The Ethics Of Factory Farming

Factory farming is heavily prevalent in todays society. Most nearly all of the meat and by products of animals come from animals raised in factories, robbing them of living and fulfilling a full life. I one hundred percent agree with Blake Hurst that “only ‘industrial farming’ of meat can possibly see the demand for an increasing population and increased demand for food as a result of growing incomes”. The world today is growing at a way too rapid pace for natural production of animals. The days of animals happily roaming around Grandma’s farm are over. These environmentalists need to understand this. All of the protestors concerned about animal rights need to think about the HUMAN RACE for a second. Science has shown that these farm animals- …show more content…
They do not know what is happening to them and, frankly, they don't care. They are here to exist and be eaten. Any human being that would put the needs of these farm animals before their own are lying to themselves. Farm animals cannot realistically think for themselves or make their own decisions.

It would be a different story if animals were reproducing at the same rate as humans, but they are not. This may have worked hundreds of years ago, but the world we live in today is not the same one our parents and grandparents grew up in. Requirements for survival have changed drastically over the last few …show more content…

The human population is rapidly increasing with absolutely no sign of slowing down This demand for food and other resources required to live has caused the food manufacturing companies to have to keep up with the population, causing changes in the way the food is retrieved from the animals. Instead of mother nature taking care of food for humans and letting these animals grow up naturally and chemically free, food companies are speeding up the growing and maturing process in any way possible to keep up with consumer demand. This does not necessarily mean that what they are doing is bad. They have to make a living and we have to eat. Naturally or not, some one has to meet the demand for food. And these food industries are meeting the need. Despite countless shots taken for animal abuse, these companies continue to keep pumping out food from these factories at an immensely fast
