In today's modern age, most people on planet earth are meat eaters. Most people partake in some kind of meat product at least once a day. According to Allison Aubrey, an anchor for NPR, “In America, 270.7 pounds of meat are consumed per person every year,” (Barclay 1). When most people eat this meat it is to none of their concern where it came from or how it got to their plate. As the population on earth is growing exponentially it has caused major growth in the demand for meat products across the globe. Due to this demand, the workers in the meatpacking industry are caught in a very tight spot, between treating the animals correctly or doing what allows them to catch a pay check. Naturally these animals rights get immediately disregarded.
