Purpose Of Animal Consumption

to drink bad tasting milk or eat bad meat. These things are something that could likely

Many people who think that the way that we treat animals in the process of raising those for human consumption are wrong never stop, to think what they can do to stop this problem from further occurring. Furthermore, they make impassioned calls for more “humanely” raised meat. Instead to soothe their consciences they shop for “free range” meat, and eggs; which has no importance. Even if an animal is raised ‘free range” it still lives s life of pain and suffering that all ends with a butcher’s knife. Although many know that over 53 billion land animals are slaughtered each year for human utilization they still tend to eat this meat with no problem. The simple explanation is that many don’t care what happens to animals as long as they are eating and healthy. If they did care then they would what could be a difficult choice; to go without eating meat and selling it in any form.

A number of calves are covered with nasty, open sores which very likely come from their being bedded on quicklime with no straw protecting them from its corrosive effects. The handling of these calves is also so outrageous as to count as cruelty, as when the animals are roughly and painfully picked up by the ears and tail, something so obviously hurtful that one hardly needs any experience with calves to know that it is wrong.

The reality is that meat consumption is at epidemic levels, and the corporations who control the food chain know it.

Namit Arora’s article On Eating Animals captures the horrors of the meat industry. Arora is a true animal activist who describes instances in which cows try to escape slaughterhouses, but they are usually recaptured and killed. Arora portrays these events and statistics through a reprimanding and critical tone. This tone appeals to the audience’s feelings of guilt about the purchase of meat wherein the inhumane killing of farm animals takes place. He incites guilt in order to reveal the twisted system that Americans call the meat industry.

According to the anthropologist Professor Henry Bunn of Wisconsin University the use of animals for food dates back to two million years ago, when, “our human ancestors were small brained ape-men” (McKie, 2012). The use of animals for a source of food, clothing, and even entertainment is not something new to us. But what is fairly new are the animal rights movement groups as well as legislation that have formed in the last century to protect the rights of animals and preventing animal cruelty in slaughter. There are specific movements and laws such as the 1958 Humane Methods of Slaughter Act and the 2015

There are approximately 2,900 animals that are abused, and tortured and eventually killed every single hour. Millions of animals each year live in terrible conditions and are forced to endure inhumane treatment all in the name of research. Here are only

Hens and pigs are kept in spaces barely large enough for them to fit in, which makes it difficult to move or lay down. Cows are put in into places so crowded that they barely move. The animals are genetically manipulated to grow larger and produce more meat, this makes them obese and may make chicken’s upper bodies too heavy for their legs, which means they will not be able to move and thus, they will starve to death. Antibiotics are forced-feed to the animals to make them grow faster and more adapt to live in unsanitary conditions such as the slaughterhouses in which they are raised and killed (peta). For a cow to produce milk they had to have previously given birth, the calves are then killed in a variety of ways for veal. The cow’s lifespan can span to twenty-five years, however with the over-milking of the cows the cows aren’t able to produce any more milk around the age of five years and therefore are killed

The problem is that today, everything we eat has meat in it. Many Americans love a juicy beef burger with a side of fries or a hot dog at a summer bbq. In the article “ A Nation Of Meat Eaters: See How It All Adds Up” which was heard on Morning Edition reports that U.S has slightly dropped the meat consumption per person to 270.7 pounds in the recent years, but we still consume more meat per person than the rest of the country except for the Luxumbourgers and chicken is the number one meat of choice after the beef consumption was declining in the 1970s (Aubrey, Charles, Wertheimer). The demand for meat and dairy product is so high from the consumers that the company is coming with new ideas to add meat and dairy product in their products, for example, Burger King came up with Chicken fries then Mac and Cheetos ; today donut shops offer bacon donuts, the hot dog stands now sells bacon wrapped hot dogs and the list goes on. You will hardly see any company coming up with new healthier or plant based items on their menu beacuse

The meat market is huge in the united states because the American people consume more beef and protein products than almost any where else in the world. The demand for meat products is already high in the united states and will only grow with time. This demand that is being made by us the consumers is what forced farmers out of business and brought in the big corporations that use science as an advantage to grow animals and plants at a faster and less expensive method than a farm grower would do.

“A typical slaughterhouse kills up to 1,100 pigs every hour.” (“Pig Transport and Slaughter”). This disturbing fact comes from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’s, an organization that fights for animals’ rights, website. It modern civilization, animals are mass produced and then mass killed just so people can eat them. The cruel practice is done without a second thought, and takes no time at all.

The animal consumption rate of America is very high in number. It is such a shame. It is shocking! We consume meat, eggs, and dairy products in our daily life, due to lack of awareness and education about this matter. Such as how the animal is treated? What is being fed to them? Or what environment they are raised in? All these matters were kept secret by factory farms and meat companies. We do not raise any question at all keep eating them forever. Due to that, we are sick and unhealthy most of the time. Now on we should adopt a new lifestyle and try to change food habits. It is clear that animals are being mistreated and kept in a poor hygiene condition in the process of an animal factory farm. People should not eat an animal’s products because

On many farms in the United States, it is common to utilize hormones and other additives on cattle in factory farms. Farms often feed animals hormones to quicken the slaughtering process. Although the factory farms sell a surplus amount of cattle to stores, cattle are being treated unfairly and inhumanely. Cattle in farm factories are subject to the injection of hormones, harsh environments and poor physical treatment. Due to the utilization of hormones, abuse of cows and monopolization of cattle factories livestock farms, cows are deprived of basic needs and suffer physical trauma.

But is not only the animals who are suffering because of this food system. The environment and humans who consume factory farming products also suffer. Green house gas emissions and factory farm waste that seeps into water sources and soil are just some of the environmental

The meat from domestic animals like cattle, pigs, mutton or lamb and usually made from lean meat trimmed of fat, cut into strips and then dried to prevent spoiling and uses salt to prevent bacteria to grow onto the meat until the meat moisture has been removed.
