DON'T BEAT IT... before WE eat it ! (Grow up/Second post)



Animals are being abused, which cause their health to decrease and then the animals will be unhealthy. Animals are being caged, crowded, deprived, drugged and manhandled. Then when animals are transported to the slaughter ( the murder house)... they receive no food or water. The animals basically aren't taken care of. Some of them die before they slaughter because of an illness or being starved. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. There are even laws called 'Ag-gag laws', and they were placed in certain states, meaning certain states were not allowed to get any type of footage to expose how animals are being treated in these factory farms ( how sneaky is that!) .You're probably wondering why should we care for the animals when we are going to kill them then eat them anyways. Our animals health could affect our health. If an animal is unhealthy and sick, and we eat this animal, it would be a chance that we will have an illness. Ever ate a good tasty burger? Well that tasty burger could of been a sick, unhealthy cow before it got on your plate. Look at it this way, healthier animals make food tastier and better!

    Danisha,

    Thanks for including the information about the laws. I am curious to know how they can be enforced if we can't get in to see how the animals are being treated...very sneaky, indeed!

    They have laws about this? Why? This is something the Government has to be aware of they advocate how they want people to eat better food when even fast food joints serve better quality meat! Even though fast food has it's perks even their meat is nasty.I feel chickens shouldn't be trapped in such tiny cages. They develop brittle bones and are cooped up with at least two or three others hens. They also serve old hens to schools but that's a topic for another day.

      I just wanted to add a small little reply to you. The government is not completely oblivious to what is going on they just choose to turn their cheeks the other way. They are aware of whats going on because government does play apart in food we eat. WE talked about it in Lisa class before not sure if your class did but I know mine did. But yeah just wanted to say that the government is aware.

    I just learned something knew because I never heard about the Ag-gag laws. I agree with you on how animals shouldn't be mistreated and they should be taken care of properly. You have a really good point because like with cows, because they are not taken care of properly and are not fed grass but instead fed corn something they are not able to digest they get unhealthy and may develop a strain of E.coli disease in their intestines. Also the cows are forced to eat in cramp spaces surrounded by their feces which is also unhealthy for them. If an animal gets sick that a person is bound to eat then that person will get sick because the animals sickness is going to be carried with it to the person's plate.

    Thinking of the last part of your sentence makes me want to puke! the people raising these animals don't even care about us and what risk they're putting us at,younger children are eating these things and have a higher risk of getting sick.They are suppose to keep people in mind while processing meats but it seems like they don't they now have animals in crowded factories animals are living with their feces on the ground and eating things that can cause these animals to get sick,these are the type they are feeding us!how gross.I wonder do they feed the meat they process to their families probably not.
