Persuasive Speech On Factory Farm Animals

Improved Essays
You ever wondered what went on down in the United States when they trade food to other countries? You ever wondered what the animals were being fed to them just to be slaughtered afterward? Well, most of the answers will terrify you! Most of the animals are being fed pesticides and dead corpses within those unsanitary farmhouses. It’s honestly more like a prison for those poor animals. I’ll explain to you some major factors that are happening in these farmhouses such as: unsanitary conditions for the animals, animals being force-fed dead corpses and pesticides, and the United States trade market with other countries like Canada. I will teach you that the conditions the animals are facing are a breach of animal right codes within the United States.

“Factory farm operators believe that the less Americans know about what goes on behind their closed doors, the better for the industry. That’s because the animals sent through those factories often endure an unimaginable amount of

They are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined. They are individuals in their own right.” – Jane Goodall. People have to be aware that what we are doing for genetically modified animals in the United States is wrong. In research studies, animals that have been genetically engineered include cattle, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, dogs, cats, fish, rats, and mice. Most of these animals that I mentioned (except for dogs, cats, rats, and mice) are being fed the animals from their own farms. Recently, the last fifty years within America animals are being fed disgusting things like deceased animals, feathers, skin, hair, hooves, blood, manure, plastics, drugs, chemicals, and unhealthy amounts of grains. This results in health problems for humans and animals from digestion to disease. If these problems got out to the public of other nations that trade this would be

    Many of these animals being held in captivity are overly dependent on antibiotics and other drugs which is not an ideal situation (Berry 3). Crops are also dependent on toxic chemicals such as pesticide which many consumers may not be aware of. Berry states the fact that food companies have and are attempting to keep consumers from discovering too much about the issues of the quality and health of their food (3). The only true way to better the treatment of animals to be killed for meat and prevent the spraying of toxic chemicals onto crops is for the public to develop an awareness of what is truly happening in the food…

    Nearly twenty three million animals are killed each day for food, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The majority of the reported twenty three million animals are raised under atrocious conditions, mutilated without pain relief, transported long distances in grimy containers, and finally slaughtered amid the squalor of the abattoir (Francione, 109). The issue that lies before us is not the use of animals as a food resource; it is the inhumane conditions the animals are forced to endure up to their time of death and the suffering that comes along with that. This brutal suffering has allowed agriculture to become one of the most cost effective and profitable industries in the world. While the economic expense of treating…

    Response to Brian Walsh’s “ Getting Real About the High Price of Cheap Food” In Brian Walsh article “Getting Real about the High Price of Cheap Food” Walsh is trying to capture the attention of many unaware Americans and inform them on how our food supply is being made and processed. Many Americans have this image that our crops and meats come from a happy farm like Walsh says, when in reality it is being produced from places Walsh describes as “horrific”. In the article Walsh begins with describing the life of a pig, how and where they are maintained. Walsh describes how the pigs are kept in an overcrowded area, where they are filled with corn and antibiotics that will help them reach their five months of life so then they can go on to feed Americans their cheap food.…

    America has made a lot of changes in the past on becoming more inventive, resourceful, and as well as industrialized. Due to the variations in how our food industries operate, small family-owned farms have rapidly vanished leaving us with large, industrialized productions that mass produce for the benefit of the Large Corporations. Americans expect to be able to have large quantities of food available for purchase at anytime and at a low price. Unfortunately in order to get that food to us at low prices, we have to sacrifice aspects of animal rights, human rights, the environment, and health.…

    In each of the “red meat” categories, factory farms produce over ninety percent of the aliments put onto American tables. Recently, a large anti-agriculture organization by the name of PETA, has been rallying against factory and industrial farming by holding rallies, writing emotional articles, and through academic journaling in attempt to put an end to what they see as outrageous cruelty to animals that are domesticated in factory farms. Published just two years apart, in 2017 Timothy Hsiao wrote the well- rounded “Industrial Farming is Not Cruel to Animals” and in 2015 Yuval Harari, writes “Industrial Farming is one of the Worst Crimes in History” to present his opposing views on the topic. In Hsiao’s piece he utilizes multiple rhetorical…

    Factory farming industry strives to maximize output while minimizing costs - always at the animal’s expense. These giant corporations found that they can make more money cramming animals into unsafe areas, even though many animals get sick and die. These animals never get a chance to raise a family, move around soil, build nests or anything that is natural and important to them. Most of the animals don’t see the light of day or know what fresh air feels like until they are loaded onto the trucks to go to the slaughter house. Images of long green pastures with animals grazing is a faint memory.…

    If we have laws in place for animal cruelty, then why don’t the same rules apply for farming. Seeing the chickens not moving or being able to carry their own weight because they get to big too fast or the cows being throw around with fork lifts and being so closed in they are on top of each other is what made me sick to my stomach. America has a huge problem with the food system, as well as just about every other system they try to regulate. Americans can’t afford quality food and if they can they are at risk for food born illness, or they choose to buy prescriptions for diabetes instead. Last week I was at HyVee.…

    How would you feel about eating something that has been crammed into small dirty cages and forced to stand in its’ own feces? Cows, chickens, pigs, and sheep are forced to withstand harsher conditions, injections of growth supplements (drugs), and smaller living spaces. The results of these conditions lead to mutations, deformities, and diseases (Salmonella and E. Coli) infestations among the livestock kept in captivity. I don't know about you guys, but that does not sound appetizing nor healthy for us to be eating. I believe that the way we are treating the animals we eat is unethical and unhealthy for both the animal and the people who are consuming them.…
