Animals receive unforgiving abuse before their impending death.
Animals receive unfair treatment on farms before they are sent to their impending death in slaughter houses. Sometimes the animals are still well and conscious before being killed and processed for us. factory farm animals suffers such same destiny but endure far greater pain than regular farm animals.
How do we solve these issues? Of course we could regulate the industry. Plus more inspections on the factories to prevent abuse and the conditions in which the animals inhabit. However the industry can only do so much. We as the consumers of it, should raise conscience among ourselves to force the market to treat their animals in a more worthy way. Since they are being slaughtered anyway they should not endure such pain before their lives being extinguished.

Besides other human beings, other animals are probably the only other beings that can feel pain that's similar to ours. As the demand for meat increases every year, more and more animals are being mistreated in factories, living a short and painful life in cages that only allow few inches of movement.
ReplyDelete"It’s not uncommon for an animal to suffer one or two failed stuns. In the case of a failed electrical stun, an animal may be paralyzed without losing sensibility. Unconscious animals whose necks are not cut soon enough may regain their senses after being hung on the bleed rail."
Sure animals shouldn't be put into suffering while they are waiting for a sure death to become food and nutrition for humans.
But do you think that the people can find the balance between the high demand for meat (which leaves the animals no room but pain) and the comfort of the animals while they are being prepared to be our food?

Esteven,
ReplyDeleteI think that you might find it interesting to know that there are some studies out there that suggest that meat (beef, pork and even fish!) tastes different depending on how the animal has been treated. You should check it out!
