No Happy Cows Summary
The three chapters in the book, No Happy Cows, mentioned a lot of products we use every day that are made unethically. Like Chocolate, coffee beans, and milk. The way the companies make those products are unethical. Children are used to work, but are hardly paid. Cows are put under harsh conditions. I don’t think I will buy any more products from these companies that don’t treat people or animals well. They do so many things just to earn more money for themselves, but at the cost of others. Some people think its fine to continue buying their products. Maybe, they just don’t care to search up information about what they are buying or their just not aware of what they are buying. I am going to start paying closer attention to what I buy. I don’t

    Torturing Puppies And Eating Meat Summary

    Our gustatory pleasure is not as important as the lives of animals. The example used in the article to explain this argument was the “Torturing Puppies” argument. Anyone who has compassion and emotions would agree that saving the lives of the puppies is the right thing to do, as opposed to killing them just for a momentary, gustatory experience. This is the same with the meat farms and consumers. Many animals such as chickens are ripped off of their beaks. Baby cows are put in cages to make their meat tender by not allowing their bones and muscles to grow. Pig’s tails are cut off and are subject to enclosed spaces. The living conditions of these animals are poor. Hormones are being injected into animals, negatively affecting the consumer’s overall health. All of this torture, just to kill these animals for gustatory pleasure, seems just as bad as the puppy example mentioned…

    The Only Way To Have A Cow By Bill Mckiibben Summary

    Bill McKibben’s essay “The Only Way to Have a Cow” establishes a sense of comfort as his approach to the meat eating controversy is superbly logical. The current industrial approach to livestock has birthed an issue pertaining to the sustainability and healthy feeding of our lives. Yet there is another problem in relation to our consumption, which tends to be overlooked. If the pricing of meat reflected in the damage done to our environments, feedlot beef would cost more than grass-fed beef both financially and environmentally. It is the rapid, inhumane dietary feeding of the cow which is insulting, not the consumption of it, and taking no responsibility for the run-off is an offense to the earth and it’s inhabitants. These costs alone are part of the reasoning for the current system which is inefficient and uneconomically feasible. The…

    Analysis Of The Only Way To Have A Cow By Bill Mckibben

    The Only Way to Have a Cow" by Bill McKibben tries to inform humans to decrease the intake of meat eating and how this habit could harm our environment. Cow would release harmful substance like methane when they fart or belch. These actions could actually lead to a bigger problem, global warming. Turning into vegans could make environment more friendly. Eating grass fed cows are more healthy that eating corn fed cows. However another problem forms, grass fed cows are more expensive then corn fed grass which causes people with low incomes couldn't afford to eat…

    Documentary Summary Of The Documentary 'Death By Cow'

    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.…

    Down On The Factory Farm Analysis

    Peter Singer’s “Down on the Factory Farm” and E.B. White’s “Death of a Pig” illustrate practices of raising animals for human consumption. The care and environment provided for the animals by both White and the factory farmer’s that Singer discusses can be labelled as ‘animal husbandry’. White and the factory farm worker’s animal husbandry methods can be deemed as ethical, or unethical. Bernard E. Rollin defines good animal husbandry as “keeping the animals under conditions to which their natures [are] biologically adapted, and augmenting these natural abilities by providing additional food, protection, care, or shelter” (6). Through this definition of ethics and the criteria established by the “Principles” found in James P. Sterba’s “Reconciling Anthropocentric and Nonanthropocentric…

    Article of the Week

    I’m really glad that most companies are animal friendly now. Just because they’re small and can’t defend themselves doesn’t mean we get to use and mutilate their bodies for our own personal gain. For example, have you learned about Dr. Mengele? He was called the Angel of Death and he worked in the camps at Auschwitz. He was one of the sickest men alive next to Hitler. Mengele had an interest in twins so he would conduct a series of experiments on them. Some of them were pulling every hair out of their body and seeing which ones were the same, he would test on eyes to see if he could change all of the colors to blue, he would dump a woman in cold water and then throw her in hot water to watch the dramatic changes in the body as it goes from cold to hot, and various other things I’d rather not talk about. How do you think the animals feel being injected with chemicals and killed? Remember the guy who created Insulin? He used dogs. He went through hundreds before one lived. Testing on animals isn’t right, but neither is testing on humans.…

    Animal, Vegetable Miserable Analysis

    Today’s world is filled with media that aims to influence its viewers. However, not all media is true. Websites and articles try to persuade their viewers that being vegan is what consumers need to do to end animal cruelty. One such article that discusses this matter is Animal, Vegetable, Miserable by Gary Steiner. Steiner claims that meat eaters are self-righteous and commit mass murder against animals (846). However, several articles have proven that Steiner’s claims are false. These articles include: Defense of Eating Meat by Timothy Hsiao, Vegetarian Diets and Bone Status by Katherine Tucker, and Animal Protein Good for Health by Amanda Radke. In addition, the movie Temple Grandin portrays that feedlots have improved the treatment of cattle…

    Meat vs. Vegan

    It's hard to imagine when drinking a glass of milk or frying some eggs that animals are enduring harsh treatment in the process of getting such products. Taylor makes a valid point when she says “It is impossible to produce eggs and milk without vast amounts of killing” (203, par 3). The author believes that even though animals used for their byproducts are not being slaughtered, they are still being treated inhumanely because of their poor living conditions which lead to many unnecessary deaths. Such living conditions include chickens being tightly compacted with no room to walk and a lack of sunlight and fresh air. According to Taylor, this falls under animal cruelty. By informing the reader of a different manner of animal cruelty, Taylor is able to convince an audience to rethink buying from farms that are inhumane.…

    Animals Vs Vegetarianism

    The processed meat industry is an 800 billion dollar industry killing over 10 billion animals each in the United State alone. Factory farmed livestock account for over 99% of all the meat consumed by Americans even though they are raised in these despicable conditions. Many animals raised on factory farms live in abhorrent conditions where they are unable to turn around in their own cages, live in their own feces, and never even see the light of day.. Peter Singer dives into the idea that all animals are equal in a selection taken out of his book Animal Liberation, found in James and Stuart Rachels’ The Right Thing To Do, and advocates for the humane treatment of animals. Singer lays out the argument that it is morally wrong to make animals…

    Arguments Against Animal Testing

    To test cosmetics, household cleaners and other consumer products hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded and killed every year by cruel corporations. In my opinion we should not even be doing this at all, it is very wrong.Thousands of animals are killed everyday due to this torture. Animals have feelings too. Toothpaste is even tested on animals. It’s ridiculous. According to the human society, registration of a single pesticide requires more than 50 experiments and the use of 12,000 animals. The animals are tested for 2 years.…

    Benefits Of Animal Testing

    The products we use everyday are a luxury that we are blessed to have and be able to use everyday. They are so easy to use and the benefits are so great that people don’t really care how they are made before they hit the shelves. But not many people think about all the tests that the product had to go through to get on the store's shelves. Not many people think about the negatives of the product and all the test that are done on ANIMALS. Animals that are tested on are put through medical tests that could potentially kill them or harm them extremely. The beauty product industry and scientist should find a new way to test their products and drugs without the endangerment to animals.…

    Narrative

    The first example of animal cruelty can be found in the food industry, where the food we purchase and consume is manufactured. Today's factory farming, where livestock is raised and killed to produce the meat and eggs we find on our store shelves, are filled with daily acts of cruelty. While farming will continue to go on, questions arise as to whether the workers are uneccassarily torturing the animals. As it stands, the animals are crammed by the thousands into filthy, windowless sheds, and confined to wire cages, gestation crates, and dirt lots. They are fed drugs to make them grow faster, and keep them alive in conditions that would normally kill them. Last Chance for Animals.com states, “97% of the ten billion animals tortured and killed each year are farm animals.”…
