The stun is supposed to induce a heart attack or seizure, but improper stunning animals feel everything that happens to them (“Slaughterhouse”) The Humane Society of the United states says nine billion chickens are killed every year. Every year, chickens and turkeys are killed improperly. One way that chickens are killed is being shackled upside down, paralyzed in electrified water, then dragged across throat cutting blades, which doesn’t always cut their throats and they die in scalding hot water, so they don’t die right away (Humane Society).

Why is it that it is acceptable to eat a pig or a cow, but repulsive and almost insane to eat a dog?

Aggressive behavior is shown throughout social media, music and everyday life. Entertainment today contributes to the fact that today’s youth are vulgar, rude, and rebellious and disrespect authority.

and lack the sagacity required for the tough job. Supporters of captive breeding, along with zoos, proclaim that the released animals are actually acclimating well and that zoos have saved certain animals from extinction (“Captive Breeding” 69).
