Pork chop

Livestock cage laws I am going to prove that the new livestock cage laws are wrong. Gestation crates and farrowing crate are helpful and should not be banded. I believe that no matter what people think there are many benefits by using these pens. I am planning to give the reasons to keep them, and then give the counter thought and why it is weak. New cage laws would harm livestock because when hogs are pregnant, they attack other hogs, mother can also crash their piglets and chickens are in…

Three Little Pigs, Inc. (PIGS), a public entity, is a vertically-integrated provider of pork products to the wholesale and retail food service and institutional markets in the United States. The Company produces approximately 4.1 million hogs per year and processes the majority of the hogs in its own facilities. The Company also sells a portion of the hogs produced (live hogs) to outside third parties. PIGS does not have any firm commitments to sell live hogs to third parties, nor does it hedge…

Slaughterhouse Abuse Every day, thousands of animals are killed due to improper and inhumane ways of killing for their meat. According to Animal Rights Action, there is such a high demand for meat, workers don’t stop for anything. With improper and poor methods of killing, this can lead to unsafe work areas for the workers, fecal contamination with meat, bacteria and pathogens landing on meat, it makes you second guess where your meat, eggs and milk came from. A lot of times when slaughter…

Feral Hog Control The feral hog (Sus scrofa) is not native to any area within the United States. The first European settlers were the first to introduce the domestic swine into the United States. The pigs were brought here so that the settlers would have a ready food supply if need be (Ditchkoff and West 2007). Since then the Eurasian wild boar was brought over as a game species and bred with the domestic swine we now have feral hogs in the United States (Brisbin and Mayer 2009). The first…

Despite the name, they are not pigs at all, nor do they come from Guinea. Guinea pigs were first domesticated as far back as 2000BC in the South American Andes mountains, from a region we now call Bolivia and Peru. They were originally kept as food, but many may have become family pets for children to rear as pets back then. Guinea pigs are also called 'Cavy'which is short for Cavia Porcellus, their official name. Male guinea pigs are referred to as boars and females are called sows. In…

is a common question asked across the country on a daily basis. As the demand for animal protein rises locally and globally at unprecedented rates, more often than not, the question of what are we eating tends to be answered with beef, chicken, or pork. As garnered from course readings and lectures, there are many health and environmental concerns associated with animal protein consumption. As our nation faces an abundance of public health questions regarding the safety of animal protein…

across an interesting question, “Animals eat each other, so why shouldn’t we eat them?” In Islam, Muslims are not allowed to eat animals that eat other animals, that’s forbidden. Because Islam forbidden anything that harms the human body. Pork for example, pork is forbidding because Pigs have NO neck that makes it difficult to be slaughtered the Islamic way by the insert of a knife in the neck and therefore getting purged of the blood, which holds a plenty of uric acid, a toxic chemical material…

When it comes to enslaved Africans, the general public often only focus on their lives as slaves. In our effort to acknowledge the terrible ways that African slaves were mistreated, we often forget that, at the end of the day, slaves were still human beings, with their own beliefs, tastes, and culture. Unfortunately, most historical records do not document the daily lives and cultural practices of enslaved Africans due to their inherent biases (Young et al. 1998:168). Luckily, archaeology can be…

We are what we eat, so knowing where exactly our food comes from is crucial. When it comes to food, what are we really eating? These questions have sparked my interest in the food industry and how food goes from production to your plate. Chickens, cows, pigs, and other farm animals are subject to abuse in these meat farms. Many never get to live outdoors and most of them are usually forced to live in tiny cages or warehouse floors without even seeing daylight. Chickens and pigs are crammed into…

cannibalism. He asked me why I am eating raw beef and said that is disgusting. I was shocked and I asked if he eats Pig, then he replied no! That is “dirty”. How about pork I followed up, and then he expressed his love for pork with passion. I told him on my turn, which is disgusting. Why pork not pig? Sarcastically I asked! Because pork is cooked meat, pig is not! He replied. I understood that his reaction was from the lack…
