Personal Narrative-The Ecstasy Of Animals In New York City

314 Words2 Pages

Soft and pleasant like the scent of fresh-cut grass. Sweet and compelling like an evening sunset. Crisp like the weather in the air. The road is a narrow and there are no cars in sight. It is more like a walking path, but I can see tire tracks on the lightly dirt road. The moment is very tranquil except for the sounds of birds singing, insects shrieking and mosquitoes buzzing. The mosquitoes are a real nuisance. There must be hundreds of them so there’s no point of striking them from left to right over and over again. The area seems to be vacant with no sight of human existence around. The only available sights of life seem to come from the emaciated dogs and cats wandering the streets. Up the path I can see a cumbersome animal. It appears to be moving sluggishly and unhurried. As I move closer up the path the large animal becomes clear, as I can now see that it is a cow crossing the street.

    In An Animal’s Place, Michael Pollan describes the growing acknowledgement of animal rights, particularly America’s decision between vegetarianism and meat-eating. However, this growing sense of sentiment towards animals is coupled with a growing sense of brutality in farms and science labs. According to Pollan, the lacking respect for specific species of animals lies in the fact that they are absent from human’s everyday lives; enabling them to avoid acknowledgment of what they are doing when partaking in brutality towards animals. He presents arguments for why vegetarianism would make sense in certain instances and why it would not and ultimately lead to the decision of eating-meat while treating the animals fairly in the process.
