The unethical treatment of animals in factory farms.


Delicious food we eat everyday, we do not think how they come into the supermarket and deli. Meat is the most common tasty food in our daily meal. Chicken tender, beefsteak, pork chop, foe grass all of these are very familiar dish for people. However, the way they raise, fed and comes into supermarkets. For human consumption is very unethical. These create a bad impact on animal health, human health and impact on the environment.

First of all, confined chickens, cows, pigs and hogs make them sick, contamination of diseases. Chickens are raised in the farm with closed window, they never see the sunlight. Where they should be free of nature should take care and love their young, nesting under the tree. According to the humane society of the United States, “approximately 95% of eggs laying hens are confined in ‘buttery cages’”. The cages offer less space per hen then the area of a single sheet of paper! On the other hand, cows are standing under the metal stalls which has too restrictions space for one cow to move forward or backward. “During the gestation period, cows, and pigs are kept in desolate gestation crates. According to the humane society. For being overcrowd, they become unable to move around, immune their body system becomes unable to cope with infections. As a result, diseases spread with other animals rapidly. For example, birds flu, avian flu in the poultry farm.

Secondly, the food animals are fed by the farm owners. Unethical and unhealthy for people. Chickens get antibiotics as growth promoter, which results in wide breasted large chicken in few days. Ducks are forced fed for fatty lever. According to the humane society, birds raised for foe grass are enormous quantities of food through a long pipe thrust down their stomach “as a result, their livers to swell as much as ten times their normal size, seriously impairing liver function. This immoral treatment only for human consumption. Cows should be fed grass instead they are eating corn as they are cheap which is hard to digest. For forced feeding animals, suffer lot of pains, overweight and deformities. As they are feeding unnatural human being are also affected by health problem. For example, swain flu, mad cow and Ecoli diseases. People cannot protect themselves by cooking meat because the meat we getting from those animals whose are getting antibiotics as growth promoter.


Furthermore, the way animals transport from factory to local deli or supermarkets are painful. They are moved off trucks, on the way of long journey they confined in the small spaces and they do not get any food. They are resting where they are wasting feces. When animals are killed in the slaughter house still feces remain in their skin. These affects on the environment also. Because it pollutes the air, soil and water. As a result, the unethical way of killing birds cause potential of exposure to various viruses and bacteria in environment.

To sum up, all the inhumane treatment of animals cause greater problem in our daily life. To eliminate of these problem we have to be aware of and should avoid buying meat so that farm owners can understand their mistake so that they can no longer use antibiotics, refrain from brutally killing animals. I think the way we can save animals, environment and human health.
