Animal Rights: The Issue Of Slaughtering Animals

Animal rights is a very important and prominent concept in today's society. The basis of animal rights is that every animal is a living being, and should be treated accordingly, meaning slaughtering animals and mistreating them (for food and for other reasons) is not acceptable. Certain diets are centered around the concept of treating animals with dignity, including Vegetarianism and Veganism. I believe that these diets are very beneficial to the animals at slaughterhouses, dairy farms, and other similar factory farms.
Most people do understand that the treatment of animals is a problem at slaughterhouses, but not many people are informed that identical problems commonly arise at dairy farms as well. To begin, the way that cows naturally produce milk is by becoming pregnant, and only then are they able to lactate for ten months afterward. To remake this process, the farmers or workers take a machine and rape the cows with it. This not only an unnatural process, but it also proves to be cruel and disgusting. Although cows do not have the same social standards as humans, why do something to them that is considered illegal to us? Another abuse is the over-milking of cows--a very common practice on many dairy farms. Cows are given hormones
Firstly, they don’t support the companies that slaughter, rape, and maltreat them. Additionally, by being Vegan or Vegetarian, those individuals express their passion and do the most they can to eliminate the cruel and inhumane acts that not only take place in slaughterhouses, but at farms as well. Because of these downright gruesome facts about the dairy and poultry industry, I previously made the decision to transition from a Vegetarian diet to a Vegan diet. If more people stopped eating meat and animal products, then the demand for such goods would decrease. That would result in fewer cows, chickens, and other animals becoming victims of mistreatment and
