Description[?]:
| It is a known fact that animals can feel pain. Most animals can also experience fear. Some animals, mostly mammals, can even experience emotional pain, attachment, and empathy. Animals are not equal to humans, and as a government, we must always value human lives more than animal lives. However, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't care at all. The situations in some farms are so abhorrent and so ghastly that I won't even refer to them as living conditions. Many animals "live" (I use the term lightly) packed together in the most unsanitary and uncomfortable conditions, packed together like they're in the lower decks of a slave ship. Many are kept inside of warehouses and factories; never to see the light of day, for they were most likely born in this same warehouse that they'll die in. Many are injected with dangerous drugs and chemicals from birth, in order to make their flesh more desirable for when they're eventually murdered, sliced up, and sold. These chemicals cause an unnatural and painful growth of certain body parts. This usually ends with extremely fat or deformed animals who are in constant pain and too unnaturally large in certain places to even be able to stand or walk. The packed, unsanitary, and merciless conditions, combined with the chemical torture and eventual murder of each inhabitant might lead you to think of factory farms like concentration camps for animals. You'd be 100% right to think of them this way. I know that I can't change the nature of humans, or wean an entire nation off of eating the flesh of other lesser, but still living and feeling creatures. However, I can fight to improve the living conditions of animals up until the point when they meet their unjust end. Let us be a light unto the nations on this issue. Let us end the conditions that any decent person would abhor if only more people knew about this issue. We must establish centralized and set rules governing the treatment of livestock, and once and for all end the agonizing and nightmarish conditions that so many of these poor creatures live in. We must be a voice for the voiceless animals, who cry out in pain every day. |
