The use of horses for human consumption dates back to the earliest use of animals for human consumption. Horses are used for food in many counties but are also considered inhumane in other countries. In the United States specifically, horsemeat is not the norm for consumed meat. There seems to be a problem that has arisen. It is suspected that horses being slaughtered at horse slaughtering factories are not the most up to date, pain free for the horse, and human as people suspect them to be like

Bacteria, viruses and parasites as well as chemical residues present in meat and poultry products present health hazards to consumers. It is important that anyone practicing sheep production to understand application of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) in meat production as well as the chemical residues in meat that are of health significant.

The Controversy of Testing on Animals Facilities that use animals for teaching, experimentations, surgery or testing purposes are known as research facilities. Currently, there are twelve animal research facilities in the state of Alabama ("General Information on Animal Research"). There are many different reasons why animals are used for research. Animals are used to test the products used in cosmetics, for biomedical research, for military defense and food production. Many people including
helps keep the health of food in place and checks for any abnormalities in our foods (“Safety Inspections.”). Any food that is processed outside of the United States is sent to a certain port through which the USDA can inspect and clear these imports to make sure they are safe for consumer consumption.

Animal Rights and Animal Welfare? Two totally different things; one implies that animals should have the equality of humans, and the other implies that animals must be treated with respect, and cared for properly.

genes tampered with to gain desirable traits. Desirable traits can include immunity to diseases, quicker growth, or even fattening an animal. GMOs are mainly used in food sources, such as animals or crops; the produce is engineered in such a way that it provides an advantage for the supplier and consumer. Advantages to genetically engineering a vegetable crop or a animal, can and will bring in more food source for the human population. Tomatoes are an example of a food that has undergone genetic modification;
The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 was an attempt to regulate the meatpacking industry and to assure consumers that the meat they were eating was safe. In brief, this act made compulsory the careful inspection of meat before its consummation, established sanitary standards for slaughterhouses and processing plants, and required continuous U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection of meat processing and packaging. Yet, the most important objectives set by the law are the prevention of adulterated or
complicated and influential bonds among people and other animals, both positive and negative. It’s not an uncommon opinion that the welfare of animals is of ethical importance.

how puppy mills operate one must know the facts about animal abuse, why they operate, and how to prevent the use of puppy mills. Where are the bigger production centers in the United States? How are the dogs treated? What about the lasting effects on the animals' lives?

Although many Americans were recently startled by a reported case of Mad Cow Disease in the United States, they are assured protection from infection by: consumption of selected meats, closely guarded packaging plants, and regulation in beef imports.

Agro terrorism is classified as a threat to plants and animals, through biological agents, diseases and pests. The United States Department of Agriculture, the USDA has pinpointed a few of the most likely cases that America could face. They include wheat and soybean rust, as well as some types of wood
The acts created by the book gave the American public peace of mind, but operating under these century old laws today still causes meat that is contaminated to be distributed to the public, even with inspection of carcasses (Hinderliter). The argument involved in this problem is that it is impossible to inspect every single piece of meat, so spot checking is the only method considered necessary. Despite this fact, Patrick J.

some of the most disturbing fictional depictions of the lower class, and some of the most well-read in the past century. The Jungle, now hailed as a literary masterpiece, is credited with being the reason for the Pure Food and Drug Act and Meat Inspection Act of the early 1900’s (Ewers). Though Sinclair’s story is revered for supposedly helping to reform a corrupt industry, research of both the current day meat packing industry and life of the twenty-first century immigrant proves that the story
