BREEDING SOWS
A breeding sow is very similar to that of a calf in the veal industry; expect their experiences is prolonged over the years. When impregnated the female pigs are locked in crates that they are not able to stand, walk, or turn in. In some farms, they will take it as far as to tie the sows down with a chain, so they are unable to get up. Many sows will go crazy from the stress and develop repetitive habits called stereotypies. They will often rub their nose up and down on the cage or bite the bars to relieve their stress and keep them occupied. During her four months of pregnancy, she will be in this concrete cage with no comforts (Inside The Pork Industry).
A few days before pregnancy a sow will have the natural urge to collect

When I meet with clients who are vegan or want to make this transition, I dive deep into exactly what they do and don’t eat, along with their usual eating pattern. (Sass)
Buying from local farmers is also a great option. Some farmers will allow you to see the facility in which your food is coming from, and how the animals are treated. Buying locally also helps to stimulate your local economy and helps your local farmers. Even when switching to a vegan diet, going to events like farmers markets are more sustainable for your local economy; along with the quality and freshness of your fruit and veggies being better (Kleppel).
If you feel like helping end the treatment animals face, you can join the numerous number of organizations and clubs that fight against animal cruelty. A great organization is Mercy for Animals, where their main concern is educating the public and exposing the treatment of the animals through undercover work. For those who believe veganism is the only way to fight animal cruelty, they can join the Vegan Outreach which educates those who have seen the animal industry and believe veganism is the only way to stop animal cruelty. They hold many seminars across the nation that bring the community together throughout the year to swap recipes, educate, socialize, and many other experiences. No matter if you are donating money to these organizations or going to seminars to become more educated, any small amount of attention is greatly appreciated and can make a big impact in your life and others
It has long been believed that animal products are an important element in a healthy diet, but recent discussions have become more common on whether they positively or negatively affect an individual's health. Many have argued that animal products are essential to a healthy life, and make them the staple of their diet. But being Vegan vastly increases your health, decreases your negative impact on the planet, and saves countless innocent animals from a meaningless death.
During sheep may safely graze it was soft and quiet then it got louder the tone they set was sweet and happy it made me picture sheep grazing. Symphony No. 104 in D major London started intense and loud then when it started to speed up it was very much a fight from side to the other then it starts to get quiet and it’s happy.
To passers-by it looks like a normal shed, run by normal people. But inside this “normal shed” is a scene so horrific, it beggars belief that it has been legalised. Inside, cages upon cages of dogs are kept in squalid conditions, with barely any human contact. Puppies are wrenched away from their mothers at birth and are kept alone with only each other for company. Disease and illness are rife, leaving the dogs in pain and discomfort, and, in some cases this can lead to death. This hellish scene is disgustingly designated a puppy farm.
Animals are the beginning to the best nerve wrecking filled love you could ever dream of for your life. Ever since I was a young child, I’ve always resonated with the idea of helping animals more so than anyone and anything else in this world. My love for animals had begun when I was a mere four years old. I’ve always had pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and much more. To find out more about how to help adoptable animals in shelters, I contacted Amanda Smasal, a community outreach coordinator at Wayside Waifs. Wayside Waifs is no-kill shelter located in Kansas City, Missouri which has adoptable dogs and cats, ready and willing to go to safe, loving homes.
Every dog is a responsibility, and it takes a kind hearted person to go through the process of adoption. Through shelters it’s about an hour process to adopt. They ask for your current pets (if there is any) vet, the phone number of the vet, every one who lives in the house phone number, so they can call and see if they are okay with having a new furry friend in the house. They give scenarios that could possibly happen with a new puppy in the house for example, what do you do if the puppy is digging in the yard? Or what do you do if the mailman comes to the door and the dog starts barking? The process is long but it is worth it. The shelters even off puppy training classes that’ll teach them household manners, which includes potty training, leash training so that they will be able to go on walks without having to wear a harness. You get so much out of adoption that you don’t get from pet stores that will not offer. With my new adoption I was offered classes for him. Puppy classes, intermediate, therapy dogs, than k9 classes.
Many people challenge the rules for several different reasons. It’s always appropriate to challenge the rules when the rules are unfair, or against what you think is right. You can challenge the rules to make them fair and equal for everyone. Just how the two excerpts, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and Texas vs. Johnson, by the U.S. Supreme Court. These two excerpts explore the issue of when it is appropriate to challenge the rules. Challenging the rules can lead to positive or negative outcomes. You can change the rules for a good reason, or a bad one, but it’s always better to challenge the rules in order to make them more equal.
I have adopted veganism into my lifestyle because I don’t support the ethics behind the meat, dairy, and egg industries. Whilst already vegetarian for a year, I unintentionally came across a video about veganism that introduced new and persuasive facts that I had no prior knowledge about; I knew immediately that this lifestyle was for me. Unlike vegetarianism, veganism is a lifestyle and what that means is no leather, no feathers, no products that have been tested on animals, no products including animal ingredients, etc.. Those wanting to become vegan should take it slow because then they can discover new recipes and replacements, and it doesn’t seem so overwhelming. The main thing to focus on is trying your best.
Just think about a human race free of genetic disease where everyone is intelligent and where society and technology advance at staggering rates. This is the future that is envisioned by those who advocate eugenics. Eugenics is the study of methods to improve the human race by selection of parents based on their inherited characteristics (Hartl). The idea was first discussed by Sir Francis Galton in the 1880’s, but was widely unaccepted by people at first due to fear that it would take away their basic human rights and be misused (Hartl). In the early 20th century, eugenics was a very popular and widespread idea in the United States and there were laws created to encourage certain people to have children, while discouraging others from procreating (Morris 66). The main reason eugenics has fell into such disfavor is because the Nazis cited it as the reason for the Holocaust (Morris 66). The use of eugenics by the Nazis can be compared to the use Islam by ISIS, or the use of Christianity by the Westboro Baptist Church. It is a concept that can be misused based on interpretation and extremism. Eugenics itself is just an idea to improve the human race by selective breeding, not by killing millions. Forms of eugenics should be implemented in society because they eliminate genetic diseases and problems, spread favorable traits and attributes, create a more intelligent and less flawed society, and help advance the human race as a whole.
According to vegansociety.com, “ Veganism represents a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, other animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, other animals and the environment.“ People that follow this way of living are called vegans. The vegan diet is more a lifestyle choice and a philosophy than just a diet. The vegan life is the best way to live because it’s healthier, helps the environment, and is kinder to animals.
Many people buy the pets they want, but there are rarely any human beings that actually adopt. Let me ask you a simple question. Do you usually buy your pets from a breeder, or do you actually go out and search for the one to adopt? Many of you will say buy from a breeder, but that’s okay. Let me just list my facts and you think them over. Maybe I can get your opinion to change.
For being man’s supposed best friend, humans too often make choices to benefit themselves instead of dogs. People decide what traits make a dog cute and disregard what traits make them healthy. Dog breeding is a harmful practice for dogs both biologically and culturally due to superficial standards. These dogs are bred to be cute, but that cuteness can inadvertently carry a gene that can lead to disease, or even the cuteness itself could be debilitating, such as with the poster pug’s flat face makes breathing significantly more difficult. Dogs are living, breathing creatures and the standards set for their reproduction should factor their well-being into the standard of the dog.
Animals that talk are a figment of one’s imagination, however one author uses them to explain his views about other people. Animal Farm authored by George Orwell, a satire fiction, is about animals who rebel against their owners and create a life for themselves at Manor, Pinchfield, and Foxwood Farm. Snowball and Napoleon are both persuasive yet divided on their intentions for the farm.
The biggest problem with tube feeding birds is improper tube feeding which can result in aspiration and possibly death. If the tube is passed too forcefully, it can pose the problem of lacerating the oropharynx. If that happens and the feeding is continued, food can actually be injected through that laceration and into the surrounding tissue. This mistake can potentially causing life-threatening cellulitis around the birds throat. Never perform tube feedings on a bird that is regurgitating, dehydrated, or any patient that is not alert, non-responsive, or unable to keep their heads elevated on their own.
Animal Cruelty is a problem that many ignore. People are oblivious to these animals and the negligence their owners show. Animal cruelty is an underlying problem in today’s society, and the only way to counteract these problems, is for this generation to do something about it.
Some would not be able to live without eating any animal products in their diets, such as, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, and honey. For vegans, however, this is a normal way of life. Vegans are frequently misunderstood as either people who have eating disorders, or an unnatural passion for animal rights. It is time for people to realize that veganism, a challenging yet rewarding lifestyle, goes way beyond being skinny or caring for animals. In reality, veganism can be extremely advantageous to anyone who adapts it as a way of life and has many different benefits that come along with it.
