Topic > Promoting veganism to protect animals - 1334

Breeding sows are confined to gestation stalls, pigs have their tails docked without anesthesia, calves are tied by the neck in veal cages, and laying hens are debeaked and kept in cages too small to spread their wings; in factory farming, animals are treated like commodities. These vivid images describe facts about animals. The search for solutions focused on two paths; the first reforms the system and establishes more humane standards, the second promotes veganism so that fewer animals are raised, fed and slaughtered. While few animal activists disagree with the promotion of veganism, some believe that campaigning for reforms and humane labeling is counterproductive. Humane standards can be required by law or instituted voluntarily by farmers. Farmers who voluntarily accept higher humane standards oppose factory farming or seek to attract consumers who prefer meat from animals raised and slaughtered humanely. There is no single definition of “human meat” and many animal activists would say the term is an oxymoron. Different meat producers and organizations have their own humane standards that they adhere to. Humane standards might include larger cages, no cages, natural feeding, less painful slaughter methods, or a ban on practices such as tail docking or beaking. In some cases, the campaigns target retailers or restaurants rather than actual producers, and push companies to purchase animal products only from producers who raise animals according to certain voluntary standards. The individuality of societies is divided between supporters and opponents; Is there a thin line between truth and lies, or is the slaughter of animals for food always inhumane? The bib......center of the card......everyone would be vegan. Unfortunately, this choice of raising awareness is not left up to just anyone. For the vast majority of the population, total involvement in this process consists of purchasing small, bloodless packages that bear no resemblance to the live animals they once were. If humans want to continue to protect themselves from the truth about factory farmed animals, the least parents can do is stop lying to their children about it. For most of us, the act of deliberately killing an animal would be a disturbing act. One way would be to insist on offering a vegetarian lunch option at least once a week on school menus. Children could learn to eat what their peers around the world eat. From a health perspective, children would be given a break from public surpluses, such as milk and cheese, which are traditionally high in sodium and fat..
