Animal (ab)use in today's society

In our modern society, animals are treated as objects that are there for our use and pleasure, rather than as fellow sentient beings. There are two major areas where animals are treated particularly badly, namely in farming and in medical research.

Modern Factory Farming processes include the keeping of animals in pens where their movement is extremely restricted, the injection of growth hormones (linked to health risks in humans), and artificial insemination to keep milk cows pregnant (with calves being removed from their mothers almost at birth to make the milk yield as high as possible). Farming of all animals, due to the drive to maximise profits, has little or no regard for the animals and reaches the heights of barbarity and unnecessary cruelty. The many recent food scares have shown that intensive farming also affects the quality and safety of the food. Continual use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides is also detrimental to our health, as well as poisoning our rivers and wildlife. The drive to bigger farms means we are losing valuable wildlife habitats as more and more hedges are grubbed out (our land had about 1.5 miles of hedges ripped out before we bought it) and land is drained. Even with free range organic farming, the animals are often kept in quite crowded conditions and still suffer stress and pain before their eventual slaughter. We have no need for animal products in our diet - indeed their intake is often harmful. There is another reason why the farming of animals most stop - the second population explosion. The ever growing number of domesticated animals is competing for land, food, water and other resources with the ever growing human population, as well as producing an ever growing amount of methane which is one of the major greenhouse gases.

Modern orthodox medicine has as its mainstay the prescription of drugs produced by the large multinational drug companies. There are some 200,000 synthetic drugs world-wide - with business interests like these is it any wonder that 75% of GP. consultations end in a drug prescription? All new drugs are tested on animals in cruel and useless experiments: Cruel because the animals are often subjected to maiming, burning or poisoning in the name of research. They are kept in very cramped and unnatural conditions causing stress and fear before the experiments begin. Pointless because animals are physiologically different to humans and often react differently to drugs, e.g. Digitalis lowers blood pressure in humans whilst raising it to dangerous levels in dogs. This means that when a drug is released to the human population the doctors are testing the drug on their patients. Witness for example the effects of Opren, Thalidomide, Eraldin, Chloramphenicol, Nurofen and many, many more; all drugs that have produced serious and sometimes fatal side effects.

Ok there is a huge difference between conventional farms and factory farms. The meat industry wants to think of the old country road with a nice harm. This is a nice picture and although the animals are killed they live decent lives. Factory farms however abuse animals in just about everyway possible. Just check out goveg.com and watch the video Meet your Meat, then you'll understand the truth behind factory farms

People really don't understand what is going on at the slaughterhouse. I urge anybody to watch "Meet your Meat" at www.govege.com and picture your family pet or child in the conditions these animals are living in. It is in humane and cruel. I'm not saying all the farms are like this and not to eat meat, but the animals do deserve to be treated like a living creature.

Animals are not people. Animals were put here to work for and feed man. It is mentioned that fish and other animals were eaten in the Bible and other various scripts. Animal abuse is 10 times less than child abuse, go post on another area, rather than wasting time talking about "human-like things" go find "human" things. Unless your a farmer you have no idea what it is about. A huge majority of all farmers, the ones in USwest are very cautious of taking care of animals. MOre often it is people who live in apartments or run-down houses with multiple animals, and those people are the ones you've seen. it is your responsibilty to report something if you see it and dont like it. If your not doing anything other than posting opinions on subjects. You are wasting your time! I dont mean to be rude, as most of you have been to farmers, but I think today is 100 times better than before when they would throw helpless animals (by the hords) into spike pits. I think farming society has become much better and we as farmers still work on it daily. I know this because we have to change food 4 times a day, thats more than a human would need... so in some sense they are treated better than us. People like cock-fighters and stuff are the ones you need to look out for, NOT farmers. @@@ think about what you say, think about proof. PICTURES ARE NOT PROOF @@@ there are about 15 trillion animals being farmed right now and there are about 500 pictures of animal cruility. check out a site on drunk drivers... then compare the facts. ANIMALS ARE SPOILED,. i admit some are treated bad, (cows ,chickens ,pigs) but most are treated well or above well. Thanks for listening to my opinion, visit my site for more information and opinions from me.

I find it rather funny. So many people who would much rather just argue and complain over who is right, and who is wrong. I am Vegan. This is my own personal feelings. I do not bicker or shame other for thier thoughts. Yes it is wrong to harm animals. Yes we should provide proof if we want change. However, You can not yell at someone and expect them to change. Yelling, screaming, and calling names just proves how immature you really are.

Humans have only been eating meat for the last quarter of our existence. For the first three quarters, we ate plants alone. I agree with 'Bunny' s comments as I am also a vegan, and no, not all farmers are evil, yet ALL farmers are wrong. Animal use in ANY form is wrong, they may not be mistreating them, but they should not be 'used' for any purpose no matter how many times you 'change their feed'. They are not 'ours' to use and belong to no one. To assume that animals belong to humans is no better than assuming 'blacks belong to whites' and it took us a while to grow out of that one too! (some still haven't). ANYTHING that lives belongs to no one but themselves. To bring God into this debate is irrelevant. If you are a believer, then surely you should recall Genesis: ?God said ?See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.??(1:29) Or how about: According to the prophet Hosea, God says, ?I will make a covenant on behalf of Israel with the wild beasts, the birds of the air, and the things that creep on the earth, and I will break every bow and sword and weapon of war and sweep them off the earth, so that all living creatures may lie down without living in fear.? But heck I suppose thats the bible for ya! full of contradictions. Check out : www.christianveg.com/default.htm. To live on a purely plant diet is not only easy, it is nutritionally perfect, and far healthier than having beef rotting in your colon for a lovely dose of prostate cancer! Yummy. Eating meat not only kills millions of animals needlessly every year, it also kills millions of humans too. It causes enormous hospital bills, wasting millions treating illnesses that are avoidable when cutting out meat. Meat and dairy products are one of the biggest causes of cancers. Check out : www.notmilk.com. Think before you defend animal 'use' with or without abuse. It is NEVER right. Check out www.viva.org.uk or peta.org.

Hmmm - this site is named "Plants For A Future" subtitled "Edible, medicinal, and useful plants for a healthier world." One wonders what the point is in this non-topical diatribe against the use (or abuse, whatever) of animals on such a website. Seems to be moot to whatever use we might make of plants. I for one am opposed to killing and eating either plants or animals since research clearly shows plants suffer as much pain as animals. "Give peas a chance!"

Mon Nov 28 2005

Personally I don't eat much meat since I think vegetable sources of protein are much more economical and healthful. And I probably get enough ground up bug parts in my grain to give me those few vitamins that are present in meat but not in veggies. But there is another side to the ethical question: Is it ethical to *not* eat animals when by not eating them the domesticated species (cattle, rabbits, chickens, etc.) would not have a chance to live at all? At least for the larger species there would just be a few of their wild ancestors roaming around probably starving in increasingly smaller habitat if farmers weren't raising them. Of course it is not ethical to raise and use animals in ways that cause them pain and suffereing. But since farm animals have little on no capacity for existential angst, if they were raised and killed without pain I wouldn't see to much to worry about. However, due to the economics of animal farming, that is *not* often the current practise so on that side of the ledger there definitely is an ethical issue to eating meat. On the other hand, most folks don't pay much attention to the pain and suffering of starving and tortured *people* as long as it happens in distant countries - so lots of luck getting them to even think about farm animal welfare. If it doesn't happen on their front porch most folks could care less. In fact there seem to at least a few folks worried greatly about farm animal welfare who don't give a rat's ass about starving children in Africa (or insert about a dozen other countires here). One always wonder if those folks are more concerned about protecting their cherished thoughts than reducing pain and suffering throughout the world.

I think if farmer stop raising animal...then we would stop eating meat. Who are we to make a dicision for animal to live or die. Animal don't make a decision for us. I wish all the animal die and there is no more for human to consume or abuse. Just because they can't express them self with human language we oppress them and do what ever we want. God will punish us for all this wrong we are doing. Animal feel pain just as human. They deserve to live just like we do. Why can't we share our world with them. This is not about "ethic" it's about being selfish.

"God will punish us for all this wrong we are doing." Not my God. "Animal feel pain just as human." Animals have evolved to react to damaging external stimulus with an avoidance response - as do plants. If animals have not recently talked to you to tell you that this response is pain just like humans feel then how do you know it is? Far as I can see most folks here are doing a good bit of anthromorphizing. Animals do not hold any perception in their awareness for more than a few seconds (that can be demonstrated). So even if they feel pain (which I'm willing to consider true even with lack of evidence) they don't feel it for long. Usually the killing of an animal for butchering is quite quick. Unless a "pain" is one that continues on and on it is less meaningfull to an animal than circumcision to a baby (few if any doctors use anesthetic). My life hasn't been filled with psychosis due to dreadfull memories of my circumcision so it may as well not have happened as far as "pain" is concerned. "This is not about "ethic" it's about being selfish." And just what part of "selfish" doesn't have to do with ethical behavior? Without an ethical structure to give it context "selfish" is not a meaningful concept. Unless people provide a valid universal ethical context for avoiding killing animals I figure they are just spouting thoughtless religion and or superstition at me. And my religion is (which allows animals as food sources) is just as valid as anyone elses. By the way - why aren't folks here complaining about insects and viruses being killed by people? Is it because they are not warm and cuddly? I suspect we kill a much larger number of those critters than we do of farm animals. Pity the poor smallpox virus which we have exterminated. Genocide!

Spreading hate to farmers becasue of their treatment of animals is worse no better than killing them yourself. You solve nothing with hate, and it only makes you bitter.

i say that animals should not be use as resources to people they are beautiful beings in gods sight, not for us to decide when they should die or live. how would people like it if they were to be skinned alive or slaughtered while they are still alive. Animals do have rights and therefore should not be used as utilities. people do not need meat and other food to survive they can live very healthy by being vegan.

I am absolutely amazed that there are people out there – especially in China and the like, that look on animals as nothing but produce – doing things such as skinning them alive. How can they? It’s beyond me. With their cries, the look in their beautiful sad eyes, their struggle to get away when they no what fate awaits them. The suffering and the lack of respect to animals for the duration of their miserable lives for our greed and gluttonous ways – especially through Factory Farming is appalling – and I not talking about Joe Bloggs country farm in Devon, where his animals have some standard of living. I believe that Bird Flu and the like are simply nature’s way of trying to make us see what we are doing to these creatures. How much more will it take? A global pandemic that kills millions? And as for the person who said “How do you know that plants aren't "sentient" also?” is clearly brainless. Have you ever seen a plant walk, nurse its young, be affectionate? Give birth? Maybe people should stop listening to what other people tell them in their quest to justify the abuse and use of animals and start listening to their hearts and conscience.

Animals should be treated as children;all of the stuff that is hurting animals and making them sick and that is killing them today in the world.I think in my own opinion that we all need to pitch in and help the animals.I am a person that cares very much about wildlife and animals and I want to do everything I can to help them and save them in every way.I am the kind of person that would give my life to save or help a helpless animal.That is why I want to have a job where you can help animals and a job that makes you feel confident enough to say you can help animals in every way that is possible. I would just like to say thank you for your support and understanding.I hope you help me make this happen. Thnks!!!! Jessica McMichael

if humans didn't eat animals then the world would be over run with pigs, sheep, cows, poultry etc.. I am not a vegetarian but I do not believe in Battery farming hens and hunting endangered species like tigers and sharks
