Fur farming

Before I read the chapter of Big Organic, I thought that it would be just like big organic farm. However, after I read the chapter, I found that it was more like an industrial farm in many aspects. The first theme I want to address is environment and economy in Big Organic food system. According to Pollan (2006), the initial goal of organic was to create a food system conforming to the logic of nature. In a natural ecosystem, there are diverse plants and animals draw fertility and energy from…

“Unseen they suffer, unheard they cry, in agony they linger, in loneliness they die” Jo-Anne McArthur. Animals in factory farm endure immense suffering caused by their living conditions, which consequently affect human health, there are different ways to solve this problem. There are many ways animals are mistreated in factory farms. For instance, some workers do not successfully sedate cows and pigs so the animal struggles as they are hung upside down and have their throats sliced. Last Chance…

Locavores are a group of activists who promote eating locally and staying away from industrialized food. Their main argument is about the carbon footprint that shipping food creates, as well as local produce being all around better in freshness and growing conditions. This may seem like a sound argument, but when compared to the negative effects that local eating causes their argument becomes inadequate. Locavores support a movement that hurts the ecosystem and the world. The locavores state…

Dear Parliament and Royal Court of Britain, I will provide a recommendation and information about the Southern colonial region. The Southern colonial region has a rather humid climate, consisting with mild winters and humid summers. Depending on the happening of the battle, it can either be a positive or a negative consequence. If the battle is in summer, then our fighting colonists may be in bad conditions. If the battle is in winter, then they will be unharmed in the weather. For its…

passed. This law works to restore and protect bodies of water in order to make them usable and safe ("History of the Clean Water Act"). However, it does not cover the little things that people are adding to the environment; littering and conventional farming are two huge issues that people get away with every day. The trash and pesticides have detrimental effects on the living things around them. In order to make this legislation more effective, the government must amend the Clean Water Act…

at affordable prices or through donation. The donation of seeds to undeveloped and poorer farmers shows a commitment to society and the advancement of agriculture. To maintain a positive position, the company must take initiatives in sustainable farming and philanthropy (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). The company should also use the “seed police” as a customer service feature. This feature could create differentiation by providing farmers with the necessary education and knowledge to optimize…

Mark Twain’s essay “The Damned Human Race” argues that instead of humans being the “highest animals” in comparison to the other animals of the world they are actually the “lowest animals”. Humans do many things that animals do not, and have many traits that animals do not have. But, all of the traits that set humans apart from animals are not all good. Humans are greedy, humans act as slaves and enslave, and humans have the territorial urge to conquer. These traits may set them apart from other…

Today, most dairies across India produce milk processed from Jersey cows. Desi cows are apparently only to be worshiped, and so these animals can't be considered as cows; as these "holy" cows were originally bred from a wild animal named Urus. In Europe they was called Aurochs. People of Europe hunted this wild animal for it's quality and quantity of meat. But hunting this animal was getting difficult, so this wild animal was cross bred with other various animals along with the indigenous cows…

The progressive movement aimed to restore the economic opportunity and help the lives of Americans. I think that the progressive movement was successful at accomplishing their goals of protecting social welfare, creating economic reform, and fostering efficiency. The progressive movement completed their goal of protecting social welfare in many ways. One way they accomplished their goals was reducing the hours of work for women, thanks to Florence Kelly. Another way they were successful…

As the sun's rays beat upon the farmers, grapes grew lusciously across the striped farmland. Standing as sentries, hills surrounded the farmland. Near the east side of the farmland, a small river snaked it’s way through the land, providing the juvenile grapes with its fresh water. This serene scene is nested within the town of Maple Creek, a town best known for its grapes. “The freshest types of grapes can be found here!” claims a sign that welcomes all newcomers. The town itself houses a…
