    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 The truth is that Old McDonald with a straw hat has been replaced by a business man in the hard hat.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.…

    Most people's initial instinct when they think about livestock is to imagine cows roaming in expansive green fields, living in harmony with the pigs and chickens that stick close to the barn to be fed and taken care of by loving farmers. But, sadly the reality of the industry does not satisfy the imaginations and the practices of small farms that have the time and consideration to treat living creatures with the dignity they deserve. When speaking of livestock factories the animals have become product and with product corporations tend to do everything to make their product the most profitable it can be, even if it is at the expense of lives. The list of horrifying atrocities the factory farm industry commits everyday is far longer than any essay could cover but a few…

    Piggeries are type of factory farm specialized for raising of pigs up to slaughter weight. Some people keep pigs as pet but most of people keep them as a source of meat products, either directly or indirectly. The pig is the friendliest animal on the farm by far: always available for a scratch behind the ears, hardly ever moody, and quick with a grunt of delight. Yet the pig would also eat you for supper if the circumstances were right. Pigs are the only meat-eating animals that we, in turn, raise for meat. Agriculture itself could scarcely have evolved eons ago without the versatile pig, yet fewer and fewer farmers raise even a single pig these days because there comes a time where they cannot control the situations when problems occur such as spreading of diseases to their animals.…

    The Pork Barrel Issue

    • 887 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Even from the way the pork barrel system originated in the Philippines, it is easy to see that its path will not be a smooth sailing one. The pork barrel system originated in 1916, when Americans used the funds to divide and rule the Philippine Assembly. The Americans used it to appease the Filipinos who wanted the country’s independence. Even from the start, it has been a way of buying off people’s support. During Martial Law, former President Ferdinand Marcos abolished the pork barrel system in the country, but he did not keep the money as part of the national budget. Instead, he distributed the pork barrel funds to his supporters. Now, the country is facing yet again another problem in the misuse of the pork funds, with the P 10 billion pork barrel scam noted as the mother of all scams and the people’s protests necessitating the need for immediate reforms to be made.…

    Pork Barrel

    The idea of whether or not to abolish the pork barrel is too hard to decide. But if I were to, I would have chosen not to take it away from the system of government. Yes, I may have stated downfalls in some parts of this essay, but I have a larger picture captured in mind. The outcome of abolishing this system I would always fear. What would happen to the Filipino people if the pork barrel for the betterment of the nation is abolished? Every people must remember this system had its ups in terms of building roads and bridges, program for farmers, scholarships for deserving people, among others. Now, if the pork barrel is to be scrapped, then it should be a challenge to the government to ensure that those who benefit from the program will not be affected. And that is exactly what would happen if it is abolished, there will be no guarantee that these people will continue their education and receive other…
