A Critique Of Kristof's Home

Kristof supports his claim by demonstrating the “public outrage”(2) from a “frightened dog in Orlando”(22) compared to the “far worse treatment of billions of chickens” (4), by illustrating the insensitive treatment of chickens including “antibiotic overuse”(20), “grim”(16) conditions consisting of hens “crowded into tiny cages” (16), and results of a “grotesque disease called gangrenous dermatitis” (7) that “‘rots’”(8) innocent chickens and transforms them “‘to mush’” (8), which could have a negative effect on humans who consume the chickens, and finally the author explains how the farmers are “threatened if they protest” (11) because the large, greedy companies take advantage of the authority they obtain causing the farmers to have “no control
over their operations” (11).
