Sparboe Farms Case Study

Bennett another reporter took a different approach to covering the murder. He was looking at the murder and wondering how a young respectable man could be accused of such a heinous crime. He refused to believe that this crime could be committed by a man with such a promising life ahead of him.

All of the options on the menu may seem appetizing to customers, but the secret behind the fast food makes customers rethink their decisions. French fries may seem to solely be hand cut slices of potatoes fried in vegetable oil in a deep fryer, but that is not all that goes into McDonalds French fries. The company adds “artificial flavors” to the oil, but is not specific on what the flavoring itself is. Schlosser and Wilson discover that McDonalds adds beef juice flavoring from the hamburgers to the batch of fries to add a distinguishing factor to their fries, despite advertising them as “vegetarian friendly”. They also use cruel methods to make their infamous chicken nuggets. McDonalds pays butchering farms to kill their chickens with inhumane tactics. Chickens are hung by their feet in chains and then dunk them into a water-filled charged with electricity. Some chickens are not knocked unconscious from this cruel tactic due to moving too much and feel the pain from the next slaughter step, rotating blades. Every chicken is hung upside down, shocked, sliced into pieces, and then boiled in bloody liquid just so that customers can have chicken nuggets that are not even all chicken. They are made with the random pieces of cut up chicken, a sticky glue-like paste, and more “artificial flavors” of beef flavoring. This addition of beef flavoring to the

Factory farming is a practice that is used to keep up and sustain the supply and demand for different types of animal meat. A poultry factory farm that will be discussed is Perdue Farms. Perdue Farms is established and operated in the United States and has a processing facility where they raise and slaughter chickens. Perdue Farms is meeting the needs of the consumers by supplying and mass producing poultry for consumption. One may view this of being a success by having a well-established, profitable business that is fulfilling their responsibilities to the consumers. While that may be true, they are not fulfilling their ethical responsibility to the animals. These animals are in close quarters where they are nested in urine and feces. There can even be instances where they will be sitting on or near deceased chickens until their cage is chosen for slaughter. Since these animals are massively produced the use of hormones and antibiotics are used to sustain life and growth. On top of the poor, dirty living conditions these animals are also giving additives that will eventually make it to the consumer. The process has an impact on those employed by the corporation and those who purchase products from them.

Do animals have the right to a certain quality of life? How would your views change if our cooks got treated the same way cattle and poultry do? How would you feel about them being beaten and brought to their knees just to be detained to know how to cook todays specials? You might think that the food industry has no issues and no faults behind their tasty food, but when you open up the meat curtain, there is a different kind of world out there that is cruel and inhumane. In Robert Kenner’s 2008 film, Food, Inc., He shows the conditions that cows, chickens, and pigs have to live in. The dark and closeted homes in which the animals are closely compacted together and eating, sleeping, and walking in their own manure. As a person who would consider themselves an animal rights activist, most people would agree that the food industry treats their animals like products instead of living things.

The living conditions of chickens are dreadful and appalling. What came first the chicken or the egg? Chicken farming is found particularly in the Southeast margin of the United States (“Factory Farm Map”). It is explained that, “chickens and hogs on factory farms have no access to the outdoors, fresh air or natural light” (“Factory Farms Map”). This exemplifies one situation of how chickens are poorly treated in the factory farms. In addition, even before the chickens are born, they are treated horribly. More than 125,000 to one million hens can be living in the same factory together (Hobson). Along with crowded living spaces, these animals suffer being “docked,” which means they are declawed and stripped of all teeth (Hobson). This shows how bad the conditions

Have you ever been in a rush, low on cash, and looking for something to eat so you didn’t really have a choice but to grab a burger with fries at your local fast food place? Have you ever paused or stopped to think about where the burger really came from, or the process that went in to be made? The Food Inc documentary investigates and exposes the American industrial production of meat, grains, and vegetables. Robert Kenner the producer of the film makes allegations in this film and he explores how food industries are deliberately hiding how and where it is our food is coming from. He emphasizes that we should find out where our food comes from and why is it that the food industry does not want us to know. Food Inc. does not only uses compelling images, such as hundreds of baby chickens being raised in spaces where they do not see an inch of sunlight, it also includes the speeches and stories of farmers, families, government officials, and victims of the food industry. The four current problems facing today’s food industry are the reformed usage of the false advertisement within the labeling of products , mistreatment of farmed animals, and the harmful chemical in our meats. The documentary Food Inc uses very persuasive tactics that demonstrates strong elements of pathos, ethos, and logos make an effective appeal, while uncovering the dark side of the food industry.

Following the recent incident in a Melbourne suburb during which hundreds of chickens were illegally released from cages on a truck, writer Jo Smith contended in his opinion piece ‘Chickens Range Free’ issued on January 2009 that our actions towards farm chickens are both inhumane and brutal. The piece draws attention to us as the human species, the need to raise awareness, the desire to stop such inhumane treatment and to enact action by supporting the activists who freed the chickens in an attempt to encourage readers to feel a sense of empathy as an act which disadvantages both themselves and others. The opinion piece was also accompanied by a photograph, was published on a website and on the Opinion

A poll conducted by the ASPCA revealed that 94% of Americans believe that production animals, specifically those raised for food, deserve to live a comfortable life free of cruelty and neglect. Despite this belief, many factory farm animals are abused and neglected in such ways that, if witnessed by consumers, would not be accepted. Over 99% of the United State’s farm animals live on factory farms that use them for means of profit, many of them violating the Animal Welfare Act and other laws put in place to protect the humane treatment of animals (ASPCA). This abuse is not limited to any specific type of farm animal. Although different animals are used for different purposes, they all share a common suffering and a need for humane care.

It’s problematic that we don’t question the food we eat whether it be from McDonalds or a fancy upscale restaurant. We need to be more aware of what is going on around us especially when the food we eat is causing an array of health issues for us. The unsanitary conditions found within the factory farm industry contributes to the pathogens found in the meat we eat. As the saying goes you get what you pay for. Factory farming is based upon producing large quantities of meat at a very low cost. This driving force behind the system is not worth getting food poising or something detrimental. In the chapter “Influence / Speechlessness” the habitats of the chickens are displayed “jamming deformed, drugged,

A woman by the name of Debbie Sykes became the victim of a murder and rape. she was found behind an apartment building located downtown. She was a copy editor at the twin city sentinel. She was recognized by the chief editor who called in saying she did not appear for work. She was considered fight for her life however, she was stabbed and killed. The lead in her murder was a simple raspy call on a pay phone. He stated that he was Sammy Mitchell . By then they put up the photo of Darryl Eugene Hunt. He had been quickly taken in for the charge of rape and murder and stated that he didn 't commit the crime.

There is a large problem of animal cruelty linked to the food industry in the United States. Countless slaughterhouses, chicken farms, and other meat producers have been found guilty of harming animals and killing them inhumanely. This is something that clearly needs to change.

One issue the documentary highlights is the abuse of animals and workers by the food companies, in order to reveal how the companies hide

McDonald’s PLC, is one of the largest fast food chains in the world, with 32,000 outlets in 117 countries. In the UK the first restaurant opened in 1974 and now in the UK stores alone, the chain serves 2.5 million customers daily. In the early 2000’s McDonalds saw for the first time some of its outlets closing, and drastically had to rethink the way that it operated. It was struck with a damaging title of the firm that didn’t care with non-eco-friendly practises, (the ecologist: 2011) and with the negative publicity
