Animal Crutely

Animal. What comes in to your mind you first hear this word? Perhaps something furry, something feathery, something slimy? This is what seems to pop into most people’s mind when they think “animal”. However do you think of a life, a beating heart, and a struggle for survival against all odds? Take a moment and think about this. Animals are not cuddly stuffed toys that you can see in toy stores. They are living, breathing creatures, and they were given a life just as humans were. They also have to eat, survive and try to live their lives just like humans do. There is a huge difference between the way animals have to live their lives and the way humans live their lives. Animals are forced to struggle for survival; they fight for their lives. Animals are on their own from the moments they step on this plant to last moment they leave. Animals have to face many threats, humans now being one of them. In today’s society, cruelty towards animals is a growing epidemic because people do not value this worth of an animal’s life.
As most farming practices have been increasingly industrialized, animals that are raised for food are treated more like commodities than actual animals. They have become units of production, rather then living and breathing creatures. Animals in this situation are forced to sacrifice their own health and welling being for the human beings profit. Most people do agree that farm animal should deserve at least a minimum standard of cleanliness and as well as well as spaces, and that animals should be being suffering without any need. More and more consumers have begun to demand better treatment for the animals. Much of the problem with “factory farming” has to do with the structure of these farms. They confine animals indoor, as closely as possible, rather then letting them roam and graze on the land. The confinement exposes the animals to high levels of toxins, which are then released when so much manure decomposes in an enclosed area.
