Species-specific welfare provisions while the EU is animal welfare policy

Some of the crulest practices are gestation crates, veal crates, battery cages. They reduce the number of animals that can be handled, inspected, and cared for daily. The two welfare directives are reducing confinement, and eliminating and reducing painfu; reducers like tail docking, and early weaning. The birds were deprived of food, water, and light because they banned the beak clipping and the burning of chickens. directives established stocking denisty rates for broiler chickens.
In 2008 the EU proposed a regulation developed with input from a variety of stake holders that increases responsibility for animal welfare by directing operators to recognize physical comfort and prevent injury, disease, pain, aggression, lack of feed or water, and adverse interaction. It also regulates killing methods and worker competency by requiring that personnel handling and or slaughtering animals must possess a certificate of cometence.

The video we saw on THURSDAY

The video is mainly about the animals being brutally killed. They are slammed to the floor head floor the little piglets that are just born in the slaughter houses. The animals that are very sick and that are not growing fast enough are just killed. Cows that are just being borne gets dragged away from their mothers and are sent to be slaughtered for their meet. they chop off the pigs testicles and they cut in their skins while they are still alive causing them to die slowly. pigs are shot in the head with a steel rod and are hanged for their meet. Pigs get their throat slit while they are fully suffering for their lives.The message is to become a vegan and end animal cruelty.

Review for MIDTERM

In the book fast food nation many of the factory owners and the workers do not care about the chickens well being- The workers torture the chickens and they kill the chickens in the most horrific way because their mad, their being abused as well or they feel joy in killing the chickens anyway because they are having a bad day. Many of the fast food owners do not care about the customers and only their money. The system that we live in today is very corrupt. They are very greedy and because they have alot of power America basically have no place for the poor only the rich and successful that have things they want.

BLOG 3

The end of over eating: The summary of the passage basically talks about how its bad to overeat. They talk about the history in which people do over eat because they get costumed to the fat food that we eat today and millions of people world wide do not care about their health just ON whether the food tastes good or not. Based on the economy people eat all the time, they eat when they are hungry, they eat when they are not hungry, people eat when they are sad, and they eat when they celebrate which adds up to millions of people obeast because they are not watching what ingredients are in the food they are consuming. Many people that eat because of pain eats alot and don't realize their eating out of  control and don't want to be told that they are eating too much. They are very much in denial of how many food they should be eating per day. Many Americans gain weight mostly because they don't care about their bodies and being spoiled by alot of junk foods that are in  store and being televised.  Also drugs can also make you gain weight because of the chemicals that are in there.
