The Meatrix Issues (animal welfare):
It is painful but true, every year hundreds of thousands of animals lift up for food undergo horible living conditions because the majority of meat, dairy, and poultry production takes place in industrialized or factory farms.
These factory are huge, and by their point of view, animals are profitable unit of production, rather than they deserve health care and welfare for efficiency and profit. However, those animals spend their life in the factory with the absense of comfort and freedom. They need more space to breath and more healthy food with the touch of proper care. Because of those animal we enjoy our meal, if they don’t get perfect care it can be harmful for us. On the other hand, those animal can be affected by various diseases. And because of we eat meat it can contain disease to us too.
According to The Meatrix website, “In the U.S, dairy cows have been bred to produce higher and higher amounts of milk, and evidence shows this practice has led to a higher occurrence of disease“. Those cows are affected because they are injected by artificial hormons for making more milk. On the other hand another evidence found by The Meatrix website that is, “Approximately 98% of chickens used in egg production live in a cage of only about 48 sq. in”. So, as we can see because of limited space chickens are suffering a lot and sometimes it also causes various diseases such as “bird flue”.
In conclusion, raising awareness can prevent this terrible situation now a days. Therefore, it is important to know our local farmers about how the animals were raised and if they were slaughtered humanely or not. We can also search out companies and brands that follows strict animal welfare guidelines.We must work together to save our animals as much as we can.
