Livestock

An employee is not just going through the motions of a specific duty, one is expected to follow humane slaughter laws and treat the animals with respect. When the 1958 Humane Slaughter Act was passed in the U.S., this was in order to prevent livestock from “needless suffering.” After the 1993 incident at a Jack in the Box where an episode of E. Coli killed four children, people wanted to improve conditions. Along with acknowledging the well-being of the animal the laws focus on higher sanitation…

meat, and milk. Using these, they were able to develop more as a society compared to other places without livestock. Domesticated animals helped Europe evolve against smallpox since smallpox was…

The Truth Behind Animal Agriculture Samantha LeMere Globe University The population continues to grow in the United States, the demand for variety meat is higher than ever. Stated in The Morning Edition, the average human will consume about 270.7 pounds of meat per year (Eliza Barclay, 2012). Has it ever occurred to mankind the measures we are taking to keep up with the supply and demand of these protein rich foods? Because of increased need of supply, farm animals are arguably treated in an…

The constitution guarantees certain unalienable rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately, many corporations have banded together and created an industry that systematically denies the American people these fundamental rights. The current structure of the U.S. food industry is destroying America’s health. The way our food system has changed in the past 50 years has created an unethical industrial farming system that is responsible for the inhumane…

Ted Nugent once said “If you want to save a species simply decide to eat it, then it will be managed, like chickens, turkeys, deer, and Canadian geese(katie123).” What is more painful, a deer getting harvested by a well educated hunter, or being hit by a car and having to live with a broken leg? Hunting is good because it helps maintain the environment, it is healthy meat, and without it, there would be a negative impact. Over the course of one year in the U.S there were 1 million car accidents…

talk. The sand flies buzzing in our ears didn’t seem to bother him. “I had a happy childhood,” Lekoloi began, speaking in the local Samburu language. The youngest of eight children born to the last of his father’s six wives, Lekoloi grew up herding livestock, like many young boys in rural…

the outside, fresh air and sunlight, will also be their last, as they will be on their journey to the slaughter house (Patterson). That is a very depressing thought, but it is regrettably very true in most cases. Chickens, and a majority of all livestock, will never experience true nature. They are born, raised, and killed in what is said to be a “farm”. During a TED talk on the current food system, 11 year old Birke Baehr explained the sad realism of modern day farming. “I also used to think…

First of all, despite the question, I believe that people should follow what we always been doing and not to change just because. However, if I had to choose, I think eat at a lower trophic level would be more beneficial to humans. Now days, people are usually eaten higher on the food chain, but this could be not as efficient environmentally. As the trophic level goes up, 90% of the energy will be lost which means that we are only getting 10% of our food’s energy, the rest are being used to make…

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…

enhance their performance. The average stock unit produced approximately 4kg of wool, resulting in a total of 19,000 kg of wool produced over the year. Beef cattle (mainly cull cows and dry heifers) were predominantly sold in March. A portion of livestock units were sold in later in the previous year, this created a niche for the enterprise as less beef units are sold at this time. Cows generally weighed 550-650 kg while the bulls weighed 800-900…
