The Ag-Gag Law

587 Words3 Pages

Introduction: Mark Bittman, a food journalist, published the article “Who Protects the Animals?” in New York Times. In this article, he coined the term “ag-gag” law. It is a term to describe the law to prohibit whistleblower who takes photograph and film scenes related to animal abuse problems on industrial farm. It even prohibits anyone who distrubate it, whichs means a anayoums submit the evident of animal abuse. Those evident cannot be pulished due to the limation of this law. Currently in United State, 7 states have passed this bill. Bittman argue this bill does not protect animals and all farms should be regulated. I agree with Bittman. I do not think his argument is effective on the ag-gag law because his argument is mainly about regulation of …show more content…

Bittman believe the roof of this problem is the state law. Farm animals are not protected by state law. People are distuish by those evdeient. It in deed rise awareness. The law maker came up with an excellent idea to prevent that. They pulish who ever take the photograph of abuse animal, so no one would dare to take those evident. The public would see those distugish photograph because they cannot be puliblem. Isn’t that a great idea? Bittman believe this law does not regulate the farm. It gives farm more power to abuse animal. In my opinion, I found ag-gag law is inhumane to farm animals. It is also a set back and disgraceful for journalist. Farm animals deserve the right that slaughterhouses applies. Slaughterhouse has advance technology to kill animal. Animals only spend a minutes before being dispatched. The pain is far less than hammed the animals into death. It is undertand why farm does not have technology like the slaughterhouses. New technology costs money. Profit is out-weight than humanity. In this situation, it is important for state rule maker to insure that animal suffer the least pain at possible. Posing laws in farm would definity help in this situation. Everytime heavily fine would posed

    Gregg v. Georgia: Punishable by Death Hunter Alto AP Government-3AB 1-7-18 Many Americans debate over the use of the death penalty as a capital punishment. Some argue that it is inhumane to kill somebody or the form in which they use to kill somebody can be botched making it extremely painful. While others will argue that the death penalty is an adequate punishment for those who have committed a serious crime. As Americans we have many liberties and freedoms which protect us from the government and other people being unusually cruel to us when giving someone a penance for a crime they have committed. This freedom is established in the 8th Amendment of the United States Constitution, which says “Excessive bail shall not be required,

    I do agree with the U.S. Federal government’s management plan for wild horses. Based on the reading, the U.S. Federal government had the best interest of wild horses in mind when declaring this act. The act protects horses from humans by making wild horses components of the public land they occupy. The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act prevents humans from slaughtering wild horses. The act also considers the natural behaviors of horses and how these behaviors will affect the longevity of the wild horse population.

    Thinking this was a problem, she led a grassroots campaign requesting that the wild horses and burros of the United States be protected, controlled, and managed. As a result, she not only gained the nickname “Wild Horse Annie”, but the “Wild Horse Annie Act” was created, proclaiming that wild horses and burros could no longer be hunted using motorized vehicles (“Program History”). Twelve years later, the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 came to life. It gave a definition of wild horses and burros, stating that they are “all unbranded and unclaimed horses and burros on the public lands of the United States”. Additionally, this document included that all lame, old, or sick animals are to be humanely disposed of, and that in case of overpopulation,“appropriate management levels should be achieved by the removal or destruction of excess animals, or other options (such as sterilization, or natural controls on population levels)”(BLM).

Every second innocent animals are being sent to slaughterhouses to be killed in such cruel and inhumane ways. The torture that goes down in slaughterhouses is something the meat industry does not want the consumers to find out.

  • Pros And Cons Of Eating Meat

    This farmer “loads his truck full of...cattleman’s steaks and homemade pork sausages” and sells directly to “conscientious eaters” at farmers’ markets. Perhaps the truth may have been censored as terms like ‘free range’, "pasture raised”, “grass fed" and “organic” have little legal meanings and are often routinely abused by larger farms, most likely for a marketing advantage and to charge consumers more. For example, the cows, branded with sizzling-hot irons, are sent to be fattened prior to slaughter after spending their lives being kept in filthy enclosures… and farmers would still be permitted to label them as "organically raised". So although these things can be slightly less cruel, it’s still unacceptable meat and definitely should not be considered as "humane" as that would be like saying harming an animal five times rather than six is okay, either way, they’re all unethically treated and will end up in the same
