Cal-Macotte Farm Chicken
Why did the chicken cross of the road? She couldn’t due to the horrid conditions companies like Perdue, and Tyson has her living in. Whether we realize it or not the poultry industry has become a necessary part of our daily lives. The egg industry to be exact. Whether it’s our morning omelet or a delicious, sweet, and moist cake; even our pet’s food contains eggs. Not many people truly understand where these eggs come from and what laying hens must go through to simply produce eggs. Many laying hens live in pens not suitable for their needs. When talking to Morghan Neuhofer, daughter of the production manager at Cal- Maine Mascotte Farm, I asked “Do you know the average size of a chicken coop, for a laying chicken?” She replied with “it varies

    Chicken: the Dangerous Transformation of America’s Favorite Food Analysis

    Diseases, health risks, unsanitary living conditions, and animal cruelty are just a few of the problems associated with the production of poultry products, resulting from the choices of major food corporations. On farms, typically called broilers, chickens are raised in confined farmhouses, often cramming hundreds of chickens. Forcing these animals to live in their own filth, health factors become a major concern. In the span of four to six weeks, chickens are raised in their own feces, an…

    Summary Of Rhetorical Analysis Of 'Migration On Ice'

    “Migration, on Ice: How Globalization Kills Chickens for Their Parts” is an article that was written by Malia Wollan, a regular contributor to that New York Times. The article was originally published in an issue of a magazine called Meatpaper, a magazine devoted to discussing the policies, ethics and other issues that surround meat. Although Ms. Wollan does not have a direct call to action in the article, it's argument is that globalization of the meat industry has a lot of ill effects on the people on the receiving end, in addition to it's obvious benefit of cheap meat. The article uses the persuasive tactics of ethos, logos and pathos throughout in order to establish…

    Fast Food Nation Summary

    Reading this makes me surprised that we have supported and invested our money into fast-food restaurants that did not even take care of their employees and was not benefitting individuals with all the growth hormones that were put into their animals for such a long time. When the McNugget came out it was a huge success but it wasn’t enough for Fred Turner, he wanted more McNuggets and bigger ones, this then lead to getting a new breed of chickens, according to Eric Schlosser they were had “unusually large breasts” (140). But not only were the animals treated poorly, their own employees who worked hard were being treated as working animals. Right here in Greeley, Colorado, we have and still have a slaughter house where animals go to be cut into chunks of meat so we can cook and eat them. There are plenty of slaughter houses located all around the United States. Back around 1979, a worker named Kenny was working at the Monfort slaughterhouse in Grand Island, Nebraska. In the shipping department, where Kenny was positioned in, there were boxes that weighed over 100 pounds and one day a box fell from above where Kenny caught it with one arm. This incident ended up having him get severely herniated disks but the worst part about this was that the company doctor told Kenny that all he had was a pulled muscle, after months of…

    Vegans vs. Meateaters

    feathery chickens that run wildly about, and the pink pigs that roll in the mud. We may also sing about that nice farmer, Old McDonald, and all of his nice animals. The truth is that Old McDonald with a straw hat has been replaced by a business man in the hard hat. Ninety-five percent of the meat we eat does not come from Old McDonald's farm. Hens, chickens, turkeys, and over half of beef cattle, dairy cows, and pigs come from an “animal factory" which is a mechanized environment. This new farming method finds blue skies, tall silos, and grassy hillsides good for calendars but, bad for business. Those pictures are not cost effective. Animals are not treated with the loving care of a farmer but, are treated like inmates on death row.…

    A Critique Of Kristof's Home

    Kristof supports his claim by demonstrating the “public outrage”(2) from a “frightened dog in Orlando”(22) compared to the “far worse treatment of billions of chickens” (4), by illustrating the insensitive treatment of chickens including “antibiotic overuse”(20), “grim”(16) conditions consisting of hens “crowded into tiny cages” (16), and results of a “grotesque disease called gangrenous dermatitis” (7) that “‘rots’”(8) innocent chickens and transforms them “‘to mush’” (8), which could have a negative effect on humans who consume the chickens, and finally the author explains how the farmers are “threatened if they protest” (11) because the large, greedy companies take advantage of the authority they obtain causing the farmers to have “no control…

    Slaughterhouse Blues Inhumane

    The unforeseen problems that agribusiness has brought to the host cities range from the increase in crime, health problems, communication problems, increase in migration (documented, undocumented, refugees) that leads to prejudice and culture clashes, inhumane working environments, increase in housing cost while working for minimum wage, environmental problems, and much more. In the book, Slaughterhouse Blues: The Meat and Poultry Industry in North America, David D. Stull and Michael J. Broadway point out that the current state of the meat and poultry industry is unstable and inhumane. If large meat and poultry corporations like Tyson and others want to decrease these unwanted problems that come with the food industry, Stull and Broadway…

    Food Inc Analysis

    Animals usually have a natural growing stage, a chicken's full growing cycle can take 65-70 days. With the help of science and technology meat producers reduce that to 45-50 days. Producers want to get these animals bigger and they want to that in a cheapest way and in a fast way. This makes the products unhealty.Many of the chickens that are in the farms of big companies never see sun light. The companies do not want media to see their food being processed and getting ready to enter the market because they know that the truth and reality of their meat will scare the customers away. The repercussions would be huge and that would significantly…

    Summary: The Negative Effects Of The Fast Food Industry

    Animal cruelty in the fast-food industry is a common problem that is violating animal rights. Since the fast food industries wanted to make more money, an easy way that they did that was by feeding them as quickly and cheaply as possible. Therefore, they feed them leftover meat, fat, blood and bones from other chicken slaughter house. The author’s Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson states “Chickens that die from a heart attacks have been stuck by “flip over disease”. It is most likely…

    Food Inc. - Reflection Journal

    * That statement means that they don’t think of chickens as animals anymore. Right from the moment they’re laid (as eggs), they are thought of as food. I completely disagree with the statement, and this might affect the way chickens are raised by the point of view of the workers and officials (and what have you). If we keep thinking that these chickens are not animals, but are merely food for ourselves and our consumers, the process of making chickens might become more inhumane as it evolves to become even more efficient.…
