Animal Captivity Research Paper

Often, animals’ feelings and well being have been overlooked because society has instilled the idea that animals have no emotions. The Jungle describes animals as being a worker’s project that needs to be completed within a given time limit. After hogs entered Durham’s meat facility, they were chained by the ankles and abruptly tossed around the room; the only audible sound was the “high squeals and low squeals, grunts, and wails of agony”(Sinclair). The hogs anticipated in fear of what was to happen next, bred to be slaughtered for the greater good of humankind. Sinclair describes the workers carelessly

    The poor, shivering animals huddled against the corner of their prison cage, attempting to sleep, but kept awake due to the never-ending pain in their fragile heads and weak body. Any minute they know they'll have to, once again, face the torture of being strapped down to wires and small cups attached to their bellies, or the electrical shocks transported straight to their brains. They moan with pain but have trouble because the vocal chords  have been removed so the screams dont disturb the scientists. They tremble with fear, sensing their fate, hoping it'll end. Fortunately, it will; the scientists will behead them, removing the brains to study and collect

They are loaded calmly onto the truck to go to the plant. If they do not want to load, a rattler or sort board is used to get them to move. Having a non slip floor is also a key part in handling pigs. Pigs also must have access to water in their holding pens and in the alleyways. Pigs rest for at least one hour, if not more, after unloading to make sure they are relaxed and calmed down. It is critical that during the last five minutes before stunning the pigs remain calm. It is a law that pigs must be stunned before slaughter, so that they are completely insensible to pain when it happens. Electric stunning is used, and though the pig may kick and move due to the seizure the stunning induces, they are completely unconscious and to not feel pain. The pigs are hung up and cut so they will bleed out, and an internal audit will check to make sure each pig is dead. The high point of this video was that in a proper plant, the pigs are comfortable before slaughter. If done correctly, and proper measures are taken, the pig will not feel anything and will never

Factory farms pigs are not so happy. Tails of pigs are snipped of at birth and weaned off their mothers ten days

around like a rag dogs​. ​Sometimes when pigs give they can ended up dying when they give birth to

According to Darshana Sivakumar, “the system of breeding animals for slaughter in slaughter houses is unjust. The conditions in which animals are bred are absolutely inhumane” (Sivakumar, 2015). She affirms that many of this animals are confined in very little areas where it is impossible to move mistreating them.

There are only three places a cow raised for beef sees: his selling at an auction, a feedlot, and the slaughterhouse. Once a cow is sold at his auction, he is sent to a feed lot: a dusty holding pen packed with other cows all being injected with the same growth hormones and nowhere to eat or sleep easily. Later, they are sent to the slaughter house where further cruelly treatment is put upon them up to their time of death. Pigs experience the same treatment in factory farms such as Sows being constantly pregnant while living in an 18 by 24-inch pen with many other pigs, no bedding, and possibly tied to the floor. Speaking of the piglet’s tribulations will not be necessary in consideration of ruining Winnie-the-Pooh’s best friend. Factory farming for meat is bad enough yet leather and fur is a beloved

Forced to live in cages or crates slightly larger than their own bodies, some completely alone without any social contact, or some crowded so tight that they cannot turn around or even stretch their wings; unethical treatment that needs to be addressed. These animals are in a constant state of distress while being raised. The inhumanity could be compared to the treatment of the Jew’s in the Holocaust.

To begin with, start thinking about chicken. Yummy chicken. Do you know how you got that yummy chicken? Probably not. Everyone thinks that chickens just die or get killed, yet they don’t think about how. Innocent chickens are thrown into monstrous trucks from their homes and taken to a terrifying factory. They don’t know their deaths await them inside. Their throats are slit and the remaining chicken is boiled. One worker even jumped and squished the poor chickens. He claimed, “I like to hear the cracking of their bones.” These poor innocent animals are treated like dirt.

These animals did not have the ability to comprehend the fact that what the pigs did was almost identical to what the humans had done. To them, the natural world

The most cruel type of animal abuse is to farm animals. Did you know that chickens spend their whole lives in small cages that they can barely fit in? Or that male chick eggs are either thrown into a trash bag to suffocate and die or are chucked into high speed grinders, while still alive? Slaughter houses are where all the action happens. The chicken's legs are shackled together, their throats are cut, and they are thrown into very hot water to remove their feathers. This is unfair to farm animals. Male chickens do not get to live for one day before they are murdered.

A breeding sow is very similar to that of a calf in the veal industry; expect their experiences is prolonged over the years. When impregnated the female pigs are locked in crates that they are not able to stand, walk, or turn in. In some farms, they will take it as far as to tie the sows down with a chain, so they are unable to get up. Many sows will go crazy from the stress and develop repetitive habits called stereotypies. They will often rub their nose up and down on the cage or bite the bars to relieve their stress and keep them occupied. During her four months of pregnancy, she will be in this concrete cage with no comforts (Inside The Pork Industry).

Did you know that pigs can actually be very intelligent animals and their temper can change from certain things? Pigs behavior can sometimes change from either their lifestyle or their from being castrated. When pigs live in pens and not roaming around in a pasture they learn to drink from an automated drinking fout where they have a constant supply of water. In this paper I will be explaining a couple different things about pigs. The first I will talk about will be behavior, then i’ll talk about how pigs react to different objects the next one will be environment, then i'll talk about how food can affect them and finally i'll talk about the commercial and purebred pigs.

Processors often beat the animals while they are still alive and then they skin the fur off of the animals for fur clothing. When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals’ heads, their naked bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Dogs are being beaten very brutally and their fur is taken off while they're still conscious. Workers leave the bodies of the animals that is still alive on other animals. Dogs are stolen from different villages and people houses and send them to their factories, farm, or zoos, and the animal are killed. they use this tool called, “metal tongs”, which clamps the choking cat or dogs around their necks and make them suffer. In China millions

The tale of the “wild pigs” is about why pigs hate humans so much. In the book, A Long Way Gone, the protagonist, Ishmael, was being chased by wild pigs, recalling the tale his grandmother told him when he was younger. This tale provides Ishmael with some insight about his situation. It tells about a hunter who used magic to transform himself into a wild pig. He would lead the herd of pigs into an open area then transform himself into a human by eating a special plant and shoot the pigs. One day, when the hunter was eating the special plant to transform himself into a pig, a pig discover his secret plan and told the herd about it. Once the hunter was gone, the herd went to destroy leaves of the special plant they can find. When the hunter attempts his trickery the next day, he cannot turn into a human again when he lure the herd into an open area, resulting the herd of pigs to tore the hunter into pieces. This made pigs to distrust humans, fearing that any human being they see are there to avenge the hunter. The pigs represent the fellow citizens of Sierra Leone, showing how everybody is turning on each other and as long as you risk to fully conform to one form, then you can avoid being killed.
