Bio Fabricate Meat And Leather

All around the world we use factory farming as our main source of packaging and transporting food. But do you know what happens in the factories and farming facilities? This large industrial operation houses animals raised for food. They treat them with hormones and antibiotics to prevent disease and maximize their growth for food output. Then transported to the factories where they are killed if animals and put on a conveyor belt to be processed by workers.

Every year, an average American will consume approximately one hundred-twenty six pounds of meat. This meat can be traced back to factory farms where the animals are kept to be tortured to turn into a product for the appetite of humans. The terrible treatment these animals are forced to endure is the outcome of the greed and want for a faster production of their product. The industry of factory farming works to maximize the output of the meat while maintaining low costs,but will sadly always comes at the animals’ expense.

Throughout the years of society our views on factory farming have drastically changed. Many people used to think that our biggest problem with factory farming was how we would mutilate and torture innocent animals. Animals would be put in a situation where they would be force fed, and sometimes beaten by humans, the unthinkable has already happened and now we have to think about the long term effects of Factory Farming. However, as significant as the ethical argument is, people are also ignoring the fact of it being so bad for your body. Cancer, H1N1, and  Avian Flu are the main health problems due to Factory Farming. On top of that we have 3 million people getting diagnosed with obesity from all the antibiotics there putting in from the the meat. The amount of people it is affecting is outstanding, not only for the meat but the factory farming also affecting our water. The thing that we thought that was the safest for our bodies in the one thing we have to worry about most, for our generation to the next this is a issue we can’t ignore.

The meat industry today is not what it was nearly a century ago. While improvements are thought to have been made, an ever changing society has brought upon new problems that have been piled on to the previously existing ones. While these problems are not like those found in The Jungle, they do parallel how by exposing what is going on in the meat industry; new regulations would be the answer to the noted problems. The increased demand for meat has made it a rushed mutated production instead of a means to raise livestock for consumers. Taking into consideration the demand for cheap meat that will be used for in quick and high demanded products such as frozen and fast food, this demand of meat has greatly skyrocketed. Animals whose sole

    The first problem is that some people do not see factory farming as a problem. They will put their love for meat above the inhumane treatment of animals. This already puts factory farming

The experimentation of animals has been used for a multitude of years for research to advance a scientific understanding of a living organism. To this day animals are being tested on for the use of human products. In 3D-printing human skin: The end of animal testing? by Jessica Mendoza, Speculative Philosophy, the Troubled Middle, and the Ethics of Animal Experimentation by Strachan Donnelley, “Animals and Medical Science: A Vision of a New Era” by David O. Wiebers, Cruelty-free cosmetics benefit consumers as well as animals by The Sydney Morning Herald, and Technological Alternatives Can End the Experimental Use of Animals by George Dvorsky, show how Animal experimentation is redundant and needs to be diminished because there are

The products of the factory farms can increase in quality by treating the animals humanely. Cleaning up after the animal waste and getting rid of the carcasses will create a better and healthier environment for the animals. Allowing the animals to eat, drink, and rest when at their choice will allow them to grow healthier and not deteriorate as they do now. The protein in the animals will be as it should in a naturally healthy animal, creating a better product.

Many individuals have seen or heard of the videos on the internet of various slaughterhouses across the country as well as the videos of factory farms and how their livestock are raised, along with Rachel Carson’s various books about the dangers of pesticides. Until the 1950’s, farming never used hormones to increase growth pace to achieve meatier animals. Factory farms and the mass production of animals have caused corporations to stop thinking about the quality of their foods, but the quantity and efficiency in which consumers receive it. Factory farm raised animals are produced to become our food and sold in stores, but they do not have to live in such poor, unhealthy conditions or live short lives full of pain. While factory farms are beneficial to the economy, ultimately they are harmful to the environment and the health of people and animals. Therefore we should find alternatives to factory farming.

This artificial diet leads to joint problems, which cause the animals to be in constant pain. Such cruelty is not justifiable, and by becoming a vegetarian each individual can make a small difference. On the other hand, eating meat is not cruel or unethical; it is a natural part of the cycle of life. The conditions for animals in modern slaughterhouses are dirty and violent. The lack of rules and regulations cause animals to be treated poorly because the industry is focused on mass production and profit rather than finding more human alternative to run the meat packing business. The most effective method to stop this cruelty is to learn about where meat comes from, start supporting the organic and family farms, which will ultimately lead to reducing the amount of animals that have to suffer. A wise woman named Linda McCartney once said, “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone in the world would be a vegetarian.” This is one of the truest statements ever made. If people thought about or saw what really happens to animals in slaughterhouses for more than a second, it would get to them and they would not be able to bring themselves to still be a carnivore. Those animals endure some of the cruelest treatment and neglect. Also, slaughterhouses are kept in the most unsanitary conditions and violate more laws then almost any other business. The slaughter of animals for human consumption should be banned.Based on research and my own personal experience,

While reviewing this website, I’ve come to understand that cloning meat is and has been treacherous to us for providing harm to our farm animals by giving them high doses of different chemicals, making them live with birth defects and making statements to deceive the public by saying it’s a harmless process that enhances and multiply the breed of animals when it really does not. The scariest part to this issue is our animals suffer and so do we if we’re meat consumers. (Dan Kedmey) Then studies have proven that bacteriological meat contamination in the US, for the first time was enacted in 1906 when the Pure Food and Drug Act was signed by laws in regards of banning infected and mislabeled products from the interstate commerce. Observations about those risks were associated with bacteriological meat contamination, and about how it should be regulated, has changed significantly since then. This article focuses particularly on changes that have occurred in bacteriological meat contamination standards in the US since the early 1980s when E. coli was for the first time identified as a new foodborne pathogen associated with the consumption of undercooked meat. The idea of cloning farm animals is to produce replicas of the animals with the highest economic value, for example the fastest-growing pigs or the highest-yielding dairy cows to make a profit off of. However the process of cloning itself causes our animals suffering. Animals with the highest economic value are prone to developing severe health problems, pushed to their physical limits; they are destined to a lifetime of suffering. The Cloning equals Cruelty campaign highlighted intrinsic animal welfare issues for selective breeding in animals for food, meat and dairy. Research also shows that many cloned farm animals are born with deformed organs and live short and miserable

Thesis Statement: The U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise animals in their natural environments.

More than ever people are concerned not just about what they are eating, but also about what the animals that provide their meat, are eating as well. I see many potential career avenues as an Animal Science major within the food industry. According to the American Society of Animal Sciences “there are over 500 different job classifications for animal science graduates. Graduates find employment in academic teaching and research, industrial research in the food and feed industries, in laboratory research programs with governmental and international agencies, private corporations….etc.”. Food processors, including meat packers, need workers who are familiar with safety procedures as well as workers who are familiar with the sciences to engineer new

Stem cell meat is also opening doors for vegetarians and giving hope to animal right activists. Animal right activist group PETA started this scientific wave of ideas of creating meat when in 2008, they announced a prize of US$1 million to anyone who could create a stem-cell version of chicken meat. 70 billion farm animals are only brought up to be slaughtered for our consumption each year, and they receive horrible treatment for their whole lifetime, from infections, limbs being cut off while conious, being only feed hormones and antibiotics that prevent disease and maximise their growth and food production. If stem cell meat gains popularity these factory farms will close down, and the animal right activists will have accomplished their

Animals are now being cloned specifically for their meat which is not acceptable. This was approved in 2006 and created a lot of controversy. It is one thing to clone animals for the meat, but the labeling on the package does not need to be labeled that it is from a cloned animal, according to the Food and Drug Administration. On this topic one researcher states, “But critics say that the oft-cited single study was far too limited to yield any meaningful conclusions: Milk and beef was taken from just six cloned animals, and the study did not take into account whether clones were more susceptible to infection or other microbial problems, as many scientists suspect” (Are We Eating Cloned Meat?). Later on in the article the author talks about

In my opinion, the idea of meat and leather bio fabrication is great. I believe that it is the future because the rates of animals being killed are very high and still growing. The issues it brings are already apparent and it will only become worse if nothing will be changed. I think that bio fabricated meat and leather would be a good start to at least reduce the amounts of animals killed. However, I think that the greatest challenge that bio fabrication will face will be to convince people that bio fabricated meat is equivalent to real meat. Andras Forgacs mentioned this in his presentation by stating that people think that bio fabricated products are artificial as they are grown in laboratories. I think that it is hard to find any kind
