Over 99% of farm animals in the U.S. are raised in factory farms. A factory farm is a big, industrial operation that raises large numbers of animals for food. Factory’s these days cram animals in small cages, windowless sheds, and get beat. The animals have no room to move at all or lie down which causes pain in their joints and bones. These animals will never breathe fresh air or feel the sunlight on them except for the day they’re loaded into trucks on the way to the slaughterhouse. The animals are given antibiotics to grow faster and stay alive in their horrible conditions. The animals are always in constant fear and torment at the farms. At the factory many of the animals are still conscious during the hair removal or de-feathering process, they plunge them into scalding hot water while their skin is getting skinned or hacked apart (“Factory Farming: Misery for Animals”). Everyone should eat organic meat if you’re going to eat meat at all.

Scientist test products on animals, mostly rats, mice, and rabbits, to see if it’s going to be harmful to humans. Scientist use animals to experiment on to inject diseases and try to find out what can cure it. They experiment on animals because they think animals don’t have emotions or a life. They sometimes like to use monkeys for experimentation since monkeys are closer to humans in genes and bodily functions. They do different inhumane tests on these animals; drug injections, given diseases, poisoned, and burned. Also get products dripped into their eyes to blind them. Animal experimentation isn’t

The controversy about the cruelty of factory farming has been around for a long time. A man named Jeremy Bentham in the 1800s saw that the key question about the cruelty of animals is whether or not they are able to endure suffering. Many people can’t give a good reason as to why they eat industrialized meat products, and instead try not to think about the horrible treatment going on in the factories that supply our meat. Appiah sees as cause for worry in our meat industry when he gives a large number of how many animals are shoved into feeding lots, where there is overcrowding.

The fast food industry abuses the fact of animals not having the same right as humans. Factory farming mistreat many animals such as calves by taking them away from their mothers and leaving them all alone. According to “9 Fact About Factory Farming That Will Break Your Heart” from Huffpost states, “ The calves are also kept in near or total darkness and suffered from forced anemia, for no reason other than to keep their flesh pale and attractive.” This shows that workers didn’t care about calves by leaving them suffering in darkness and not being feed well which forced them to have anemia.

Many of these animals are not properly cleaned before being slaughtered. One former slaughterhouse employee states, “One of the real problems is that animals have spent their lives lying in their manure, are smeared and caked with the stuff, and they’re entering the food plant” (Pollan). One other slaughterhouse worker also said, “During the evisceration of the animal, the manure can get on the meat.

Animal Abuse in the Meat Industry Hamburgers are one of the most American foods that people are eager to stuff their face with. They are sold anywhere from diners to fast food restaurants with varying quality and price. What is it that makes hamburgers so loved? Americans love their fresh, juicy beef patties, but what aren’t mentioned are the controversial methods of production for that meat.

He breaks the article into four main topics: what hurts the most, whether or not animal lovers are nature haters, are vegetarians bigots, and whether or not animals have rights. He mentions that many philosophers debate whether the suffering farm animals go through is even necessary to consider due to the success that comes from the production of animal products. He furthermore writes that although animal lovers and environmentalists do not always see eye-to-eye, they agree that it is against reputable morals to support the factory farming of animals.
