Fast Food to All Food Reflection



I am an animal lover but I am not biased. America loves animals. Typically the mainstream animals; dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, etc. Especially dogs! Majority of Americans love dogs because every man's best friend is a dog. If a dog was to be mistreated or neglected, people soon defend the animal, and fight for their rights. Yes it is a very awful thing to hurt a dog, but people has also forgotten that the food we eat are also animals. Just like dogs in China are a source of food for the Yulin Festival. We are disgusted by that because of how close we are to dogs that we do not consider them technically an animal anymore, they are our family. We forget that the chickens, pigs, cows, etc in the farms are also animals who have feelings and should be equally treated like dogs and cats. This reminds me of Charlotte's Web because in that movie the farm looked like what a farm should look like. Farm animals should be loved, cared, and taken good care of. They should have the freedom to have their own space, see the sunlight and sunset, and to roam freely. I have watched an animal channel where some farmers take good care of their animals until they die off, and that is when they are made as food. So, of course animals no matter where has a say in this, even if they are the pandas. 




By Richard Lobb of National Chicken Council says in the film, "In a way, we're not producing chickens, we're producing food." I think this means that most, approximately ninety percent of farms goals is to make animals, like chickens, gain so much fat in a matter of time, so that it could provide more food. They only care about the food that the chicken will turn out to be, never what the chickens feel. 




I believe that the most effective people to oversee the treatment of chickens (and animals) is the government because the government can ban mistreat on farm animals and create a large amount of fine if a person did mistreat a farm animal in any way. The government should also inspect monthly on these farms once the law is through. Once a month, every meticulous details, in case some farmers are sneaky. If the farm animals are happy, then I am also happy and I would not care if the cost of chicken or food rises a little. But they also have to think that why would you raise the cost of food when every people of the United States pay taxes every day and every year!! Yes I get it it is for the improvement of our lands, but if there was a very considerate, full-heart, politician or whatever that can give SOME money for improvements, but they never use their own pocket money. What is more hilarious is that America is not even slowly paying off the HUGE amount of debt from China. I just do not understand!
