Progressive Era Animal Control

The Animal Protection Movement also underwent the Bureaucratic stage, which is the third stage of development of social movements in sociology. The bureaucratization stage of social movements is the formalization stage that is characterized by high level of organization as swell as coalitions. As such, this makes the social movement a powerful political force. As explained in the book, Thinking Sociology, this is the stage that is symbolized by a myriad of social movements dedicated to animal rights show that this particular concern will not go away (Carl, et al., 2011). In this stage of the Animal Protection Movement, there was significant media visibility, especially in the 1980s. In addition to that vigorous competition among the organizations in this juncture symbolize high level of efficiency in the movement. Strategic thinking by animal advocates was also adopted as an approach to enable justice-based movements that influenced drastic victories for the movement in that decade. Nevertheless, this stage of the Animal Welfare Movements was marked by extensive changes in organizations and the growth of active supporter base for the movement.

The statement by Paul McCartney rings true, “If slaughterhouses had glass walls everyone would be a vegetarian.” Animal rights is a concept which people hardly ever consider in a serious light. Being born as a human being, having a superior mental capacity and sense of times makes people think that they can rule this world and use other living beings as they see fit. This mentality leads to people say things like “animals are born to eaten” or how Aristotle claimed “all of the nature exist specifically for the sake of men” and “that animal are merely instruments for humankind.” (Pg. 495). This way of thinking often leads to overconsumption of animals, cruelty to animals and loss of species.

People are always uneasy with what they don’t know, and immigrants carry with them different cultures, languages, and the unknown. During the late 1900s and early 2000s, America was dealing with a large influx of immigrants. In America from 1880 to 1925, immigrants were viewed through a lens of racial prejudice and seen as either sources of work or of crime.

The Progressive Era was a period of rapid urbanization and industrialization. During this time, there was a huge inflow of immigrants from Europe into the United States, and a sudden rise of population in urban areas. Because of this, many city dwellers were forced to live in slums, and living conditions deteriorated. Poverty, disease, and infant mortality were increasing.

To begin, the progressive era was from the 1890s to the 1920s. In the beginning, there were waves of immigrants. America also had a rapid growth ( to grow quickly). There had been urbanization and industrialization. People were also crowded into tenement slums, which caused high-level diseases and high levels of infant mortality. People had also started to improve living and working conditions. There was a woman named “Ida Tarbell” that started to expose unfair practices.

The relationship between immigration, urbanization, and industrialization became dominantly significant by the launch of the Progressive Era between the years 1890 and 1920. Immigration increased at a staggering rate in which millions of immigrants from Western Europe, Southern Europe, and Eastern Asia sough economic opportunities. The United States, in the era, experienced large portions of its lands altered into massive cities with expanding industrial infrastructures. Despite these factors having greatly transformed American life, the nation’s inhabitants have only begun to realize the consequences for such an inevitable step of progress.

Imagine living in the 1920s. What was society like? If asked, most people would say that they could visualize flappers, extravagant parties, fast cars, jazzy music, and the wild youth. This decade is often described as boisterous. In this time period, society was social and dramatic. It also contained numerous changes in America’s politics and important historical events. One important change in politics was immigration. Immigration is the movement of people to a country where there is not natives or where the immigrants do not possess citizenship. In today’s civilization, people are commonly questioned about their heritage through census surveys, job questionnaires, school surveys, and when admitted into hospitals. Frequently, people are questioned about their heritage. If people were to research their heritage, it is possible to discover their ancestors were immigrants to America at one time. After researching immigration, books and journal databases have broadened the information on immigration in the 1920s. Through the careful study of immigration, facts and statistics reveal the history of immigration leading up to the 1920s, the impact immigration had on America, the problems caused by immigration, the control of immigration through the quota system, and the rise in illegal immigration throughout America.

In the Animal Farm debate I was tasked with coming up with an opening statement as to why the revolution against Jones was worth it. I had to give a brief overview of what we were going to be discussion as a group without getting into the details too much. Essentially I summarized the main points and left the sub details to support my main points to the cross examination and rebuttal. Besides coming up with the opening statement, I made contributions to other parts of the debate as well. I came up with a good idea to make a section on the notes shared with everyone before the debate the possible points that could be presented by the opposing side and how to counter them. When the opposing side would say “The revolution was not successful.” We already had a counter argument to that statement in our notes and our response was “The question was not if the revolution was successful, but if the revolution was worth it.” I also helped contribute to find our main talking points by finding out what the goal of the revolution was. The animals goal was to achieve unity, equality, trust, prosperity, a better quality of life, freedom, and individuality back into the picture. The hard work that I put in, as well as my fellow classmates, helped make the

The Progressive Era began around 1895 and ended in 1920, it was a response to the shifting social structure the United States presented at the time. This time period began to “see the rise of urbanization, industrialization, and even immigration” (Gorman) Prior to 1930, the

UW Fond Du Lac, I feel, is the best school for me. I want to go into animal services which enables me to help the one thing that I have loved all my life. Being in this profession I will be able to continue doing what I love and that's protecting those animals who don't have a voice or get the chance to live a life full of love and happiness.

The Progressive Era was a time when a group of people especially men suffered from the events of their time, but not through a shrinkage of what they needed, but because of the distribution of deference as well as the ability to obtaining power (Scott, 1959). The Era also started to the issues of child labor, the exploration of women as well as children that were within the industry, there was not any type of security in place for the old, nor was there anything in place for the people with illnesses (Scott, 1959). In addition, there was also a problem with sanitation in the food industry as well as there being municipal corruption. Because of these issues, Americans started to create Reform Groups.

§2143(a) (b) and §2149(b), which are part of the Animal Welfare Act, were enacted so that standards of humane treatment can be given to animals used by research facilities, dealers, and exhibitors. The Animal Welfare Act was passed in 1966 because of the increasing concern about the stealing of dogs and cats for use in research facilities (National Anti-Vivisection Society, 2015).

In the present political climate of an anti-immigration agenda pushed by President Donald Trump, it is acceptable to have an instinctual response to question everything wrong with the ideology behind this agenda. It allows for questioning of, where does the structure for this agenda come from? Exploration into the history of immigration laws, uncovers a shocking doctrine of treatment of immigrants in the late 1800s to early 1900s. The construction of quarantines was enforced on American fronts: Ellis island, Angel island, and the Mexican-American border. Infrastructure in these locations was aimed for the cleansing of “dirty” or “infectious” immigrants coming into the United States. As expected, between the three fronts, different ethnic groups

The development of the United State into an aggregation of civilized settlements and large Cities influenced the economic movement, socially and culturally by the end of the Civil war and first World war. This brought about the industrialization and massive boom in immigration experienced at this period. Urbanization became key in the history of America and it has its influence in the attractiveness of the nation. The progressive era was from 1870 to 1916 which entered the period of urbanization in the United States. In the 19th century, a lot of European immigrants came into the States and this aided the speedy industrialization, people

This Act has for the first time introduced legislation for pet owners meaning that the owners have a legal duty of care to meet the five welfare needs of their pets. The welfare needs are also known as the five freedoms and they are the basic needs of any animal. The law also applies to people who are responsible for animals, such as breeders and those who keep working animals. (APGAW. No Date)
