The disillusion of Old McDonald had A Farm
Factory farms, hatcheries and slaughter houses consistently use inhumane methods to bring meat to our tables. As I viewed the YouTube video, Farm to Fridge I couldn’t help but to feel sympathy for the animals. Watching male chick’s only minutes old being tossed into a grinder was almost as disturbing as watching piglets being slammed to the ground head first. Listening to the tormented screams of pigs having their genitals tore from their bodies is a frightening image I will soon not forget. The branding of the cows without any pain medication is unbearable to watch. All three animals (pig, chicken, and cow) are being tortured for the sole purpose of a bacon egg and cheese sandwich.
All this unnecessary harm being bought to these animals makes you wonder how the humans who inflict the pain do it. I witnessed the animals suffering through my computer screen as I watched on in horror. How is it that these workers are able to physically bring on the pain to the animals and not feel any remorse? It could be a matter of disconnect, these people feel no connections to the animals. They see them as objects and nothing more. But for other people who don’t get to work with the animals we receive our food from, we simply don’t know or are unaware of the pain they are subjected to.
This video connects to my project because it proves our mission statement why people should go organic. Organic farmers use humane tactics for the slaughter of animals. I believe if more people would see this alarming video it would have a greater impact than simply reading about it. Sometimes it takes a visual cue for people to feel a connection.
Camille, I like the fact of how you described the methods and the painful ways workers kill and tortured the animals. I think you should give the audience more examples from the video and the images. For instance, how the chickens and pregnant sows are being placed into small cages; smaller than their own body. Give some direction where we, the readers can follow what you're trying to come across. Also you could write more about the methods the workers use for the cows and pigs being sliced alive. Then you can compare and contrast the process in which the male and female chicks are being tortured.

ReplyDeleteHuman and animal life to the Cafe system is considered expendable in my opinion. This is easily observed through the ways they treat humans and animals. Animals are treated as objects instead of beings; they torture the animals from birth to death with mutilation and starvation. Animals aren’t the only one who suffers from this CAFO operation humans and the environment as so stuffer as well. This organization is set up in a way that no one matter only money matters.
Consumers are constantly at risk with the CAFO system we are exposed to deadly disease like E.Coli and countless other diseases they breed at these factories. They factories try to minimize the toxic food threat to humans by loading the meat up with all types of chemicals. The chemicals stop the short term issue of deadly diseases but they rarely warn people of the future threat from the consumption of these chemicals.
Destruction to the environment from the CAFO system is devastating.
