Born for Bloodshed

Imagine that you are a helpless rabbit just minding your business at a shelter. Then someone comes along and adopts you. You are ecstatic that you will finally have a forever home. However, when you get to your home, you are fattened up and then murdered so you can become someone’s meal at a top-notch restaurant. This is the sad reality for not just rabbits but many animals. One can only imagine that the farm these rabbits live on are as bloody as the Battle of Shiloh. If we don’t stop these barbaric actions many animals will die. In addition, the slaughterhouses that murder these beings are also responsible for much of the pollution in the water. Therefore not only is killing animals terrible, but it is bad for the earth too.

A girl named Jamie Hittner then went to play with and hold one of the baby bunnies. Soon after Jamie put down the tiny creature, that same bunny escaped the cage. Because of this event a young adult by the name of Nicole Hittner, Jamie’s sister, went over to the man who owned the bunnies. She told him that 90° was too hot for the two black bunnies in the cage and that the cage bars were too far apart making it easy for the babies to escape. The man then explained that the bunnies would be bred or murdered. Then, he placed a little cardboard box so the black bunnies could be shielded from the sun. Frustrated and sad at the man's response, Nicole Hittner let a sniffle slip out as she began to cry. “Don’t give me that look. I swear I’m not a terrible person.” the atrocious man told the Hittner sisters. He seemed to think that brutally killing animals was humane, however many people are against what the man does for his job. “So you just sell them to anyone who wants them?” Miss Hittner asked disgustedly. “We make sure the person would treat them correctly.” the man

    The Civil War (1861-1865),“was an unnecessary condition of affairs, and might have been avoided if forbearance and wisdom had been practiced on both sides,” (Robert E. Lee). 5 years of bloodshed resulted in the victory of the North, a part of the United States that support the abolition of slavery, low-wage workers, tariffs, and other ideas that the South did not. Although the North named the war victorious, many Southerners believe that it was more the loss of the Confederacy than the victory of the Union. The South had substantially less people compared to the North (9 million: 22 million), and 5.5 million of them were Negros. In addition to this factor, the Union won significant battles in the later years of the war, which eventually wore down the Confederacy.…

    Is it worse to harm the animals or harm the Earth? But what if harming the animals harms the Earth as well? The idea of human impact on the earth is prominent in Margaret Atwood’s novel Oryx and Crake. The novel demonstrates that poor sustainability of the planet, such as deforestation, decreased biodiversity, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and the spread of disease harmful diseases, is due to unethical practices on animals, which include genetically modifying organisms, seen through spliced creatures like rakunks and pigoons, as well as raising and consuming animals, evident through ChickieNobs and soy-based meat replacements. Early on in Atwood’s novel, readers are given a clear picture of the world in which Jimmy, one of the main characters,…

    While most Americans don't realize it, the consumption of meat inspires a wasteful misuse of the earth's valuable resources, leaving an irreparable scar on the earth and squandering sources of food that could be used to feed the hungry. 20 billion livestock occupy the earth, three times the number of human beings (Motavalli): in the U.S. alone livestock outnumber people 25 to one. The amount of room required to raise all these animals is massive (Corliss). In South America, about 70 thousand acres of rainforest are destroyed every day to make land for cattle to graze (Hurley 40), and the use of the land is so inefficient that it is estimated that a single vegetarian will save an acre of trees every year. In addition, the large number of animals bred for food produce excrement at a rate of 87,000 pounds per second, or about 20 tons of manure per year for every U.S. household, all of which is eventually routed to rivers and streams.…

    People in today’s world live in a place full of wonderful ideas that benefit society like freedom, democracy, and equal rights. Amongst these ideas lurk hidden dangerous ideals that blend in with the uplifting elements of the modern world. One of these hidden poisons is vegetarianism and veganism. They seem to be helping out the environment and saving animals but all they are really doing is harming others and influencing others to harm themselves the same way. Vegetarianism and veganism are wrong because meat is necessary for a human’s diet, it is costly and unethical to distribute vegetarian meals, and animals are on the earth for the benefit of humans and it is more than okay to eat them.…
