Question

Ways to regulate inhumane farming methods

Answer 1

Answer:

The rearing of farm animals today is dominated by industrialized facilities known as confined animal feeding operations, or CAFOs (often referred to as “factory farms”) that maximize profits by treating animals not as sentient creatures, but as production units. Raised by the thousands at a single location, animals are confined in such tight quarters that they can barely move, let alone behave normally.

1. Four or more egg-laying hens are packed into a battery cage, a wire enclosure so small that none can spread her wings. Being held in such close confines, the hens peck at each other’s feathers and bodies.
2. Pregnant sows spend each of their pregnancies confined to a gestation crate—a metal enclosure that is scarcely wider and longer than the sow herself. Unable to even turn around, sows develop abnormal behaviors, and suffer leg problems and skin lesions.
3. Growing pigs are confined to slatted, bare, concrete floors. Stressed by crowding and boredom, they frequently resort to biting and inflicting wounds upon their penmates.
4. In factory dairies, cows spend their entire lives confined to concrete. To boost production, some cows are injected with the growth hormone rBGH, leading to lameness and mastitis, a painful infection of the udder.

In order to facilitate confinement of these animals in such stressful, crowded, unsanitary conditions, painful mutilations like cutting off the horns of cattle, cutting off the beaks of chickens, and docking the tails of sheep, pigs, and dairy cattle are routinely performed.

Answer 2

Answer:

As the demand for these products are increasing daily inhuman farming is done which is one of the largescale method of producing huge amount of dairy, meat

Farm animals like, cows, pigs, goats, are reared in a narrow cage and kept in a metal or concrete floor. Many animals are kept together in the cage.

They are forcefully made pregnant, and given several injections to boost milk supply ,or growth hormone to increase the yield and productivity.

Things we could do is:

1) Not consuming factory reared products , farm animals which are reared naturally without any inhuman means are labelled as " free range", " pasture reared". So buying them instead of buying any other labelled packets.

2) Scientists have developed a process of forming an embryo with the help of stem cells. It is called genetic engineering and this is not a inhuman , painful procedure. This process should be adopted in all the countries.

3) Government should ban inhuman ways of factory rearing animals as it also is harming the environment.
