Dairy Cows Abuse
The abuse wreaked upon the bodies of female dairy cows is so intense that the dairy industry also is a huge source of downed cows. Cows referred to as downed cows are so sick and/or injured that they are unable to walk or even stand, hence the title “downed”. Downed cows are routinely dragged or pushed with bulldozers in an attempt to move them to slaughter. Dairy cows are not given any food, water, or protection from the elements during their inevitable journey to the

    The treatment of animals in animal farms is greatly disrupted because of major food industries and the financial costs. Cows are genetically and evolutionary modified to eat grass but the farm owner are forcing the cows to eat corn because it is cheaper and corn makes them fat more quickly. This is just one example of the many of the mistreatments of farm animals that was talked about in this documentary. Since cows are meant to eat grass and not corn this high corn diet results in E. coli formation. E. Coli formation is not only a product of the diet but also a product in farm animal lifestyle. The cows stand ankle deep in their manure for most parts of the day if not the entire day, meaning that if one cow was to develop the disease than the entire cow population on the farm will also acquire the disease. This disease is then carried form the farms to the slaughterhouses and form the slaughterhouses to our grocery stores. The documentary reports that this transfer in disease resulted in a death of a young boy from eating a burger at Jack in the Box.…

    The first time I heard about the topic “Animal Abuse” come up was really sad. PETA came to one of the livestock shows and were trying to tell us what we were doing wrong, but in reality we were treating the animals with love and respect. I have participated in all of these events and have seen how the animals get treated. I believe there is nothing wrong with the way they get treated. Most animals actually get treated better than some humans do. There are many society practices that people believe are cruel to animals but are not. Rodeos, showing livestock, and factory farms do not show animal cruelty.…

It is often assumed that they are slaughtered in a humane, clean way however more than 40 million cows die every year, they are beat almost to death, dragged, often forced to starve and dehydrate, electrocuted, poked, branded, and pushed into processing lines terrified of what beholds the end of that line.

    The feedlot air is loaded with ammonia, methane and other chemicals that cows are forced to inhale. Calves are kept completely immobilized in tiny crates in the dark. Well, calves are kept separate from the other calves but only until they are four- five weeks old. They then get put into a pen of about four to six calves until they are moved to an even bigger pen outdoors. The only reason they are separated in the beginning is to stop the spread of sickness and diseases. Only one will get sick if there separate, but if they were together then there’s a chance of them all getting sick. They also have plenty of room to move around and are only kept in the dark at night for about eight hours. Farmers don’t cram their cows together either. The more animals in a pen the easier it would be for an animal to get sick or hurt. The pens aren’t filled with feces, because it is bad for their hoofs. Lastly, the barns are well ventilated; there are no harmful gases the animals have to inhale. Most barns have a ventilation system that maintains temperature controls depending on how hot or cold it is. If cattle were forced to inhale methane, then so would people when they walked into the barn, methane has the power to kill people, even blow up a building if there is enough built…
