Blog Entry 9: Reasearch
My research topic is about Animal Welfare. Animal Welfare is about the way that farmers handle their livestock. Because of the desire for more profit more factory farms neglect their animals and keep large amounts of animals together in bad conditions. They don't consider these animals as living creatures but instead as capital to make money. I believe that that there might be some type of connection between how factory farms treat their animals and the safety of the meat that those same animals produce.
If humans become sick due to malnourishment and other factors, could the same happen to a factory owned livestock. If they do get sick, what affect will these sick animals have on us? I also argue for proper treatment of these animals.

Julio,
ReplyDeleteYou have a great idea; you can also try talking about the animal welfare act which was signed in 1966. The animal welfare act requires that minimum standards of care should be provided for the animals that are put up for commercial sale and much more. You can check out this website it talks all about it. http://awic.nal.usda.gov/government-and-professional-resources/federal-laws/animal-welfare-act. You can also provide information on the conditions the animals live in, for example why are chickens kept in small cages. You can also provide information on whats being done to treat these animals better orif they are just treating them worst.
