Blog Entry #7: Animal Cruelty
The Meatrix was a very informative series. It covered every issue that occurs in the slaughterhouses. From overdosing the animals with antibiotics to dangerous labor. The issue that caught my eye was animal cruelty.
At the slaughterhouses, they treat the animals with little to any love. the animals are cramped n small cages where they were fed and overdosed with antibiotics. Many of the animals became sick because of the way they were living. The cages were often full of manor. The workers never cleaned out the cages. some animals even did because of the conditions they were living in.
Because of the way the animals were treated this caused the movement of diseases like Mad Cow Disease. Diseases like this can become fatal. I believe if the workers treated the animals alittle better diseases like that would never occur.

- What is your general subject? My general topic for my research paper will be the food safety.
What is your focus (narrowed topic)? My more narrowed topic will be the affects of antibiotics used in animals has on humans. -
What do you plan to support/argue for? Inform the reader what antibiotics has on humans and what we can do to stop this.
- What have you looked at so far (sources) and how useful do you think they will be and why? my main sources right now has been the book "Fast Food Nation', The meatrix series and also the web.
What re your next steps of this topic is approved?Once my topic is approved i would like to maybe interview a fast food worker and ask them how safe do they think the food is? i would also want to research some articles about the slaughter houses and what is done there.
What difficulties do you see at this time in moving forward with the research process? The only difficulty i might face is my time management and my topic being to broad.
