Animals

Eating animals is normal in this world and many animals are killed to feed tons of people. Humans are not only killing them to feed the world, but animals are also being treated badly their entire lives before being killed to be a meal for humans because animals can’t speak like human and that count as animals don’t have the right like human, but now day killing animals become bigger problem because people using animals with everything and industries farm are increasing every day because the more people eat animals and using animals to make beneficial for them in many way, the more industries farm going to have in this world. Animals are live in industries farm in a horrible condition without seeing sun in every day. All animals in this world are being used to create cloths and many stuff for humans and most of animals also using for drug testing and many people in this world eat animals, so different type of diseases in animal’s bodies cause people health problems. People should stop eating animals because animals deserve better rights.

Humans benefit from animals, and get to eat such scrumptious meats. But people forget to pay attention to the most important part of this problem. The animals gain nothing from being raised by humans. Animals are being killed to appreciate human happiness. According to Harari, a prolific and award-winning writer and a professor of history, industrial farming is one of the worst crimes in history. Their article says, “They lock animals in tiny cages, mutilate their horns and tails, separate mothers from offspring, and selectively breed monstrosities” (235). Those animals have been treated badly since they were born and live in local farms before being sent to the slaughterhouse to transform them into a piece of meat that is available to buy at a local store.

Humans are a smarter than anythingin this world, and animals are controlled under human hands. Everything in the animals are being used to make something for humans. Even the animal organs are being eaten by humans or are used for traditional medicine. In each country, there are animals that people believe that are good for health. All parts of the animal bodies are used by humans, even the bones. Also, another important part of the animals that people use are the furs and skins because some animals have beautiful fur and skin to make coats, bags, jackets, and much more. Most of the products that are made from animals’ skins and furs are very expensive. According on Carl Cohen, the humane society institute for science and policy animals’ studies repository said killing animals to meet human needs because animals have no right to against human; to consider having the right the potential claim make claim against another. All these animal products are used to make humans happy with how beautiful the coats and bags are, and how delicious the meat is. Compared to humans, the animals do not have the rights to live or help themselves out of these problems just because they can’t speak to let the world know that they have the right to live.

There are those who claim that drug testing is dangerous for humans, and humans should not be used to be in the drug testing process, and billions of animals are used to replace human suffering in drug test to make sure that it actually safe for humans to use the drugs. According to the research of University of Michigan “Should we not at least reduce the use of animals in biomedical research? No, we should increase it, to avoid when feasible the use of humans as experimental subjects. Medical investigations putting human subjects at some risk are numerous and greatly varied.” This article is not wrong, because humans are different from animals; animals have no right to speak up for themselves, but even now there’s no other way better than used animals on drugs testing, so at least trying to reduce the use of animals and creating new drug research that could help reduce using animals could be beneficial.

However, Animals are being used for everything, and the most harmful way is that animals are being used for drug testing. Animal testing is still being used in medicine devolvement, but it is harmful to use all those unknown medicines on animals. Many animals’ lives were lost for scientific drug testing, but none of those animals get the right to live because many of them are being used in science already, but humans don’t seem to be concerned. As stated in the research of the University of Michigan, “The number of animals used in research is but the tiniest fraction of the total used to satisfy assorted human appetites. That these appetites, often base and satisfiable in other ways, morally justify the far larger consumption of animals, whereas the quest for improved human health and understanding cannot justify the far smaller, is wholly implausible”. People don’t even care about animals, they just use as many as they can without thinking how harmful it might be to the animal subjects in drug testing before humans can used it.

Eating meat does not just impact and destroy millions of animals, but eating animals also impacts people’s health, because there are a lot of diseases in animals. Especially in industrial animal meat, because of the animals’ stress, being in same cages with multiple animals, and never seeing the sun. These are poor conditions for all those animals to be raised, just as Marion Nestle, a professor in the department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University stated, “Bacteria in a cow’s rumen attach hydrogen atom to unsated fatty acids, beef fat is highly saturated – the kind of fat that increase the risk of coronary heart disease”. From those evident, we know that meat has a high risk to cause heart disease in human body, but that is just one problem. There are many more of health problems that can be caused by eating meat. Base on my own experience that I saw in my family, some of them can not eat pork and beef because those meat will cause pain in some part of their body.

Naturally, animals are not supposed to live or be raised like the way most industries farms do right now, because all animals, even though they were born in the industries farm, they still have their own natural behaviors that cannot change. Even though they have been trained to live in the small cage, restrict their behaviors, and human feed them food and provide good health everything to the animals, but all those are just something that they should do to benefit from the animals because soon all the animals are going to turn to be big money for the industries farm. According to Harari, “People provide cows and calves with food, water and shelter, they treat their diseases, and protect them from predators and natural disasters. True, most cows and calves sooner or later find themselves in the slaughterhouse” (234). All those t antibiotics that humans put in animals bodies to prevent animals from contracting diseases is helpful for the animals, but those treatments are going to our body after that, because when the animals are grown enough to be sent to the slaughterhouse and we eat the animals meat, and having those antibiotics into humans’ body is probably not good, because it is not intended for humans.

Industries farm contains billions of animals and all of them are not live in good condition and live in a free life like human because all of them are put in a small cage and treated badly in the industries farm, also all kind of animals in this world cannot escape human; animal’s bodies are using to makes cloths, bags that can cost to thousands dollar. Using animals on drug test are another thing that consider to be one of the harmful way to animals, because think about how harmful is it to use those unknowns drug that scientists create in to animals.
