Scenario
You are walking through the Reedley College Campus when two people approach you identifying themselves as members of an animal rights group. They place some literature in your hands regarding their organization’s positions on the production and harvesting of animals for food. They proceed to tell you that killing animals for food is a shameful practice that should be outlawed. They argue that all livestock are mistreated on large factory farms where they live miserable lives and that these farms pollute the environment. They argue further that the meat products resulting from modern food animal production are unhealthy to consume and are full of fat, hormones, and toxins. Respond fully to these arguments.
my thesis is : animals are not being mistreated.
