...The misery hiding behind your hamburger In modern culture, murder is something society is yet to accept for obvious reasons. The idea of someone taking your newborn child from your arms, and not being able to fight back is absurd. As horrific as such scenario sounds, we are contributing to these dreadful acts. Factory farming is when large quantities of animals such as cattle, pigs, and poultry, are housed together for mass production for the pleasure of our consumption. As a consumer ask yourself, is the murder of an animal justified? Is wanting a hamburger more important than the suffering and torture of the animal which it came from? Though a large amount of people are for animal rights, most are uninformed of the suffering behind factory farming. If people knew the true conditions in which the animals live, the unacceptable lifestyle these creatures have, and the torturous process that contributes to having food on your plate, we would all be hostile to the practice. Factory farming is unacceptable and it should be abolished....

...Meat without Guilt of Ethics Jessica Paxton Devry University America today has developed a unique relationship with meat. They love meat because it is part of everyday life, but they have guilt about the process the meat has been thru to get to them. Meat in America goes through slaughterhouses that have been called into question more and more. Slaughterhouses stop many people from eating meat because of guilt, but changing the process by; first reevaluating the ethical treatment the animals go through, secondly meat needs to not have a sense of guilt come with it, then change the assembly line process when killing the animals, and finally reverting back to hunting animals for just what we need. First, slaughterhouses need to be reevaluated for the ethical treatment of how the animals are killed. There are rules that they slaughterhouses are supposed to abide by both ethical and legal. However, there are many situations where those rules are being broken, but nothing is really being done about it. There was one instance where PETA came in and found that one slaughterhouse was treating the animals with cruelty when they investigated. http://www.peta.org/features/Agriprocessors.aspx http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/news-slaughterhouse-cruelity-humane-death-myth In this specific case it shows how animals are inhumanely stored to be slaughtered. These companies plead guilty to 10 counts of animal cruelty after the investigation was over. They had been killing animals...

...POLICE CORRUPTION AND MISCONDUCT Police corruption became widespread shortly after the formation of the first American police departments in the 1800's. Police misconduct can range from minor cases to criminal acts that are considered to be corruption. Misconduct can be defined as mismanagement especially of governmental or military responsibilities or intentional wrongdoing; specifically: deliberate violation of law or standard especially by a government official; or improper behavior. Corruption is defined as impairment of integrity, virtue, or moral principle: depravity; decay, decomposition; inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means (as bribery); a departure from the original or from what is pure and correct. Police corruption is a very gray area because people and society disagree on what is classified as corruption. One of the most famous police officers in the United States is Frank Serpico. Serpico had pride in wearing his police uniform, but it quickly dissipated when he realized his partner was picking up pad money (payments by store owners to ensure cops would be there in case of trouble, but also ignore minor violations of the store owners and their customers). Serpico did not want anything to do with that and didn't want the ...

... First accept my Salaam and good wishes. You may have read my website: www.vegetarianmuslim.org. You advocate the slaughtering of animals and eating its flesh while I condemn slaughtering of animals or eating its flesh. Very few Muslims would favour me for what I write and preach. It does not come as a surprise to me, for I am learned and enlightened while most of you do not know your religion or may never have read the Holy Quran with its deep meanings. I have nothing against you. Ultimately, we have to pay for our karma or deeds, sometime, somewhere, and somehow until we die. But it is my duty to let you know the reasons why I preach vegetarianism, why I am against slaughtering or eating of animal flesh, it may be a bird, a four legged animals, fish or any kind of eggs. Even honey and undue use of milk is avoided by me. WHY? IS THE QUESTION Brother, my reasons are as under: 1. Islam was introduced to us by our Holy Prophet Mohammed(peace will always be upon him). He was a hardcore vegetarian. Even small children who read the life history of the Prophet knows , when the Holy Prophet moved away from Mecca to Medina, he did this under great hardship for several days through the dessert and the jungles and on the way he lived on cooked leaves. He never slaughtered any animals during this transit period. He cautioned everyone that meat of animals are intoxicating like wine and also told his followers that they should not turn their stomach into a grave of dead animals. 2. Islam...

...Balancing Veganism Diet is a major concern amongst Americans today. There are many reasons why someone would choose a specific diet, whether it be weight loss, allergies, or moral reasons. No matter the concern, many people will jump in with hopes of quick progress. Veganism is one of the top diet choices of today. However, is removing a vital component of nutrition like meat detrimental to one’s health? Are moral issues distracting from nutritional wellness? With the knowledge of proper research veganism can be as nutritionally sound as a balanced eating style. Before breaking into the principles of vegan eating, let us focus on what a balanced diet is. As defined in Total Fitness & Wellness, “a well-balanced diet is composed of approximately 58% carbohydrates (including complex carbohydrates and simple sugars), 30% fat, and 12% protein” (Powers, Dodd, Jackson, & Miller, 2009). These are necessary requirements for daily functioning. Can a cheeseburger fill all three percentages? Unfortunately yes, but there are very few nutrients in overly processed foods. Balanced diets focus more on lean meats and higher quantities of fruit and vegetables. The...

...Food Inc. was undoubtedly the most effective to convince me to change all my habits that involve food. Food Inc. displayed images and footage of how the mass food production industry really is. This industry is absolutely disgusting and disturbing. Massive herds of cattle born in a factory just to be fattened and slaughtered. The film showed how the big meat and other kinds of everyday food industries bully farmers into doing whatever the corporations want. The film reveals the corruptive and elusive tactics of these industries through their lawsuits and contracts. The film displays the food industry for what it is; a mob like business. The film shows the conditions of the mass product farms for different products alike. Animals being the...

...TugIn 2012 a Japanese chef named Mao Sugiyama, had his genitals cut off so he could eat them. He then took his frozen penis and scrotum home and decided to offer them on twitter for 800 yen. He had a grim and served his guest around 160 yen to eat his cooked genitals. his genitals were topped with mushrooms and parsley. he only allowed 6 different guest to eat his genitals. The guest had to sign a waiver so he was not responsible if anybody became ill. He did not get arrested because cannibalism was not illegal in Japan at the time. That is just one of many stories of cannibalism. The dictionary definition of cannibalism is “the usual ritualistic eating of human flesh by a human being”. In my opinion the act of cannibalism is a despicable...

...much and were very happy. Patrik worked as detective for the police agency and Mary was a stay-at-home wife. Mary was expecting a baby very soon, which makes the murder very unexpected. Some readers believe that Mary planned to kill Patrick, but Mary did not plan to kill her husband. On (Pg2) it says “ Mary did everything without thinking” If Mary did everything without thinking the evening of the murder then there is no way Mary could have planned to Kill Patrick. Mary did not plan to kill Patrick on (Pg2) after Mary hits Patrick with the leg it says “ She came slowly, feeling cold and surprised, and she stood for a few minutes, looking at the body, still holding the piece of meat with two hands.” Surprised is the key word, you would not be surprised about something if you planned which means Mary could not have planned...

...by a miracle I have found more food. Meat to be exact. When I first found the meat I thought it inedible, but it surprisingly one of the most delicious sources of nutrients in the world. I can see myself living off of it for a few months, but the strange thing is my legs began to hurt right after I started cutting the meat. It has now been a month and five days. My legs are now no longer hurting, but I can no longer feel my toes wiggle or my calves hit the ground. I hate to admit it, but my water supplies have run out, but another miracle has been worked and I now have enough water to keep me alive. No one has come to save me yet which honestly scares me into thinking I will not survive this ordeal. The odd thing though is that this is the best tasting water I’ve ever tasted. A month and a half has passed. I have not run out of meat, but now the strange pain that was in my legs has now been transferred to my arms and chest. Now I think that I have no chance, since my new source of water seems to be running out. It is obvious that my dying breath is coming soon, but my real question is. When? Since I no longer have any control of my legs I contemplate just not eating. The strange thing is my continuous meat source seems to be getting fatter and fatter. A month and three weeks have now passed. As I lost feeling in my legs after finding the meat my arms and chest has become victims of the same fate. I think that the meat was poisonous or something of the sorts...

...Despite animals, not deserving abuse, there are still evil people out there who create and participate in horrible festivals such as Yulin. The Yulin Festival where dogs are skinned alive and beaten to death so the Chinese community can consume meat. In addition, parks and zoos such as Sea World perpetuate animal abuse by locking and not properly taking care of animals. Humans are inconsiderate and inhumane as they treat animals with zero respect and in effect, animals such as the Atlas bear, Bali Tiger, Saber-toothed cat, and Yangtze River Dolphin “have been wiped off the face of the earth” (“Animals Near Extinction, Abused and Neglected—Let’s Be Their Voice!”). So many people are uninformed in the world who do not realize the horrible effects of animal abuse that is occurring around them every day, thus animals are ending up in shelters, being euthanized, and dying. If more people were properly educated about what animal abuse is, where it is occurring, and the effects it partakes...
