Why do we raise animals??
![Page 6: Students will be able to: Give reasons why some people disagree with raising animals for food. Explain how research using animals has helped humans. Give.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e2d5503460f94b1db45/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We raise animals in order to cloth and feed our society. We also have certain animals for companionship.

Activist vs. ProducersActivists see the places where animals are mass produced as ‘animal factories’ where producers only care about money.
Producers are in the business because they enjoy animals and have their best interests at heart.

Is this animal cruelty?Keeping a dog in the house all day while you
are at work?Riding a horse?Keeping a bird in a cage?Forcing a cat to eat a vegetarian diet?

Possible confrontation with animal rights activist
Many of these groups or individuals may confront producers, students and teachers.
![Page 13: Students will be able to: Give reasons why some people disagree with raising animals for food. Explain how research using animals has helped humans. Give.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e2d5503460f94b1db45/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What would you do? How should each of these be handled?
-A group of protestors have placed themselves in cages as part of a demonstration.- A person approaches you at a livestock show and begins questioning how you are treating your animal.
The entire idea behind most groups is to get people fired up so that they will in turn do something stupid to make the news.

Safe Practices Make sure that your animals have plenty
of food and water at all times.Watch for disease.Allow them to have plenty of room.Never mistreat the animal by hitting or
kicking them.

Animals as Objects of Respect
Animals as Rights Holders
Models of the Relationship between Humans and Animals
![Page 18: Students will be able to: Give reasons why some people disagree with raising animals for food. Explain how research using animals has helped humans. Give.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e2d5503460f94b1db45/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In this view, animals--and their pain--are seen as having some moral standing in the human world, even if it is not equivalent to human standing.
We are urged to reduce animals suffering unless there is a strong human benefit for such suffering (e.g., medical research with animals).
Animals as Objects of Respect

Animals as Rights Holders

The exact argument here is not clear, but it seems to be that, if animals suffer as a result of our actions, then we should refrain from those actions.
Questions:Would killing animals be permissible if they felt
no fear or pain?Might alternatives sometimes produce more
pain—e.g., animal experimentation to develop human life-saving drugs.
Compassion for Suffering
![Page 21: Students will be able to: Give reasons why some people disagree with raising animals for food. Explain how research using animals has helped humans. Give.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e2d5503460f94b1db45/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
"If the death of one rat cured all diseases,it wouldn't make any difference to me.“
--Chris DeRose, director, Last Chance for Animals, as quoted in Elizabeth Venantand David Treadwell, "Biting Back," Los Angeles Times, April 12, 1990

"I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic. Twice a day I take synthetically manufactured insulin that still containssome animal products--and I have no qualms about it." Sweetland adds, "I don't see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals."
-Mary Beth Sweetland, PETA

Another argument against eating animals is that vegetarianism is healthier.
The argument seems to have this structure:Eating meat causes many health problemsVegetarianism/Vegan does not cause health
problemsWe should avoid meat and be
vegetarians/Vegans.Questions:
Should we always do what is maximally healthy?
Who should get to decide?
The Argument from Health

Some animals exhibit a high level of intelligence that requires a new level of human consideration.
Do we need to treat highly intelligent animals differently than less intelligent animals?
The Argument from Animal Intelligence
![Page 25: Students will be able to: Give reasons why some people disagree with raising animals for food. Explain how research using animals has helped humans. Give.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e2d5503460f94b1db45/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Some animal experimentation is avoidable or redundant
Can animal suffering count, even if it doesn’t count as much as human suffering?
Three R’s:Reduce the number of animals used to a
minimum Refine the way experiments are carried out, to
make sure animals suffer as little as possible Replace animal experiments with non-animal
techniques wherever possible.
Medical Experimentation

Should animals be held in captivity for humans to view?Promotes animal welfare programs
Should we try to preserve animal species that may otherwise die out?

To end all human "exploitation" of animals -this includes, but is not limited to, raising and slaughtering of livestock for human oranimal consumption, eating meat, hunting, using animals for any medical or veterinary research, zoos (regardless of how wellmanaged), circuses, rodeos, horseshows, dogshows, animals performing in TV commercials, shows or movies (regardless of how well treated any of the above are), guide-dogs for the blind, police dogs, search& rescue dogs, and the practice of owning pets.

"...the animal rights movement is notconcerned about species extinction. An elephant is no more or less important than a cow, just as a dolphin is no more important than a tuna...(In fact, many animal rights advocates would argue that it is better for the chimpanzee to become extinct than to be exploited continually in laboratories, zoos and circuses."

To prevent suffering and cruelty to animals. And to provide care and good homes for pets in need. This often includes, but is not limited to, the funding and running of animal shelters (to provide a sanctuary for abandoned, abused, homeless, or unwanted pets, and to place them in good homes where possible, provide painless euthanasia for those that cannot be adopted, and to educate the public about the need for spaying/neutering their pets to prevent more surplus animals ending up in shelters), enforcement of anti-cruelty statutes (where their authority permits),initiating, lobbying for, and monitoring enforcement of legislation to ensure more humane standards of care for livestock, laboratory animals, performing animals, and pets.

"In the early 1990s when the demand for fur was lower and trappers were going out less, in many areas people immediately began seeing problems caused by beaver. When this happens, the wildlife department has to go out to hunt beavers, trap them and break up dams at the taxpayers' expense. It's at these times that you start to see the management role that the trade plays.“

"While our survival depends on the use of other species, we need not and should not use them cruelly or wastefully."
"We have a right to the benefits of nature but these will not be available unless we care for the system that provides them."
