Feral Pigs Are Destroying the State of Texas

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.

Feral Hog Release Impacts and Management solutions The devastation of soil, natural habitat and the destruction of mass farmlands all caused by the notorious feral hogs that has become nature’s neighbor that we have all come to despise. Today I would like to discuss how this resilient species has impacted the

Feral pigs are omnivores, preferring succulent green vegetation, fruit, grain, and a wide variety of animal meat including, frogs, reptiles, birds, small mammals; and carrion. They also feed on underground plants such as root, bulbs, corms, and fungi. As a result of fossicking for food. The vast diet of feral pigs can cause severe environmental damage to vegetation. Feral pigs can also cause erosion of soil and damage to the native species of animals and vegetation. The requirement of protein and energy in a pig's diet is very high. This is needed for breeding, successful lactation and growth of young.

In his article “Boss Hog: The Dark Side of America’s Top Pork Producer,” (Rolling Stone Magazine, December 14, 2006) Jeff Teitz reports that not only are millions upon millions of pigs being abused and slaughtered each year by America’s largest pork producer, but, in turn, the waste produced by those

Texas has a long history of conflict with the federal government over laws and policies, particularly when dealing with environmental, social, and educational issues. Texas has conservative right-wing views and has been in conflict more often with the federal government since President Obama has been in office. The dilemma generally arises from a clash in opposing political and social views. One major issue that has arisen in over the course of the last two years has been a battle over funding for Planned Parenthood. Although the courts have deemed that this quarrel is not about abortion rights or access to abortion, the truth of the matter is that it really is. Texas leaders are against abortion and are trying to skirt federal law that allows abortion by imposing their personal agenda opposing abortion or anything that seemingly supports abortion on the Texas people. The problem is that in the midst of this chaos, low-income women of Texas are the ones who are suffering through the loss of basic and preventative healthcare.

The rise of meat consumption in the United States has resulted in many large-scale animal agricultural practices operating all over the country. The hog industry, in particular, is highly concentrated in eastern North Carolina. This industry has proven to be problematic because of hazards to the environment and public health. The negative mental and physical health impacts associated with living near hog farm operations in North Carolina is largely felt by low-income minority groups, who suffer greatly from this environmental injustice.

The Politics of Texas The state is made up of different sectors all in existence and intertwined each other. The constitution serves many functions in the operations of the government and the life of the people governed. The document houses the rules of the land and the conditions governing the way the various sectors of the economy react and act in a mutual status. The constitution is the key to the viable existence of the people of Texas providing the fundamental rules and laws for the inception and operations of legal laws (Brown et al., 2014). Likewise, the constitution outlines the underlying breakdown of the way the individual powers and limits to the powers in place exist.

All forests accumulate dead and dried up bits of sticks and leaves that can easily catch fire. These conditions make wildfires inevitable. Cruelty is just as inevitable, and perhaps just as natural. Throughout the story, the boys repeatedly cry “Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the

Most of the pigs raised in the U.S. live on large scale factory farms where they are overcrowded and treated inhumanely. At an extremely young age, piglets are stolen from their mothers and placed in crowded, windowless pens. Due to being jampacked, the piglets do not have much range of motion and are constantly laying in their own waste material. This can cause extreme irritation so they begin biting each others tails, causing farmers to rip off their tails and teeth without a sedative to ease the pain. Most sows in the U.S.

To make matters worse there are evident racial and socioeconomic factors that have been observed in relation to hog farms in

The natural disaster we are going to focus is flooding. Laredo Animal Protective Society also known as LAPS, is an organization that helps protect many pets that are abandoned. With the support of LAPS, dogs and cats are able to be treated with care and love. Our class will be partnering with LAPS organization and we will be focusing on how we can help in case of a natural disaster.

Pigs are unable to move in their cages. The baby pig ears, tails are cut off and their teeth are chopped off to prevent them from harming other pigs. They are castrated without any pain killer. The baby pigs are given antibiotics to promote rapid growth. Their body grows, so

Inside The Walls Factory farms have abused these animals in way that is so horrific, it is not often revealed to the public what really goes on inside these “farms.” Animals such as chickens are shoved together into battery cages to the point where they are unable to move. Their beaks are cut off without anesthesia, and they are propelled with antibiotics and excessively fed for the purpose of making their breasts larger quickly. The excessive feeding makes their bodies grow unnaturally and disproportionally – causing heart failure, respiratory troubles, chronic pain, and leg weakness; after a hen’s egg production reduces at a certain age, the bird will be shocked into its final laying cycle and then be sent to slaughter to be used as food scraps – if they are not already killed on-farm. As for mother pigs, they spend up to four months in gestation crates with only limited mobility during their pregnancy. "Her piglets are

Speaking of which, all of you are well aware we pigs now carry whips in our trotters. Comrades, whips are not tools of violence and mass destruction, the humans have made it that way! It is simply impossible to think we pigs, guardians of the farm, would use whips to terrorize you all (Appeal to Consequences of a Belief)! These whips are means of ascendancy and dominion put in place to make Animal Farm run as smoothly as possible (Euphemism, Inflated Language). We pigs are trained to execute distributionally robust optimization and these whips facilitates us to do so (Jargon, Inflated

Now where going to talk about different types of traps. There are snares, leg traps, and live traps. They can all be used for any animal, some just work better then others. When using snares I think it works best when there is a fence line. I usually look for fur in the barbwire because if there is fur that means there’s animals crossing there. I just take the snare and some wire and put it right there where the animals are crossing and leave it set for a few days before checking it again. If I really wanted to go all out on the set I would put some bait or lures around it.
