Banning Of The State Of Maharashtra

The beef industry is an important asset to United States agriculture as a whole. Over a million agricultural entities benefited from the sales of cattle and calves in the year 2000. Gross totals from sales of cattle and calves in 2000 totaled $40.76 billion accounting of 21% of all agricultural receipts making the beef sector the largest single agricultural enterprise. Direct and indirect employment in or related to the production and processing of beef supports over 1.4 million full-time-equivalent jobs in the US as well. Cattle are produced in all 50 states and their economic impact contributes to nearly every county in the nation and they are a significant economic driver (Lawerance and Otto, 2000).

"This is no fairy story and no joke; the meat will be shoveled into carts and the man who did the shoveling will not trouble to lift out a rat even when he saw one." (Sinclair “The Jungle”). When it comes to having safe and approved food, our esteemed nation does not have the greatest reputation. Ever since the use of slaughter houses and meat packing plants began, people have been getting severely ill and even dying

When, I was growing up my parents would rarely very buy meat from grocery. My parents would go over and beyond when it came to buying meat. A couple of my uncles and one aunt would go with my parents in-group to Indiana. They would drive to farm in Indiana to buy their meat. She would go and pick out the cow that seemed joyful. My mother always said, “in order to have delicious meat. You must pick a looks relaxed and joyful means they have been feed properly and taken care of.” I first did not understand her when I was young. After, I traveled to visit my mother’s side of the family in small village in Yemen named Yafa is when I knew what she meant. Inside the village, all the cows, goats, sheep, and chickens were treated so much love. I was told the animals such as goat would be feed special food, so the meat would taste better. Animal cruelty reflects on our meat product, which is why we need to switch to organic local small

The conditions in which meat livestock live in is not exactly that of a large open green field in which they are free to roam and be merry. In the Economist article, Cows down: The beef business (2008) the effects of the ill conditions cows talks of how a

Namit Arora’s article On Eating Animals captures the horrors of the meat industry. Arora is a true animal activist who describes instances in which cows try to escape slaughterhouses, but they are usually recaptured and killed. Arora portrays these events and statistics through a reprimanding and critical tone. This tone appeals to the audience’s feelings of guilt about the purchase of meat wherein the inhumane killing of farm animals takes place. He incites guilt in order to reveal the twisted system that Americans call the meat industry.

Schlosser says about 100,000 of us get sick each year from bacteria in beef. And that says these animals we eat are what they eat. Despite fears of "mad cow" disease, federal law says it's still okay to feed them such food as dead pigs, dead horses, dead poultry and poultry waste.

Mad Cow Disease should be taken very seriously because it can affect the whole world, even if your country is unaffected by the disease. Mad Cow is not a new disease, for it has been around for a few decades. Precautions and regulations should have been set for European countries and the United States a long time ago. Luckily the United States has been blessed with the geographical difference from the rest of the commotion going on in the European nations. This paper discusses the history and the time of infection for most of the counties in the infected areas; furthermore, the economic agriculture affected in countries, and the economic effect on the United States; and what exactly the government and other countries are doing to protect themselves and other nation from the spread and incubation of this disease.

2. For there policies they have religious stance. 3. Health issues to be concern is the high risk product of their chicken.

The first one he addresses is “Mother Cow” and why the “Hungry peasants in India refuse to eat all those cows” (11). Harris starts off by saying the “Hindus venerate cows because cows are the symbol of everything alive.” (11). He even describes how the cow has caused tensions between the Hindus and the Muslims who do not have the same view on saving the cows which makes the Muslims “cow killers” (13) in the eyes of the Hindus. But then after a few pages of giving the western view of how bad it is that India has all these cows and a shortage of food he proceeds to give a step by step listing of why it is actually good that the Hindus do not eat their cows. For example he talks about how the cows are used to till the land. If American farmer tractor breaks down he does not have the ways to produce a new one himself but in India “he who owns a cow has a factory to make a new oxen.” (16) This is why an Indian farmer may be willing to accept a cow that produces less milk because it can produce a “new tractor.” The cow’s manure can also be used as a fertilizer. Also since India’s cities are so overcrowded “low-energy, small scale, animal based systems” helps keep people in the country. Harris puts this dilemma, eating cows or

Meat, everyone loves meat. Well, except for vegetarians. I for one am a meat lover; if you asked me to choose between a healthy salad and an oily heart attack burger, I would go for the burger. I eat fast food once in a while, and I do like the burgers. At times, I would wonder where the meat comes from since it tastes different from burgers that come from actual restaurants. Many people other than me eat fast food daily and have become a habit for them. In addition, due to the rise in costumers, fast food industries opened many more restaurants, which led to a higher demand of meat. Due to this high demand for meat, meat industries are starting to use various ways to produce meat quickly. However, speeding up the processes can cause meat

Without an animal protection law and without the local government enforcing strict security supervision, we cannot stop the dog slaughtering. While we push for animal protection legislation, we have to face the helpless truth that large number of animals will be killed. In the meantime we need the existing laws and regulations to be used.

The government’s role in the food industry seems as if it is to protect the reputations of these companies instead of the well-being of its workers and consumers. This statement is made clear in the “What’s In Meat” chapter

Each day, millions of Americans flock to grocery stores, picking out the food they plan to eat, often placing a beef product in their shopping cart. Most people set it down in their shopping cart and keep going along their day, not even thinking about how the animal it came from lived its life, was killed, and how the meat was packed. However, there are many people who oppose the meat industry’s execution of these processes, regardless of it being very efficient and inexpensive. There have been many inside investigations attempting to expose the meat industry, making it known to the public how poorly these animals, predominantly cows, are treated, in order to make a new law that would change the methods used. These exploitations have been

Conflict perspective says law is an expression of political power, on the other hand, consensus perspective says it is an expression of values. Clifton D. Bryant argues that ‘subjects who conflict with the norms and demands of authority are more likely to be labeled criminal; therefore, authority plays a bigger role in criminalizing behaviour compared to subjects committing the behaviour.’ For instance, slaughtering cow in Nepal is criminalized by the state because the authority’s religion is Hindu and they worship cow as a God. But, there are other 70% people who are not Hindu and sometimes they slaughter cow for meat. If Nepal’s authority finds this kind of act, it is an offence and the offender is punished. Nepal’s law has defined that slaughtering a cow is same like slaughtering a man. But in Hong Kong and in other parts of the world millions of cows are slaughtered every day for restaurants’ kitchen and it is not criminalized. In Nepal time to time political voice is aroused for demanding that slaughtering cow for meat should be legalized. But the interest of the authority does not match the demand; therefore, slaughtering cow is still criminal act in Nepal.

The city of Mumbai is the largest city in India, with a population of roughly 19.3 million people (World Population Review, 2014). One reason that Mumbai has grown to such extent is its convenient location. Located on a peninsula off the west coast of India and boarding the Arabian Sea, Mumbai has easy travel access to the Middle East and inland India (Earth Explorer, 2015). The Mithi River flows through the heart of the city and connects into Mahim Bay, which provides further transportation capabilities for those in the area (2015). Both Powai and Vihar Lake are located further inland and provide drinking water for the people of Mumbai (“Mumbai”, 2014). North of Vihar Lake is Sanjay Gandhi National Park, the world’s largest national park, which is a preservation of forest area that covers 104 square kilometers (Mehta, 2013). This national park is not only rich in resources and biodiversity; it also is a popular tourist area that has about 2 million annual visitors (2013). In addition to the thousands of plant and animal species that live in this forest area, such animals in preservations include panthers, antelope, moose deer, wild bears, monkeys, leopards, tigers, etc. Mumbai has a tropical wet and dry climate that does not fluctuate much throughout the year (Pacione, 2006). Average temperatures typically range between 60-100°F year round (2006). From January through May and October through December, Mumbai experiences dry weather with little rain. Monsoon season lasts
