The author gives several specific examples throughout the article of animal abuse which he then follows with the corresponding consequences of these actions and the lack of implementation by the USDA in these incidents. The author writes in this specific order to create an emotional response from the audience by first making the reader remorseful for the animals explaining how they were brutally treated. He then describes how there were no consequences for these actions which consequently causes the reader to feel outraged and more likely to side with…

Jeremy Rifkin 's article, “A Change of Heart About Animals” argues that animals are more like humans than we imagine and as a result should be treated with the care that they deserve. Rifkin develops and supports his argument using facts about the animals and these facts end up touching hearts. In order for Rifkin to get his point across he uses a smart technique by using pathos and plays with the emotions of his audience. Rifkin loves animals and his passion and love evokes emotions that the audience can feel. Animals can feel and have emotions similar to ours. in agreement with Rifkin, I argue that it is wrong and inhumane to kill or abuse animals because they feel, they deserve to have space and should be valued as much as humans are It is wrong no animal should be killed due to abuse or testing, it is wrong and inhumane.…
One does not necessarily expect books about food also to be about bigger ideas like oppression, spirituality, and freedom, yet Pollan defies expectations. Pollan begins with an exploration of the food-production system from which the vast majority of American meals are derived. This industrial food chain is mainly based on corn, whether it is eaten directly, fed to livestock, or processed into chemicals such as glucose and ethanol. Pollan discusses how the humble corn plant came to dominate the American diet through a combination of biological, cultural, and political factors. The role of petroleum in the cultivation and transportation the American food supply is also discussed. A fast-food meal is used to illustrate the end result of the industrial food chain.…
According to my section of the novel, Personal, the universal topic does not coincide with every young American’s existence. The universal topic in the section Personal is how to hunt and kill for your own food and how to find the right fruits and fungi to eat in the wilderness. Most young americans don’t have to worry about any of this. Almost every piece of food is essentially handed to them. Hunting is a game to some of us, not a lifestyle or a necessity for life. The overall universal topic is how Omnivore’s obviously have a dilemma when it comes to choosing their own foods. Most young Americans can easily identify what kind of food they want for lunch or breakfast and sometimes they don’t even have a choice. For this reason, I disagree with with the statement that young Americans have trouble finding what they want to eat.…
Indeed, Raising the issues of animal welfare is impossible to develop clear guidelines to judge by. On the article “Hooked on a Myth” states “we should adopt a precautionary ethical approach and assume that in the absence of evidence to the contrary fish suffer.” However the principle is no different between men and animal. Working out animal freedom in an actual practice that gain the concerns and role of ethics. Animals should be treated with compassion and grateful. A right…
I have learned that some of the prettiest things in life undergo an ugly process before they become what they are. I have also realized that as a vegetarian, I must be stricter in what I wear and buy. Whenever I went out, I would always refuse to eat meat; yet, I would later find myself buying a leather bag. After watching the process of attaining such things, I have decided to not only cut off the consumption of animals but animal products as well. I do not believe that any small luxury is worth the pain those animals must face, all for us greedy…
Considering modern society nowadays, eating meat has become essential to our lives for the pleasure and for their products but at some point, all of us must ask ourselves “What if we were in the animals place and we were produced only to be consumed?”. To continue this discussion, we must take it to a philosophical level... so let’s get started, shall we? On the one hand, there would be no point in this reading without talking about the Utilitarian Theory which believes that it is ethically satisfactory to keep raising animals for food on the off chance that we enhance their living conditions, however it is not ethically worthy to kill them .On the other hand, there are the Deontological Theories…
Compared with health vegetarians, moral vegetarians find meat more disgusting, offer more reasons in support of their meat avoidance, and avoid a wider range of foods. A prime example of moral vegetarianism is found in the novel, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. In this case, he represents turkey’s as his primary example of animal cruelty leading him to be a vegetarian. But with further research done from different sites we find that this is a very real and serious matter.…
According to World Farm Animals Day ,“Each year, more than 58 billion cows, pigs, chickens, and other innocent, sentient animals are caged, crowded, deprived, drugged, mutilated, and manhandled in the world's factory farms and slaughterhouses. In the US alone, 10 billion land animals are abused and slaughtered every year.” The majority of those killed are chickens and other types of birds. Undoubtedly, meat eaters have their reasons for eating meat, from misconceptions, to being raised on it and not knowing anything else. This paper is directed at those people who believe meat is good for them, the people who believe humans are meant to eat meat, the people who were raised on eating meat who know nothing else, and the people who believe being a vegan would be too expensive.…

Traditionalists are trying to convince the community that using living creatures for men's needs is natural and cannot be avoided in everyday life. In this essay we will explore this subject.…

The rights of the animals need to be dealt with utmost concern because animals cannot be left to die or tortured with regard to the busted myth of lack of sentience.…
In his book Eating Animals, Jonathan Safran Foer points out that the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, in their 2005 report, "argued that a major impact of factory farming is 'the rapid selection and amplification of pathogens that arise from a virulent ancestor (frequently by subtle mutation), thus there is increasing risk for disease entrance and/or dissemination.' Breeding genetically uniform and sickness- prone birds in the overcrowded, stressful, feces-infested, and artificially lit conditions of factory farms promotes the growth and mutation of pathogens. The 'cost of increased efficiency,' the report concludes, is increased global risk for disease. Our choice is simple: cheap chicken or our health" The convience of eating cheap chicken is not worth our health because it will cause a pandemic and a list of other diseases. The way chickens are processed at a factory farm puts us on the verge of a pandemic. Factory farm chickens are treated inhumanely for our ability to have quicker access to them as a meal.…
