Next time you buy meats or vegetables from a corporate supermarket just think it may be loaded with antibiotics and/or harmful bacteria that may cause you to get sick or may even take your life, not to mention the inhumane or unhealthy conditions that the animals are kept in which in return pollute our air and water.…
Good job everyone. Thanks to those who voted. Only received 18 votes. Its been a great year and I look forward to working with you guys next year. I currently can't find any days open in August that will fit all of us for Second Harvest. We can do three things. Sign up for two different time slots on the same day but the later time slot will have to be picked up by parents because it's past the time we have to catch buses. The other option is to split the group and go on different days. Last, we could do something totally different. We need to sign up soon. I contacted Second Harvest more than two weeks ago and they have yet to respond. If we do do something different then we need to come up with it soon.…
This acquisition is false, the factory farmers do not get paid unless they are treating the animals with care. One of the reasons why someone pursues farming is because they have the desire to be with animals. According to David Leyonhjelm, the factory farms are more humane than the small scale farms. If the animals were not being treated with the proper care, then the animals would drop like flies. The livestock in the factory farms is protected from wind, snow, rain, heat and cold, and safe from the wild animals. Placing the animals in the factory farms allows the breeding process to be less stressful and the farmers will be able to take care and protect the young animals. While they are being protected in the warehouses, the animals are given a constant balanced diet and they are provided with plenty of fresh water. Factory farms are there to protect the livestock and still treat them with care while providing quality meat and dairy for the consumers. The last thing the factories want to do is cause the livestock discomfort, stress, and diseases. The factory farms are equipped with technology and farmers that can do everything they can to ensure they lead a stress and disease-free…
No one likes to suffer. None of us like to feel pain, but factory farmed animals such as cows, pigs, and chickens experience great pain in their short-lived lives. The website factoryfarming.com, states, “a standard beef slaughter house kills 250 cattle every hour.” The method used is “stunning” this is done by using a catapult gun and giving the cows a mechanical blow to the head. It is to render them unconscious, but this procedure is terribly imprecise: “as a result, conscious animals are often hung upside down, kicking and struggling, while a slaughterhouse worker makes another attempt to render them unconscious. Eventually the animals will be ‘stuck’ in the throat with a knife, and blood will gush from their bodies whether or not they are conscious” (factoryfarming.com). An animal has an intrinsic value, and to dismiss that, is morally wrong. How do we kill others that value their life? People may say it’s the cow’s…

Why buy an American made vehicles you ask? I’ll tell you why because buying American made vehicles creates American made jobs. Everyone knows that American made vehicle’s make a distinctive sound. Take for instance the Ford mustang and the Chevy corvette. Who doesn’t like the sound of these vehicles or design? A few things I will discuss about American made manufactures will be the quality they put forth in designing these vehicles, the job security it helps with in America and how American manufactures have now stepped up to the plate with their new innovated designs for the auto industry.…
playing in mud, chickens running around in the yard, cows eating grass in the field, and a loving family, who take good care of all their animals. Sadly the reality is much different than this. Imagine a building with overcrowded conditions so intense that death is all around you. The smell of urine and feces fill the air, it's as unbearable as raw sewage. (Simile) and the building is so jam-packed that you can’t even learn to walk properly. This is just the beginning of your horrifying life as a chicken living in a factory farm. In these factory farms animals live like prisoners in camps (allusion), having everything that is important to them taken away including family, sunlight and their freedom. It is necessary at this time that we look at what is going in these farms and find out the other destructive impacts factory farming has.…

Factory farming is one of the most controversial topics talked about around the world. Most people just believe their perfectly packaged meat from the supermarket comes from a normal farm. Little do they know, it’s much more than that. Consumers have no idea what animals go through just for them to have a great chicken or steak dinner. Jessica Leader of the Huffington Post states, 99% of the meat in the United States comes from factory farms. (Leader, paragraph1). Factory farming according to Webster’s Dictionary is a farm on which large numbers of livestock are raised indoors in conditions intended to maximize production at minimal cost. This doesn’t sound so hurtful or damaging, but according to the Huffington Post,…

PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
