Exploration Five Naomi Hillman

I love animals and seeing them in factories makes me sick to my stomach. This film is “Fresh”, is a community of advocates for healthier, more sustainable food, a film that’s used all over the world as a platform to raise awareness and connect people to solutions in their community. A lot of issue stuck out to me like how they treat the animals such as pigs, cows and chickens in the factories. I believe that in the film, in the chicken factories parts of there beaks had to be cut off so they wouldn't fight or hurt each other.I know that's a procedure but it feels like animal cruelty to me. In the film they talk about whats going on inside these factories. One issue inside the factories was the drugs they were giving to to animals. Cows are herbavors rights? So why feed them mean in there grain. Cows could be eating grass which helps them get the food that they need. “Animals feeld the plants, plants feed the animals.” What happens is that people would invent a drug to give to the animals that would help them grow faster but finding something something that works then applying into everything else. Some chemicals don’t work that way. Nature doesn't have monoculture. Use antibiotics to keep animals alive, while pesticides keepis it healthy? Not necessarily the case. Spraying crops can lead to a big disaster, eliminating risk in algraculture is not good for the environment nor the economy. “TAKE CARE OF THE GRASS, GRASS TAKES CARE OF THE ANIMAL,” someone said in the film. These factories aren't good for the animals nore the environment due to the dieases that can get in the food. Filling all these animals up with drugs and chemicals can really effect our food sources.
Pigs in factories all crowded up together. they need sun
and non polluted food.

  1. I agree with you, Factories do not help us. All they do is create issues when it comes to taking care of the animals. They are more prone to diseases and the animals have to suffer.

  2. Your'e argument on feeding animals to animals is strong and you clearly have a strong and healthy opinion on this that helps your argument.

  3. It seems that many of the "procedures" can be classified as animal cruelty, like you said. It is hard to find the line, though, between what is necessary and valid as a policy for raising animals and what is irrevocably out of line.

  4. I think your picture goes well with the destructive costs of factory farms in the United States.

  5. I would say that quote was probably from Joel Salitan, just because it really focused on what he did. I agree with you, the whole thing is like a domino effect; changing one thing can change many things, for the worse in this case.

  6. I agree that industry animals are under cruel conditions. It's sad to know that this mistreatment of animals is tolerated simply because the treatment is reaping growth and money for these factories.

  7. Nature definitely knows best in these situations. If chickens are cannibalizing each other because of the stress of their conditions, the solution should be to remove the stress, not their beaks. This cruelty defies common sense.

  8. I think that your picture shows exactly how these animals are being abused and mistreated.

  9. Mutilating them for the factor of crowding is sickening its sad how they don't receive the same spot light as dogs and cats with the ASPCA.

  10. With such a stressful living environment and unnatural diet, I can not imagine the animals tasting too good.
