In my opinion, world wide should have free range hens so there are healthier hens and eggs resulting in less salmonella spread, if they were free range they would be less stressed and they would not be so close together which would cause fights. If they were free range they would be healthier, and their eggs would be healthier for humans to eat because it would not carry salmonella, and the environment would benefit in many ways. Also the costs of free range living would be distributed onto the consumers in many ways.
Free range would cause less fights, dead hens, and feces covered eggs. Which would make it harder to spread salmonella. Versus caged breeding, which causes trampling, dead hens and salmonella spread. If free range was world

consumers would want to know what their product is fed, so organic is the way to go. Free range is also around cleaner environment. Where as caged are around chemicals which can cause salmonella spread. antibiotic resistant diseases,food poisoning, polluted waters these are all issues with caged hens and the environment around them. salmonella has caused about seventy deaths each year since year 2000. More deaths can accumulate due to water and air pollution due to chemical use. Free range uses no chemicals and uses all organic products, which overall is healthier for environment, humans and animals. which will lead to world wide free range hens.
In conclusion world wide should have cage free hens so there is healthier hens and eggs resulting in less salmonella spread. Which would make death rate plummet. If free range became world wide it will lower the cost down the road. It can lower the cost because there would not be any competition between organic and non-organic products if everyone was well educated on where their food comes from. Which will benefit all hens and humans in a positive way. There will be no more chemical use for a healthier environment, which will benefit future generations to
‘What is the Treaty of Paris? Why does it matter to me?’ Well, to answer these questions, the Treaty of Paris was a document signed on September 3, 1783. This document was a significant event in history because it represented the British acknowledgment of American Independence. The French and Indian War (the cause for the treaty) was the result of France and Great Britain’s conflict mainly over Ohio River Valley and one other territory. Without it, who knows what America would be like today.
Chickens used for egg production typically live in one of many battery cages crammed into a long windowless shed. Ten or more of these hens are packed together in a cage that is about the size of a drawer in a filing cabinet. This causes frustration and fighting between the hens. To keep this from happening, farmers often cut or burn part of their beaks off without medicine to dull the pain. Hens who become sick are usually not given proper veterinary care and are left to die slowly and painfully. Some of the eggs laid by the hens are hatched by another industry to supply more chickens for egg production. Since the hatched male chicks cannot lay eggs, they are often killed by grinding or suffocation. When the hens grow old and stop producing as many eggs, many farmers will deny them proper nutrition to try and “shock” their bodies into laying eggs one last time. Then they are slaughtered and their bodies are used for food scraps.
In Chapter 14 of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Michael Pollan points out that “at Polyface, the Salatins try to work with the natural instincts of their animals, not against them. When Joel lets his chicken loose in a pasture, he is using their natural instinct to clean up after herbivores….Instead of treating chickens as egg-laying machines” (Pollan 192). Unlike the industrial food chain, where the chicken is kept in the factory and is forced to eat GMO soy and corn. Chickens in Polyface are free to run around in the pasture and the chickens get to eat what is naturally for them. Secondly, Pollan notes that a place called “CAFOs-Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations” contains tons on toxic waste from cows who are forced to eat GMO corn and CAFOs “are also breeding grounds for new and deadly bacteria” (Pollan 61-62). CAFOs are unsafe for cows because the feedlots contain bacteria which can possibly harm and kill animals. Different from industrial, in local sustainable farms, cows are not forced into eating corn, but instead, eat what is natural to them like grass. Seeing that cows in local sustainable eat grass, the cow manure is not toxic but instead, the manure is full of protein for the chickens to eat. Generally speaking, local sustainable farms’ animals are healthier because the animals are allowed to follow their natural instincts, free-range, and not easily exposed to harmful
Instead of unsustainable farming destroying the land and pumping foods chock full of pesticides, the land is able to thrive in a managealbe cycle with no end in sight. Instead of being fed corn and locked up, animals are able to graze on grass and roam sunny green pastures. And so, in the end, are you going to drive through the drive through of some chain fast food joint, for an insanely low price, or buy your food from a neighbourly open farm with humane conditions and healthier food? I think the best choice is
Layers practically spent their youth to maturity confined in cages no bigger than their bodies. The cages are densely packed next and on top of one another. Laying hens are frequently starved to maximize their eggs production. The goal is to maximize production with amount of effort. The way I see it: It is like life in prison for those hens. They cannot move and even flap their wings. Living in overcrowded area, it is a natural tendency for the birds to peck at each other. To solve that problem, new born chicks will get part of their top beaks cut off without any painkillers. Many chicks experience pain and unable eat for days. When hens can no longer produce eggs, they are killed and sent elsewhere. Why would one kill those hens? Can we still use them for
Multiple people are switching from non- organic to free range organic chicken, but many people may ask what that means. Free range refers upon how the chicken was raised. Mass production farms shove as many chickens as they can in one small area with no exposure to sunlight or fresh air at all. On the other hand, free range chicken have many benefits such as exposure to fresh air and sunlight and also have a very healthy diet. Some farmers would think of out doors as a cement slab on the side of the building, but in 2010 the access to pasture rule was created.
Many years ago, backyard chickens were commonplace throughout the United States of America – mainly for nutrition. During that time, backyard chickens were easy to take care of and a small number of them could feed a family with meat and eggs for a bargain. Years later, manufacturing food became the way of life and
Every year, over 58 billion farm animals are killed by humans for food production, and this astounding number does not even include sea creatures. This is known as factory farming – the system of inhumane raising of livestock for the purpose of supplying food for human consumption in the cheapest way possible. It is argued that factory farming should be illegal and banned worldwide not only because of its cruelty towards animals but also because the low quality meat can produce harmful diseases and major health concerns to consumers.
It is no secret that meat plays an enormous role in the diet and culture of many countries. Each year, approximately 56 billion land animals are raised and killed worldwide for human consumption (Edwards). By 2050, this figure is predicted to double, making animal production growth rate higher than any other agricultural sub sector in the developed world. Over the last decade, small and medium livestock farms have been replaced by large industrialized factory farms, raising large numbers of livestock indoors in conditions intended to maximize production at minimal cost (Edwards). These sentient beings suffer from intense confinement and as research reveals, we are being forced to either change our ways or face devastating consequences as discussed in this paper. Meat, egg, and milk production are not only focused on the slaughtering of farm animals, but the animal agriculture sector also includes feed grain production and energy expenditures to transport feed, live animals, and animal products, which requires large amounts of
Chicken, lamb, turkey, milk, pork, eggs, fish, etc., all contribute to the environmental problems facing the planet. The fossil-fuel energy consumption to protein output for these livestock are as follows: chicken has a 4:1 ration, lamb 50:1, turkey 13:1, milk protein 14:1, pork 17:1, and eggs at a 26:1 ratio. This averages out to almost eight-times more “fossil-fuel energy than production of plant protein” (Pimentel). In addition, each animal has its own benefits and downfalls. Pigs propose a lower carbon footprint but if raised in ideal free-range environments they can pollute the soil with nitrogen (Goffman 5). Chickens pose the threat of spreading bacteria through rivers and streams and spurring algal growth which create “dead zones”,
The ethical dilemma is we’re cheating the system. Five minutes of outdoor time give us the ability call our chickens “free range”, created a problem of trust with your consumers. Your consumer may actually buy the chicken because they think it’s actually free range, but if they find out that you are lying or using a loop hole, there is a chance they will stop buying.
As a land owner, I value every individual under my roof and monitor their finances. Since Jonathan Swift proposed everyone to consume the most insignificant members of our society, I believe we must follow through to see the most improvement. Our economy would flourish. Markets would use the skin and the meat to sell for multiple reasons, overpopulation would decrease, and
I wanted to explore through media to see how gender roles are portrayed through television shows. I decided to pick How I Met Your Mother, and Arrested Development series to compare the two shows on how they are different and similar on how they represent the gender stereotypes. By comparing these shows, we could find out if the television series over time show less gender stereotype views or that it may very well still be a continuous fashion that the media will follow. Even though there gender roles that still exist in America, I think that over time we will see the changes on gender expectations by less stereotypes demonstrated in the more recent television series and movies. Through media, it is expected for the role of men in society to behave as the provider, the protector, dominate.
Backyard poultry rearing also finds an important role to raise indigenous birds free of stress and harmful residues (Khandekar 2003, Mandal et al. 2006).
In the beginning of the 20th century, Europe was enjoying and embracing the good life of living in peace and prosperity, but behind those sheets of peace and prosperity, many groups and organizations were at work that would eventually lead Europe into war ripping out those sheet of peace and prosperity, exposing the ugliness and horrors of war. The United States wanted to avoid getting involved in World War 1 due to the fat that they believed that the Europeans were unworthy of their support by avoiding all of their political treaties with Europe that would affect their neutrality. Unfortunately the U.S got involved in World War 1 in 1917 and its course of history was impacted domestically.
