The care for farm animals have become less significant to society as they are seen as just living beings. The primary issue here is not that farm animals are complicated to work with but they are not well taken care of by the livestock workers. There is a rough care for farm animals because the requirement level of education for farm workers or agricultural managers are high school diploma or equivalent with no job training and five plus years of experience. With insufficient amount of training and poor decision makings, a livestock worker will not be able to ethically comprehend animal needs without harming them. This leads to the point of this paper, animal livestock workers should be specifically trained in order to maintain, understand and improve farm animal care. The major cause of animal cruelty and lack of care is not by animals themselves but by the absence of implementing effective training and practices. In addition, this paper will focus on better ways of how to properly handle animals, value animal equality, receive proper training, explaining basic education does not prepare one to work with animals, and ways of how improvement can be done. First, livestock workers are performing animal abusement due to the lack of proper training. For the past years, many videos were released about unethical abusement on farming animals and animal liberation. Not only does the video disturb audience who are advocates for animal but anger towards livestock workers performing
The conditions for animals in modern slaughterhouses are unsanitary and violent. The lack of rules and regulations cause animals to be treated poorly because this industry is focused on mass production and profit rather than finding a more humane 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 the reducing the amount of animals that have to suffer.
A problem that arises from this is that animal abuse can take place without any consequences, simply because it goes unseen. Therefore, the installation of video cameras to monitor behavior inside of farms will help in the process of finding those who are guilty. Undercover videos of the animals being killed in such a brutal fashion only gives the farm a poor reputation, not to mention the ethical issue of animals suffering unnecessarily when euthanasia is available. Incidents similar to the aforementioned will only continue to happen if the government does not step in. Security cameras, proper training of new employees and regular examinations to ensure all FDA regulations as well as animal welfare laws are being practiced should be implemented in farms.
Today, the food industry has not just altered the American diet, but it has also had a negative effect within the labor sector as well as the animals meant for consumption and the lack of government oversight. Eric Schlosser in Fast Food Nation, and Jonathan Foer in Eating Animals, illustrate the mistreatment of labor workers as well as the animal abuse that goes unseen within the food industry. Foer gives such examples of employees who work in slaughterhouses giving accounts of what goes on in the kill floors, and stories of employees who have witnessed thousands and thousands of cows going through the slaughter process alive (231). Eating meat does not have to be so inhumane for example, Foer quotes Frank Reese, who does not permit inhumane practices on his ranch that are cruel, and Reese believes that there are other ways of having a sustainable humane animal agriculture instead of the methods of the large corporate meat industry (238). Namit Arora in the article “On Eating Animals”, as well as Michael Pollan in his book The Omnivore’s Dilemma, address some of the issues that animals face once they hit the kill floor. The food industry has transformed not only what people eat, but how the government has neglected the issues of the wellbeing of labor workers and the animals that are processed for consumption.
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.
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.
Thesis Statement: Imagine a dog running to fetch a toy, A horse galloping on a trail, or even a heard of cows grazing upon a grassy pasture. These same beloved animals could be suffering an unimaginable fate in some of the world concentration camps that are still standing. Only nowadays they are known to the outside world as slaughterhouses, fur farms, or experimentation centers.
Farmed animals, such as pigs and cattle, should be kept in clean and relaxed conditions. The acceptance of a culture that allows for the suffering of animals from birth to death is not a culture of ethical morals. Certain accommodations must be made to the livestock trade in order to prevent physical pain and negative mental situations.
In case you haven't noticed the agriculture industry has gotten a bad reputation in recent years. As anti-agriculture activists are leading the public to believe the industry is made up of uncaring, insensitive factory farmers and other agriculture workers are fighting an uphill battle to set the record straight. I can advocate for the agriculture industry by showing proper treatment of animals. With show animals I will show proper feeding, training and handling so they can show to the best of their abilities. With working animals, I will help them and care for them so they can continue to work for the agriculture industry and continue benefiting us. I can also advocate for the agricultural industry by representing agriculture in the best way possibly such as proper knowledge, respect and care for the
Why would anyone abuse an animal? Animal abuse is rather common, you could be doing it even if you don’t think you are. There are many animals that deal with abuse or neglect, about 1,423 animals a year. That’s in the U.S. alone. Animals are living creatures, just like you, and they’re not cheap. Neglect is another version of abuse, and it can come in many forms. Neglect could be starving them, not giving them medical care, not paying attention to them, etc, etc. Animals are just like humans, I mean, sure they can’t make their own meals, and they can’t drive a car, but that doesn’t mean they have fewer rights than you do. If an animal is abused or neglected the animal will be taken and the owner should be charged. If someone abuses an
“This is horrible! I can’t even watch this!” Those were my immediate thoughts the first time my eyes were opened to the inhumane animal cruelty on factory farms. Factory farming enables mass production to supply the demands of today’s society but also enables the cruel treatment of animals. We need to end the cruelty and abuse that these animals have to endure at the factory farms because it causes loss to the business, reduces the quality of the product produced, and endangers the health of those who buy the product. We can promote humane treatment of factory farm animals by prevention through education, by enforcing humane laws by being an example of humane animal treatment, and by donating and/or
Intro: Can you imagine having the urge to intentionally hurt or even kill your helpless little puppy? Over the years, animal abuse has increased an unbelievable amount. I believe animal rights need to be enforced to people across the world. Animals are helpless creatures that should only be making the world a better place. I will enforce my belief by explaining what animal cruelty are, animal abandonment laws, and how to report animal cruelty.
The idea that industrial farming is bad for the environment is well known, but what people do not think about is horrible practice of factory farms within industrial farming. Factory farms are inhumane and not only because the animal is being slaughtered, but because of the way the animals are treated before the are killed. A person would think that if they were to be innocently killed that they would want to be treated with respect and dignity before they die. In this paper, I will argue that animals have rights through a utilitarian view and that they should not be treated in an inhumane way.
All these animals that companies have, but where are they put these animals? How well are these animals are treated? What do they do during the testing to these animals? The conditions that these animals are put in are not too bad at first. Animal are put in cages, then put in a room with other enclosed animals. They are fed and cleaned, to make them healthy and calm as possible. When the testing begins, it becomes truly terrifying. These animal multiple testing or just one but every test is harmful. Monkeys are being injected and force feed potential harmful substances. Dogs are getting their organs surgically removed for testing. Farm animals are being exposed to toxic chemicals or radiation. Some experiments even require for the animal
In today's time we have farm animals, service animals, and companion animals which benefit us in many ways . Humans wanted desired aspects of the animal anything from showing the animals for prizes to breeding the biggest and strongest for food production. Animals born in the wild are very different from body build to how the hair grows and the natural behavior a wild animal compared to a domesticated animal will not let you touch it because of their flight zones.
