Veganism And Factory Farming

Social:

Due to the rise of factory farming, animal activists have made an influential trademark on society.
Ex, The Humane Society Of The United States (HSUS), Peta (2), the Anita Krajnc pig case, activists protesting against Canada Goose
Likewise, with animal activism, veganism has turned into a social trend partly because of its glamorization on social media and through celebrities endorsing veganism such as Miley Cyrus and Mike Tyson.

This social craze received lots of controversy from other vegans who wholly live the original vegan lifestyle including vegan clothing and makeup, saying individuals who simply eat a plant based diet aren’t respecting the integrities of veganism.
On the other hand, meat lovers often mock vegans, in which
In this case, economic gain sacrifices environmental health. Furthermore, selectively breeding the livestock, allow businesses to save money by only investing in productive mammals. The crates, cages, and mechanics (ex, debeaking machine) also allow for low staff requirements.
The entire farming industry has been exploited during the industrial revolution as the term factory farming debuted into modern society.

The American Humane Party was formed in 2009 and it’s the first political party committed to providing equal rights for humans and animals. Furthermore, Clifton Roberts was the presidential nominee for the American Humane Party for the 2016 American
However, there are some loopholes as 8 employees in Chilliwack dairy farm located in British Columbia, were fired after the BC SPCA laid 20 charges for abusing the cattle in 2014.

Otherwise, the legal system would abolish the current regimes of factory farming altogether.
The American Humane Slaughter Act passed in 1978, outlines that animal killings must be quick to limit their pain (Ie, gunshot to the head, electric shock). Chickens and birds do not possess any protection from this act.
The general rule of thumb that regulates factory farmers, is that any practice considered standard industry protocol, are legal. This essentially allows a corporation to legally and politically govern themselves.
In Western history, governments have promoted and advertised for cutting down on certain foods such as meatless Mondays and wheatless Wednesdays. There is also a current American White House tradition called the turkey pardon. Despite these actions, governments have failed to properly address the environmental benefits of such actions, which only boasts climate change
