ENG 102- Prof. Parker Factory Farming Political Cartoon This political cartoon presents the argument of how animals are treated in factory farms. Where they are mass-produced and kept in ammonia filled cages that irritates the animals bodies. These animals are kept in artificial light or even blackout rooms in order to control their behavior and growth. The animals are injected with hormones to stimulate growth, which results in chronic pain, mobility and heart problems. In order for these animals to survive they are fed antibiotics to maintain their health. In factory farms, many of the female animals spend their entire lives pregnant, placing them under an extreme strain. The chicken in the cartoon is a perfect example of the how these animals are treated and expected to produce quality products. While they are being injected with chemicals and put into an extreme unnatural environment. These animals live short lives due to their small organs becoming unable of sustain their heavy size. Many of the animals that are slaughtered are still babies due to this short life span. Not only are these factory farms torturing their animals, but the environment is also affected by the harmful pollution created. These farm factories even endanger consumer health due to their unsanitary animal housing. They are breeding grounds for salmonella and E. Coli, which was rarely an issue with traditional farming. Bacteria is constantly evolving, which means factory farms must inject their animals with even more antibiotics to keep them from becoming susceptible to the diseases. Antibiotic abuse is a dangerous thing; it develops super bacteria that is drug- resistant and spread from animals to humans. I agree with this political cartoon because it expresses the unfortunate reality of these animals lives and the quality product they are expected to produce, an unrealistic desire. For these animals cannot produce healthy products because of their poor health. These selfish factory farms should care for their animals and consumers health. The solution to this problem is government intervention, no longer should they turn a blind eye to this issue. For it will soon become an epidemic of unhealthy animals and meat eaters. If we put this unhealthy food into our bodies we are only promoting this abuse and consumer disrespect. Lastly, the talk bubble of the chicken saying, Consider it payback, followed by an egg with a toxic skull and bones symbol expresses the attitude I hold towards these farm factories because if they are treating their animals like garbage they should not be able to reap the benefits of a quality product, but given a product equal to the standard of living these animals endured.
