Guinea pigs have been eaten in South America for hundreds of years, long before they became pets in the West. Eating roasted or fried guinea pig is an ancient tradition in parts of South America, and still common today. But in other parts of the world the animal is known as cuddly pets for children. In the Andean mountains of Ecuador, guinea pigs aren’t treated as pets; they’re bred, boiled and deep-fried for dinner. Guinea pig or Cuy as it is called in South America is a local delicacy that’s unique to the highlands of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. Guinea pig is a vital part of traditional Andean culture, in many more ways besides their importance as a basic food, they are crucial in a variety of socially significant feasting rituals. Guinea pig is most often eaten for special occasions, a tradition that dates back hundreds of years to the Incan empire. Many Indian families in rural Ecuador keep guinea pigs, which they kill and eat. The meat is known to be delicious, but there is very little of it.

Alastair Norcross in his article “Puppies, Pigs, and People: Eating Meat and Marginal cases “expresses the moral dilemma based on factory farming. Norcross gives an example of a man named Fred. Fred has to torture puppies in order to be able to enjoy chocolate. This is because when puppies are brutally tortured and then brutally killed they release a chemical called cocoamone. This chemical enhances the taste of chocolate, so Fred is killing puppies for gustatory pleasure. Any morally sound person would be appalled at what Frank is doing to these puppies and that is the basis of Norcross’s article. He is arguing that raising animals on factory farms and what Fred is doing are both morally wrong, because in both cases we are brutally killing the

Many blacks added their skimpy diets by gardening small plots given to them for growing their own vegetables. Many involved in survival fishing and hunting, which produced wild game for the table. Foods such as raccoon, squirrel, opossum, turtle, and rabbit were hunted by the slaves, until the 1950s, very common charge among them still largely rural and Southern African-American population. Native Americans of the U.S. South also supplemented their diets with meat like deer, derived from the hunting of native game. Venison was a very important meat staple due to the richness of white-tailed deer. They to also hunted rabbits, squirrels and opossums. Cattle, adopted from Europeans, in the form of hogs and sheep, were kept. When game or livestock was killed, the entire animal was used. Besides the meat, it was not unusual for them to eat meats such as liver, brains and intestines. This tradition remains today in trademark dishes like chitterlings (commonly called chit'lins) which are fried small intestines of hogs. livermush (a common dish in the Carolinas made from hog liver), and pork brains. The fat of the animals, particularly hogs and pigs, was reduced and used for cooking, frying and baking. Many of the European settlers in the South learned a lot of different Native American cooking methods. Cultural dispersion was set in motion for the Southern dish. Poor blacks in the South made many of the same dishes coming from the soul tradition, but styles of preparation sometimes varied. A lot of similar techniques popular in soul and Southern cuisines are shared with early cultures all over the world, including Rome, Egypt, and China. Southern food has developed from over 1000 years of exchange, origination, and
One reason for this problem was that there was no real inspection of the meat. A quote from “The Jungle” tells of a government inspector checking the hogs for Tuberculosis, “This government inspector did not have a manner of a man who was worked to death; he was apparently not haunted by a fear that the hog might get by before he had finished his testing. If you were a sociable person, he was quite willing to enter into conversation with you and to explain the deadly nature of the ptomaines which are found in tubercular pork; and while he was talking with you you could hardly be so ungrateful to notice that a dozen carcasses were passing him untouched.”# This obviously led to tubercular meat being processed in the packing house. Another problem was the incredible lack of sanitation and the use of spoiled meat, another quote from “The Jungle” tells of how dirty it was in these plants “There would be meat stored in gre...

Although George Orwell’s Animal Farm was created in order to mimic individuals as well as occurrences that took place during the Russian Revolution period, it is still possible to gain a comprehensive understanding of the text without a past knowledge of history through the exploitation of human nature’s imperfections. Following the publishment of his novel, Orwell confirmed that his goal in writing this fable was to expose the wrongdoing of the Soviet Union as well as the treachery of the true ideas of the Revolution. Nonetheless, there have been several other examples of events such as the French Revolution that can effortlessly be contrasted against components of the allegory. However, we need not to dig no deeper than to the fundamental faults in human nature to witness the catastrophic consequences that attributes such as hierarchy, propaganda and betrayal have on today’s society.

Many people think it is easy to target the audience and change it up a bit. In each version the language will switch around, the narrator usually will transition, and the audience has different targets. When the language is different the whole story changes also.

Many animals such as monkey undergo painful suffering or even death as a result of scientific research for the sake of humans’ health.

I live in Mercedes and at one point when I was walking from stars to the high school, and stray dog for no reason started growing at me and my instinct was to run until I got the a building. This can happen to anyone, they can be attacked trying to touch a stray or just simply walking by, or even worse a child can catch a disease. Also owners with their pets are also getting attacked by stray animals because they strays tend to be over protective of their territory, or they just want to fight with the pet of the owner.
