware that the cost of making the damned thing is more than it is worth. If the fact that we are so wasteful in a practice that is so morally flawed in standard industry practices, we should be appalled at the fare on our tables? The ethics of our waste and maltreatment of animals is as acratic of practice as I can think of in today’s world, with as little pushback seen from the general masses. Singer states, “If we do not change our dietary habits, how can we censure those slaveholders who would not change their way of living?” Changing our diet is tough no doubt. Envisioning a life without meat is very difficult for me but in my household, a concerted effort is made to purchase free range, organic and humanely treated animal products. Where Singer see’s no need for meat in a diet that can be supplemented with non-animal products for nutrition, I feel that the separation created is too much too soon for most Americans and other industrialized nations. Singer does aptly point out though, that “Our custom is all the support that the meat-industry needs. The decision to cease giving it that support may be difficult, but it is no more…

    Summary of "The Case for Animal Rights" Summary and Response Paper. This was written about the story "The Case for Animal Rights" by Tom Regan.

    The author argues inherent value. Regan points out animals should be able to experience life with inherent value of their own. Addressing commercial animal agriculture, the author declares "The fundamental moral wrong here is not that animals are kept in stressful close confinement or in isolation, or that their pain and suffering, their needs and preferences are ignored or discounted." Regan continues the only way to right the wrong would be to stop…

    Getting Real About the High Cost of Food

    “Getting Real About the High Price of Cheap Food,” by Bryan Walsh, (2009) was interesting but a stomach churning read. As I leaped through the paragraphs, I could imagine the nausea that the average animal-loving Americans might think after reading how animals are treated on corporate farms. It is a given that in this article, not only are the animals seemingly just for profit; the American public is viewed essentially the same.…

    Animal Cruelty on Factory Farms

    “This is horrible! I can’t even watch this!” Those were my immediate thoughts the first time my eyes were opened to the inhumane animal cruelty on factory farms. Factory farming enables mass production to supply the demands of today’s society but also enables the cruel treatment of animals. We need to end the cruelty and abuse that these animals have to endure at the factory farms because it causes loss to the business, reduces the quality of the product produced, and endangers the health of those who buy the product. We can promote humane treatment of factory farm animals by prevention through education, by enforcing humane laws by being an example of humane animal treatment, and by donating and/or volunteering at local humane law enforcement agencies.…

    Factory Farming Effects

    Though some have prevailed, many have failed, and this is because there are no specific laws that forbid certain animal farm practices, such as beak removal of chickens. This allows for corporate moguls to walk away usually penalty-free, even if their ethics are called to question. With the environmental impacts becoming more and more apparent, however, more people around the globe are beginning to realize that a change must be made, and perhaps will universally come to the conclusion that the end to factory farms are, in fact,…

    Speech Animal Abuse

    Speech Animal Abuse

    Animal abuse is a topic that most people are aware of in this day and age. But to clarify this is not going to be a speech appealing to the pity of Sarah McLachlan's song during animal cruelty commercials. Believe me this topic is truly sad, but its gets worse when you look into the current problems. I will elaborate on what is currently being done. The SPCA is a very large benefactor in stopping animal abuse as many of you probably know by their numerous commercials asking for donations and public awareness but they cannot take this entire burden on their shoulders alone. The type of animal abuse I would like talk about is specific to farm animals. This is a particular topic that many people do not consider. The example i am going to use first is the life of a cow and then elaborate on chickens. A female cow on a dairy farm is repetitively impregnated, again, and again for the production of milk. Hundreds of cows residing on thousands of dairy farms across america are artificially inseminated to constantly produce milk for our consumption. After a time of nine months the cow gives birth to a calf, within hours or a day the calf is taken from the mom and transported to a veal…

    Persuasive Essay On Factory Farm

    How would you feel being trapped in a cage? Not being able to move because of such a large crowd in such a confined space? How would you feel being surrounded by disease, illness and constant abuse? To animals, this is known as a factory farm. Factory farming is where animals are packed as closely together as possible, most never see or feel sunlight, able to get fresh air or even able to turn around. These terrible conditions have serious effects on the animals physically and mentally. Disease spreads and fights break out between animals. This worldwide epidemic known as Factory farming began when greedy people began to modify farms to maximise profit for themselves but because of this, it not only has a terrible impact on animals but people. We the consumer assume most of our food and dairy products comes from “Happy Farms” with the help of Little Bo Peep. When in reality that's a lie we tell ourselves of where our food comes from so we sleep at night. So if Factory Farming is not only abusing animals but ourselves because of what we are eating should…

    Factory Farming

    Animal rights are practically non-existent in many different ways today. Factory farming is probably the worst thing they can do to the poor helpless animals. Factory farming effects chickens, cows, pigs, and many other animals that are used for food, milk and eggs. One of the biggest organizations against factory farming is called Compassion Over Killing (COK). They go to great lengths to protest and inform people about animal cruelty.…

    Factory Farm

    Our society is showered with happy animals living on a farm where the cows graze in lush green fields and the chickens have the run of the barnyard. This free-roaming image of an animal living out their days in sunny fields is far from reality. A majority of the animals that are raised for food live miserable lives in confined, dark, overcrowded facilities, commonly called "factory farms."…
