Life on the Farm…It’s NOT as we Know it. Close your eyes for a moment‚ and imagine someone taking your family pet and shooting a bolt into her skull. Now further envision that this shot didn’t entirely incapacitate your beloved family member‚ but instead just made her woozy. While she attempts to regain clarity‚ her hind leg is shackled and she’s hoisted into the air upside-down.

Paper 1: Human Rights Theory In this paper‚ I will make a number of arguments against the human right to social and economic welfare. In particular‚ I will examine Henry Shue ’s defense of subsistence and illustrate why I find his reasoning ineffective.
