For
my research paper I am going to write about animal welfare in slaughterhouses.
This topic is important to me because I am an animal and veterinary sciences
major and I care about how animals are treated. I especially care how animals being
raised and slaughtered for the meat production are treated. I recently watched
a documentary called Food Inc. and it brought up some very concerning
situations. It showed major meat producers and how their animals are
treated while being raised. It was horrifying to see how they were treated before
they were even sent to the slaughterhouses. In my paper I will talk about how
to improve the treatment of these animals and also ways to improve the actual
slaughtering process. I will probably discuss Temple Grandin’s improvements to
slaughterhouses and I can use the Temple Grandin documentary as a source of
information. I also will be able to find a couple of different articles on the
Cooper Library research website. I will hopefully be able to find articles that
discuss how animals feel in different situations. Then I can apply that
information into a way that would advise business owners to improve their
slaughterhouse’s conditions to make the animals more comfortable and to put
them through less pain and suffering. I think that this is an important topic to
discuss because it affects the majority of the world’s population on a daily
basis. It is important for consumers to know that what they are consuming was
treated well during its life so that they know that it is a healthy product to
eat. It is also important to make consumes feel better about how slaughtering
animals actually is and to know that it is more humane. Finding ways to improve
the quality of life of animals raised for meat is important to me and I think
that it will be an interesting research topic.
