Kurach, Lindsey and Lynch, Jessica. "The Fast-Food Industry Takes Measures to Treat Animals More Humanely." At Issue: Fast Food. Ed. Roman Espejo. Detroit: Greenhaven Press, 2009. Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center. Web.

The article shows the cruelty that is occurring to the animals just so that a family can have dinner. The article explains and gives examples of a topic that many people should be aware of. The following sentences are examples of the cruelty towards animals. Chickens are being slaughtered by the millions each year also for food. Most of the chickens that hatch are killed because they are not needed by the company. These chickens are also given hormones that allow them to grow much faster then a regular chicken. Because they grow so fast the end up becoming sick and suffer from joint pain. Cows are also slaughtered and are treated poorly because when they are transported they are put into dark places. They are sometimes trampled. Pigs are also treated poorly and are slaughtered. They are kept dirty and are hung by their legs and their necks are sliced. This cruelty has to stop.

This is very important because these animals should not have to suffer like this. They should not have such short lives because they are denied the real value of life. It is humanities food source but do they have to be killed so cruelly. These animals deserve the lives they are supposed to live. They shouldn’t be kept out of daylight. That is the cruelest thing to do. People should help out this cause. This is relevant because it speaks about different ways the food industry is cruel to animals. This is also current because it happened only six years ago and it is credible because it comes from a book that was published professionally.
