Assignment #8- Thinking About Arguments

Don’t Presume to Know a Pig’s Mind

In the Article, it is about how pigs are mistreated in order for the farmer's companies to make more money.  It is a way for the rich to start rich and the poor people to stay poor.  The Chipotle website says that they only use happier pigs??? But how can you measure pigs happiest when we cannot even understand what pigs are thinking.  We do not understand what pigs like in weather at all.  They put pigs in a gestation crates that can control the amount of pregnant pigs. In order to stop the mistreatment of the pigs the price of bacon would raise which can go both ways the people would do not want animal abuse get there way but then the rich will get more money out of the poor people.  All of the big operations would be able to make the changes but all of the small farmers would be put out of the industry with this it would create more job losses and put poor people in a greater percentage. The worldwide hunger will get even higher than what they are right now which will cause more deaths in the nations.  They want the farmers to abandon methods of the production of the affordable food supplies.

I feel that the way people treat animals is something that can be important, it can help show your reasons for being an animal lover.  I picked this article because it was something that I felt would be easy to write about because it has a meaning that I can care about. As an animal lover myself I care about how animals are treated even if they will one day just be killed for our pressure to eat that type of meat. I would still like to be knew that they were treated well when they are alive.  When animals or anything is alive it is a sin to harm that animal.
