The documentary discloses that, “ birds are now raised and slaughtered in half the time they were 50 years ago, but now they're twice as big.” But this comes at a great cost. The chicks are growing into chicken at such a fast rate that there bones and internal organs can’t keep up. They can barely take a few step because of their weight. The condition of the chicken houses is disgusting. They’re overcrowded, dark, and covered in feces.
The male birds are disposed and killed at birth. To produce bigger thighs and breast, they selectively breed and genetically alter them. They make these birds so big that their own bones cannot support their weight. The broiler industry says their broiler houses that chickens are raised in are unlit to prevent
Sexton states facts about how much kittens are birthed a year in the U.S. Companion pets such as dogs and cats have to be euthanized because they are unwanted. “Private owned agencies and taxpayers were paying billions of dollars a year for catching, feeding and caring for these unwanted animals.” (Sexton, J.

And issue is that the available animals in a shelter do not meet the desired criteria of the potential adopters.” (Sexton, J.
When taken out of cages their bones are so fragile they tend to break. Male chicks are no value to the industry so they are killed at birth. Hens cages are stacked in rows on top of each other so thousands of birds can be housed together with approximately five to eleven birds in each cage. Their is not much human contact, Birds fall out of cages, get stuck between them and end up dying from having no access to food or water. With waste accumulating, ammonia can cause burns to the animals skin, eyes and respiratory tracts.
Upton Sinclair was an author who wrote more than 90 books, but his most famous, The Jungle, was written in 1906. In the book, he reported on a meat packing industry he had visited. Not only was the meat processed repulsively, but the conditions for the workers were unbelievably abominable. The book sold more than 150,000 books in the first year. Americans were appalled by the truth in their meat products, including how dead rats were ground together and sold as sausage, and how guts were packaged and sold as “potted ham.” When President Theodore Roosevelt read it, he was disgusted, among with other U.S citizens.

Chickens, for instance, are raised and slaughtered in half the time they were fifty years ago; but these chickens are raised bigger. Their breasts have been redesigned to be larger due to people’s preferred taste of white meat. Bones and body organs are unable to keep up with this rapid body growth; so the chickens are unable to walk without
In Animal Farm, the windmill also comes to symbolize the pigs' totalitarian triumph: the other animals work to build the windmill thinking it will benefit everyone, and even after it benefits only the pigs the animals continue to believe that it benefits all the animals. The second code and convention I can identify is stereotypes. Orwell represents Joseph Stalin through an image of the pig Napoleon. Through the existing stereotypes of this animal in popular culture, he intends to portray the greed, laziness and viciousness of this evil ruler of the Soviet Union. Pigs are stereotyped as “dirty”, as their pig sties are usually covered in mud and
After many years Napoleon began to abuse the use of his power, favoring pigs and dogs.
