People Should Eat Humane Meat

“For most humans, especially for those in modern urban and suburban communities, the most direct form or contact with non-human animals is at meal time: we eat them. This simple fact is the key to what each one of us can do about changing these attitudes. The use and abuse of animals raised for food far exceeds, in sheer numbers of animals affected, any other kind of mistreatment” (Coats). The most effective method to stop this cruelty is to learn about where the meat comes from, by supporting the organic and family farms which will ultimately lead to the reducing the amount of animals that have to suffer (PETA). More than 95 percent of animal abuse in America occurs in the meat packing industry (Harper & Low). Animals suffer an unimaginable amount, they are raised to be killed, then bought and then consumed. In order to help fight back against the abuse, there needs to be a cut back on the amount of meat or poultry that is consumed. Seriously consider the option of becoming a vegetarian; by not eating meat, you completely stop supporting animal

Meat has been a staple food in the diet of mankind since the early ages of civilization. In the article “Is Any Meat Good to Eat?” by Sarah Boesveld, she interviews author Jonathan Safran to share his opinion on eating meat and factory farming. He believes that “...if [people] just ate according to the values they already have, then factory farming would disappear.” Whether or not people realize the sources from which meat in modern day society comes from, they cannot deny the fact that meat is delectable. Sadly, many people who are aware of where their meat comes from will argue that it is unethical to eat meat that is grown purely to satisfy the hunger of people. The ethics of eating meat should not be considered because of the extreme

The animals should be raised and fed in a careful manner. The giant corporations such as Tyson and Cargill, that run most factory farms can make more money by squeezing as many animals as possible into small areas. Because of this, many animals die due to infection, disease or the weight of each other. These are the animals that us consumers eat almost daily. By eating these diseased foods, the consumers are exposed to many types of dangers and threats. The diseased and infected and impure animals are slaughtered without being cleaned or washed. The consumers eat those animals and are then exposed to all of the diseases and infections. These slaughterhouses should be shut down for good before human or animal life is ended because of

At one time man had to hunt to survive, these days that has transformed into hunting for a hobby. Although no longer a necessity to survive, fair game hunting is popular throughout the United States. This is one way to obtain meat to eat as part of your diet. Another and even more popular was is to buy it through the grocery store. The meat through the grocery store is produced on a large scale as quickly as possible. Eating meat from an animal that was legally killed in a fair game environment is more ethical than eating meat from the grocery store.

The author of this work also is very knowledgeable on this topic because it is his area of expertise through much research and studying. While Yount is using questions from undergraduate students, they are easily understood questions. This article adds value to my research paper because it brings the humanity of eating meat into the equation. So as my research essay moves from the human biological need, or lack thereof, to consume meat, this article will help me bridge the gap because of the wide variety of opinions and facts that are presented within it.

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,

Even though meat may provide protein, the animals people consume are treated wrongfully. When animals are not killed, the life they are subjected into is harmful to their growth and development. According to Elizabeth Kolbert in "Should You

Meat production in modern conditions and scope can negatively affect the environment. Unfortunately, the entire global transportation of cars, planes, and ships allocates a large amount of interest and disposing of all greenhouse gases. Because in the world, many people who like to eat meat, countries allocate a huge swath of land to make more room for animals. Also scattered land to feed these animals. According to the article “Vegetarianism” by Ramsey. P, “Animals not confined to feedlots pose different problems for the environment. Overgrazing and disagreements about land use in the western United States have become major battleground issues between ranchers and environmentalists.” I believe that this is a big problem for our environment.

Today meat is in high demand so more and more factory farms are being made. What people do not know is all of the problems with these factory farms compared to a normal farm. They are worse for the consumer for many reasons including animals being more stressed out from how tightly packed they are. Factory farms have a significant amount of manure that affect the air and water quality around them and they do not have a place for it. A normal farm would use the manure to put on a field. Lastly, the spread of disease in a factory farm is unreal. With them being so tightly packed and so many of them one disease could affect every single one of the animals.

Is it ethical to eat meat? Many people either believe that, or simply choose to be oblivious about the truth or the basic idea that puts all non-vegetarians on a pedestal only to increase their ego, comfortably forcing everyone else to look away from the ugly truth about meat consumption, therefore reinforcing the senseless debate about humans being at the top of the food chain, as if people were savages and need meat to survive. If that’s the case, then why not eat raw meat? There’s no connection between human prevalent position in food chain that could justify the killing of live creatures, and put them in a lower level by intentionally eating them. Cutting pieces of dead flesh with a knife and putting them in a pan to be cooked and seasoned for taste seems like a brutal idea, but it is practiced by millions of neglecting people, everyday all over the world.

For thousands of years people have been consuming meat. A big part of people’s culture is focused around food and family, and disrupting that can be insensitive. Humans have evolved to a population by manipulating the environment, that being the use technology. Animal byproducts are what humans live on and contain essential nutrients on which humans thrive on. It provides a dense amount of calories, protein, and minerals in which is essential to survive. Animal agriculture was the driving force of human development, because there was an ability to constantly provide adequate food to the population. This allowed free time, innovations, explorations, and eventually the world in which we live. Meat also provides economic stimulus with in our world, but that has some drawbacks. As a country’s wealth develops, so does its consumption of animals, and studies have shown that this has a direct impact on the environment. Factory farming can have a substantial effect on the environment, by gas emissions, carbon use, and water pollution -just to name a few. The pros and cons can be pretty equal or out of proportion depending on one’s predisposition on the topic.

Consuming animal meat has been an issue that has been debated about for decades. No matter which side of the fence you are on, it cannot be denied that animals are subjected to inhumane treatment when they are used for factory farming. This practice, also called as industrial animal agriculture, produces 78% of cattle, 99.9% of chickens, 95% of pigs, and 99% of turkeys sold in the United States. The animals in factory farms are placed in cramped living spaces, do not receive proper medical care, and are killed using brutal methods.

You can’t have your cake, and eat it too; well in this case meat. Although, meat products provide us with various nutrients that solely this protein can equip us; is the added hormones, increase in risk of cancer, and

Secondly, there is less animal suffering. Not every animal has a nice and fine life and dies of old age, but must first live in small coops and with a lot of other animals and are then slaughtered. By eating less meat you save many animals in the bio industry great suffering.

Meat has been in our diet since the start of mankind. We eat meat everyday mindlessly. It is hard to avoid meat since it is everywhere we go. Meat is the majority of today’s food. There are very few vegetarian or vegan options in the food industry. Although, it has been growing more and more popular since it has become a lifestyle. The reason is to be the horrifying truth of today’s meat industry. For those who cannot bear the truth, pick up the vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.
