Essays on Chickens

The definition and summary of what is and should be allowed for when it comes to animals and their confinement and purpose is up for debate. There are people that feel that any treatment of animals is all well and good due to their lesser status as compared to humans. There are others that suggest that animals should have as many rights as humans and that they should be given equal status. Of course, the more reasonable answer is somewhere in between those two extremes given that non-human animals are clearly not on the same level as humans. At ...

Analysis of the Documentary Food, Inc. through the Lens of Ethical Theories and Ideas

Some may wonder whether the food choice is an ethical issue. After all, we make these choices at least three times a day and our individual decisions influence the global industry of food growth, production and processing. As Jones, Cardinal and Hayward remind us, we exist in society and are connected to other people. This is why our choices, in our case, the food choices, affect other people, and their decisions influence us as well (2006, p. 3). Various theories of ethics propose different ways of viewing the problems of food production and consumption and seek solutions in distinct ...

Article Review

The humanity nowadays has gone so far in terms of various behaviors that the question of what is morally permissive is getting harder and harder to answer. The topic of the meat consumption has been raised already long time ago and seems that the power of discourse continues to grow. There are a lot of various aspects that are involved in this issue such as health, energy consumption, pollution, but the most debatable here stays the moral question. Is it morally acceptable to be violent to domestic animals or to farmer ones? Is there any difference between them? In ...

The chicken limb (wings) develops and buds out from the lateral plate mesoderm at typical locations along the sides of the embryo. These limbs grow with regional specification that includes distinct anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral pattern. The limb buds out because of the interaction between the mesenchyme and apical ectodermal ridge (AER). The signals sent from the AER maintain the progress zone in the mesenchymal layer. The progress zone has cell in highly proliferative and undifferentiated state. This knowledge can be used to produce higher number of chicken wings from fewer chickens.

There are certain compounds that are known to ...

He goes through various cultures citing dates and discusses the overview of the inequality faced, and why it existed.

Diamond asks for a basic explanation as to why food production did not emerge in certain places where it would have drastically improved the conditions of the ...

The Age of the SME

Several studies have been conducted to investigate whether the age of an entrepreneurial SME affects its success, and if so, how. Nunes, et. al. (2013) concluded that both age and size restrict the growth of young SMEs, yet do not seem to affect older SMEs in the same way. This is presumable because an older firm has grown in size since its inception and/or has acquired adequate management experience to navigate difficult times and environments. This same study also identified two more factors that are limiting for young SMEs, yet not so for older enterprises. As ...

Humans are not the only animals to feel pain – all animals feel pain. Accidentally tread on your pet dog or cat’s paw and it will let you know immediately that you have hurt it. You will very probably apologize to the injured creature (even though it doesn’t understand your words), and fuss over it to show you are sorry. The fact is you really do not want to be the cause of any unnecessary suffering to your domestic pets – your household companions – so it is only right to behave in the same way to all other animals ...

The torture on the speechless birds is unimaginable. This is worst example of treating any living being. Chicken is the major food source and the poultry farms are the biggest suppliers. Just for the sake of the profit they accumulate large numbers of chicken under worst possible conditions. This atrocious treatment given to the birds is another reason not to advocate food prepared with these chickens. These kinds of poultry farms are bulk suppliers to many restaurants who serve various chicken dishes. Clearly, these farms are not following any strict guidelines mentioned for welfare of ‘Broiler Chicken.’ These farms ...

The film is a great expose about the story behind the supermarket foods. It educates the viewers about the misconception and sometimes deception being employed by the supermarket giants. It tells the story of the very few big retailers that controlled the supermarket business and the control they have at the farmers and price. Aside from the animal welfare issues that are raised by the film, labor practices are also questionable because the workers’ right and safety are also put in danger. Most chicken farms are being subsidized by giant food companies. These farmhouses chickens in a tightly cramped space ...

Abstract

The body has two main systems that are involved in the maintenance and reestablishment of homeostasis, nervous system and endocrine system. The endocrine system is made up of groups of organs that are involved in the production of chemical messengers known as hormones. Some of the major endocrine glands that are found in a human body include the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, pineal, gonad, adrenal, and pancreas glands. Although biological observations that are grounded in the functions of endocrine systems were noted by some of the ancient cultures, the modern understanding of various endocrine glands and the way they produce ...

Not many years ago, being vegetarian was almost cultic; however as society becomes more educated about the meat it consumes, more and more people are embracing the vegetarian life-style. The main reason for this conversion is the quest for longer, healthier life. When my siblings and I were growing up our parents did not have much money, therefore we did not always have meat; sometime three or five times per month. Despite the fact that our mother was a good cook and knew how to make vegetables taste good. we thought we were depraved going without meat. The one ...

Abstract:

For every medicine, for every poison, for every food or anything that would entail human use or consumption; there would always be a test subject that would make sure it is safe for use, consume or dispose. While there are human trial tests in laboratories nowadays to test new strains of medicine, food or scientific improvement; scientists would often test their theories in animals if they would produce positive results that would be advantageous for humans. Nowadays, the issue on continuing animal testing in laboratories for whatever use has been questioned by animal rights groups and concerned citizens to the ...

In Michael Pollan's essay "The Animals: Practicing Complexity," Pollan explores an organic farm and garden known as Polyface, where a complete ecosystem is allowed to thrive without human tampering, the farmers only taking from the land as they see fit, without adding additional cruelty to the animals. Pollan notes that, despite the relatively damaged nature of the property these farmers work on, it is "harder to believe that farming such a damaged landscape so intensively, rather than just letting it be, could restore it to health and yield this beauty" (p. 281). In the essay, he describes how the farmers and ...
