Animal Production: The Twelve Tests Of An Arguable Issue

I plan to write about animal production because the issue of food and it’s ability to be sustainably produced is a current issue that I am interested in. This issue relates to sustainability because if food, live stock, is continually produced at the same rate resources like land, water, and air will be scarce and the damage that animal production will cause will be irreversible. I have applied the Twelve Tests of an Arguable Issue and have been able to answer yes to each question. I would first introduce this issue to an audience who knows nothing about it by bringing up products that the general audience both in the states and internationally consume in order to be more relatable. I would bring up brands like McDonalds or Taco bell …show more content…
I would like to tackle the questions that help us lead to practical solutions, funding, the government and their impact, and what we can do in order to help. I want to know the specifics when it comes to its impact on marine life and environment and answer questions on why we are doing what we are doing and also what we can do moving forward.

Many of the students here consume meat or work in fast food restaurants. I believe that audiences who take part in consuming or the business aspect of the food industry would be interested on the issue. I believe liberals, environmentalists, science professors, and student bodies who communicate with the deans here at UTA would be interested by the issue because this can be one of the things they can focus on that can be an attraction to current and future students here. Investors and college staff who make rules in this school would also be affected by these issues if tackled properly because it can attract a new wave of college students to come to this school who care about STEM or are interested in environmental organizations or programs. Opponents to this would be people who are involved in the food industry, business majors who plan to go to the industries, and people who don’t care about the environment as much as they care about receiving the meat product they eat at a rate they can afford. STEM students, environmentalists, liberals, and the general student who has never heard of this issue could be potential
