Comparison Of Slaughter And Lamb To The Slaughter
What happens when a pregnant woman kills her own husband? The short story titled "Lamb to the Slaughter" follows the story of the pregnant
woman, Mary Maloney, and her husband Patrick. The story begins when Patrick decides to end his marriage. Out of anger and shock, Mary kills
Patrick by hitting him on the back of the head with a leg of lamb. Instead of confessing to the murder, Mary Maloney lies about what she did and
tricks the officers into eating the leg of lamb, effectively destroying any remaining evidence of the murder. The theme of "Lamb to the Slaughter" is
deception. Both the original written work by Roald Dahl and the film adaptation use irony throughout the story to display this theme. Although both
formats are presenting the same story and the same overarching theme, there are subtle differences between the film and the written version. The
written piece by Dahl is presented in chronological order, while the film version uses Mary's flashbacks to tell the story. In addition to this
difference, Mary is depicted as a more selfless person in the film, and her motives for killing Patrick are less clear to a reader in the written version.
When comparing the written version and the film adaptation of "Lamb to the Slaughter," it can be seen that the manner with which the plot is
presented varies. In Dahl's written piece, the story is told in chronological order. On the other hand, the plot in the film is presented using flashbacks
that Mary has while lying to the

Laws that are in place to protect animals from cruelty is never enforced by hen farmers. According to Harper's "Humane Methods of Slaughter Act
is somewhat of a mystery". Hen farms, like Knecht and Karcher, consist of 147,000 hens all placed in a confined barn. The hens get food from
chain belts that move along a guided path. A dim purple light is used to keep the hens in a dark barn while they would loath around a floor filled
with sawdust. However, it is not only laws placed for animals that have been evaded. There are many laws in place for farms that consist of audits

The Slaughter Of Humans And Contemporary Animal Slaughter
Hung upside down by their feet, their throats are slit to drain the blood. This is an image that appears in most every slaughterhouse across the globe.
John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel, Let the Right One In, similarly portrays these scenes of slaughter with one difference: the victims of slaughter are
humans not animals. Set in the suburbs of Stockholm, Lindqvist's novel tells of a young and severely bullied boy, Oskar, who befriends a centuries
old child vampire named Eli. Because of her childlike body, Eli requires her older male companion, HГҐkan, to procure blood for her. As he hangs his
victims by their feet and slits their throats to collect the blood, HГҐkan's process of obtaining human blood is clearly evocative of contemporary
Western practices of animal slaughter. However, the difference between HГ
Ґkan's slaughter of humans and contemporary animal slaughter is not
merely the victims' species but is, more importantly, the space in which these acts occur. Despitemeat consumption's widespread acceptance, meat
production by means of slaughter is still visually disturbing and thus, in order to be socially tolerable, must not be seen. Indeed, since the 19th century,
the slaughterhouse has been spatially located at the edges of urban space in order to render its violent actions socially invisible. What happens, then,
when the slaughter occurs within the urban space as HГҐkan's acts of slaughter do? By comparing animal slaughter to the novel's scenes of human

Persuasive Essay On Horse Slaughter
When you think of horses, you might think of them as one of the symbols of the United States. You might think of a founding father riding into the
sunset on his faithful mount. According to an article written by Brandon Gaille, 80% of American voters are against horse slaughter. But, I want you to
consider what would happen if the US allowed horse slaughter back into its borders again. Could you imagine walking into a steakhouse and ordering a
horse steak? American horses are being sent into other countries to be inhumanely slaughtered for their meat, and the US is not reaping any benefits
from this process. Today, I invite you to listen about whyhorse slaughter is needed in the US, what causes the need for humane horse slaughter, and
why horse slaughter is the solution to this problem. According to an article written by Brandon Gaille, approximately 144,000 horses were sent to
Mexico or Canada to be inhumanely slaughtered in 2013. That's an extreme amount of America's horses being sent across the border to be inhumanely
slaughtered. Horses being sent across the border often suffer during the trailer ride. These slaughter trailers are very dangerous in the fact that they are
crammed full of sick horses, and there is often no food or water for long periods of time. If the US brought slaughter back, the animals would be
humanely slaughtered and would not have to be transported inhumanely for long distances.According to The Horse Slaughter Conundrum, 44% of

– The main issue to be addressed has been fleet routing and scheduling. Should the plant own fleet or hire trucks from a third party logistics firm to
deliver the inventory to it facility?
– The facilities shipping pattern must also be analyzed and weighted against information on trucking costs in order to decide which method is more
beneficial to the facility.
– The number of hogs that should be penned prior to the commencement of slaughtering since we have to take into consideration the number of pens in
the plant, the number of hours to pen hogs prior to slaughtering.
– How are we going to manage the plant number of pens to match up with the daily inventory so that the plant will run at full capacity? To do this, we
must determine the number of hogs that should be penned prior to the start of slaughtering so that they wont be any overlap and the plant will run at

All the 2.5 million hogs that are usually slaughtered annually at the Brandon plant are trucked into Brandon from all over Manitoba and certain parts of
Saskatchewan via trucks. The closest farms are approximately half hour away, and the farthest away are 3.5 hours away from the plant.
Combined with loading and unloading, it will take between 1.5 and 4.5 hours to collect, transport, and unload the hogs into holding pens awaiting

Essay on Benefits of Horse Slaughter Industry
The horse is a highly respected animal in United States culture. It has been worshipped and paid tribute to through art, books (Misty of Chincoteague,
Black Stallion), movies (Black Beauty, Spirit), and television shows (Mr. Ed). The horse industry is huge in the United States, encompassing
everything from rodeos and racing to horses owned for purely pleasure. There have been statues erected of famous racehorses, as well as museums
devoted entirely to equines. "Horse culture" is a huge part of American culture. The slaughter of horses for human consumption does not seem to fit

Animal rights activists, as well as locals in the communities are trying to prevent both factories from operating (Scripps Howard News Service, 3/8/01).
Recently, the Texas Humane Legislation Network has been leading the attack on the multimillion dollar companies, citing a law from 1949 that

lawsuits in retaliation. They state that the slaughter of horses eases financial strain, feeds other nations, and is accomplished in a humane manner.
There are millions of horses in the United States; many of the horses are virtually worthless due to poor training/treatment, bad attitudes, poor

This reason could eventually lead to women either being stressed because they don't have enough time to fulfill their needs at work and home, and also

The Ban On Horse Processing Should No Longer Stand
In the year of 2007, congress, after relentless pressure from animal rights activists, enacted a ban on the United States horse slaughter industry. This left
ranchers, farmers, and horses to face the consequences. While lobbyists meant to help the horses of America, they have negatively impacted these
animals in many ways. The ban on horse processing should no longer stand because of what has become of the horse industry, and the life of American

As an immediate effect of the closure of American harvesting facilities, people began to ship horses to Mexico and Canada. In these countries, there
are no laws governing the humane killing of animals. In these countries, horses have very little chance of dying painlessly. According to a report to
Congress by the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) the number of horses exported from the United States and then slaughtered
increased from 33,000 in 2006 prior to the ban, to 138,000 in 2010, three years after the ban. (GAO, 12) In addition to the heartless killing tactics they
now face, horses intended for slaughter now face extended transportation distances, which can prove hazardous. The ban of horse slaughter in the
United States did not help these animals.
Further problems that have arisen in relation to horse abuse include abandonment and neglect. Owners seeking to rid themselves of these costly
animals, generally due to financial situations, have an increased difficulty in finding a place for their horses to go. This leads to abandonment or
neglect. Horse owners who no longer want their horses, or cannot afford them anymore, face fewer options in getting unwanted horses off of their

Horse Slaughter
The topic of horse slaughter doesn't usually come up very often in everyday conversation. Horse slaughter is more of an implicit subject, which your

in the last 5 years. With being involved in the horse industry my entire life, I have witnessed the effects first hand. Some people see it as killing pets,
animal cruelty, and morally wrong. However, I see it as a source of income, a way to stop the starvation and abuse of horses, an export industry for

During the 1930's low supply and high cost of pork and beef made horse meat rise in popularity. Again during World War II, people were again in the
same predicament. Inflation during the early 1970's raised the cost of traditional meats; Time Magazine reported from Carlson's, a butcher shop in
Westbrook, CT, that they were selling over 6,000 pounds of horse meat a day. (Weil) In 2006, the House of Representatives voted to endhorse slaughter
; the bill passed to make the killing and selling American horses for human consumption an illegal practice in the United States.
Today in the US, people do not consume horse meat on a whole sale basis. But because many other counties do, the exporting of horse meat is a
huge industry. When the ban was in place, US horses were being transported to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered instead. From 2006 to 2010
the increase in horses being exported to Canada and Mexico was 148 and 660 percent. They are loaded up on trailers and shipped across the
boarders, often times going days without food or water until they reach their destination. The regulations, or lack thereof, are different than in the
US. (Shesgreen) Valley Meat Co. owner Rick De Los Santos brings up valid points in his interview with NBC News last week. The majority of people,
who are against slaughter, are getting caught up on the "ick" factor of killing our "pets". However, the process is the exact same for cows and pigs.

The Documentary, Earthlings, Written And Produced By Shaun...
In the documentary, Earthlings, written and produced by Shaun Monson, we get a rude awakening concerning the day–to–day practices of the large
industries treatment of animals. This paper will include an explanation behind the argument implied by the writer and defense against the argument
being made.
For a majority of humans, if we see someone else getting hurt, especially if it is someone we know, it hurts us. We have the ability to understand and
share the feelings of one another. This is called empathy (Oxford Dictionary). In the beginning of the documentary, clips recorded from the time of The
Holocaust are shown. This is to make us aware of issues faced in the past where some humans were not seen as equal as others. Even though it is
obvious that all humans generally experience the same emotions, the emotions within these humans did not matter. Therefore empathy in these times
was not shared amongst one another. They use this as a comparison because it is similar to how we are with animals today. The dialogue in this
documentary does not state exactly what the argument is, so one must assume. The first assumed premise is, human are animals. Humans do not
normally fit the prototype of an animal like a cat or dog, but we are still animals. The second premise is that humans empathize with other humans.
When we see someone crying, we mirror their emotions, and we feel the need to cry as well. Together, these two premises create the conclusion that

Horse Meat Is A Great Substitute For Popular Meats
Pros With increasing obesity rates across the globe, the demand for health–conscious foods is higher than ever. Horse meat is a great substitute for
popular meats that are socially accepted today. Horse meat is characterized as a red meat like beef, pork, sheep, and goat. While horse meat is like
beef in appearance, it has more protein and vitamins, and a less fat percentage. Horse meat is also calorically lower than beef, veal, pork, lamb, and
sheep, making it ideal for the rising concern in the United States about a healthy food supply (Stanciu, 2015). If eventually socially acceptable, horse
meat could be the next big fad on the markets.

Brazil economically capitalized on the export market by shipping over two thousand tons of horse meat to its most extensive market, the European
Union, in 2011 alone. The total value of Brazil's horse meat export that year was equivalent to almost seven–million dollars. With a struggling economy
in Brazil, the value of horse meat exports provided the necessary boost. In 2012, Brazil's total horse count added up to almost five hundred and fifty
million horses ("Horsemeat production in South America," 2014). With a plethora of available horses, one can see that even though horse slaughter is
implemented in Brazil, the total horse population is hardly affected as horses are still widespread throughout the country.
Another troubling aspect is the environmental problems that could come about due to improper carcass disposal of dead horses. The halt of horse
slaughter in the United States has caused the sudden need to dispose of millions of bodies of horses which is bound to create a plethora of
environmental problems such as soil contamination ("Horse slaughter bill making waves," 2004). Horse slaughter provided owners with old or injured
horses the ability to rid of them for an eventual product. Common disposal practices like burial could provide problems while the body decomposes,

"Lamb to the Slaughter", by Roald Dahl, tells about Mary and Patrick Maloney. The story takes place in the Maloney household during the 1950s.
As Patrick returns home from his job as a police officer, Mary is ready to prepare dinner for herself and Patrick. Beforehand, Patrick explains he

and not providing room for care–giving and equal right between men and women. Another key term is "Equal right to care" which means that both
men and women should be responsible for providing care for the family rather than just the women, and both should be provided the means to do so
in the work environment. The text is well organized and the rhetorical pattern used throughout the entire article is persuasive. However, she has used

all four methods are approved for the slaughter of swine. None, however, are ideal and all have advantages and disadvantages in pork quality effects
which leaves it up for discussion of which is the best system to use. According to the Humane Methods of Livestock Slaughter Act of 1978, no
method of slaughtering or handling in connection with slaughtering shall be deemed to comply with the public policy of the United States unless it is

Horse slaughter is not humane euthanasia, while, euthanasia is defined as a gentle, painless death provided in order to prevent suffering,
slaughter is a brutal and terrifying end for horses ("Horse Slaughter is not Euthanasia"). It is very shocking to hear all the awful things that horses
go through in the slaughter process. When the horses are herded through the plant to slaughter, many workers use fiberglass rods to poke and beat
their faces, necks, backs and legs as the animals are shoved through the facility into the kill pen (Horse Slaughter "). The USDA recently released
photos of horses with broken bones protruding from their bodies, eyeballs hanging by a thread of skin, and open wounds, all taken at former U.S
horse slaughter plants. This does not sound like animals that people love and have used as companion pets for many generations ( "The Horse

still fully conscious at the start of the slaughter process, during which he or she is hung by a hind leg, his or her throat slit and body butchered.
Death is the final step, is excruciating ("Horse Slaughter").How does it sound okay to butcher an animal before it is even killed? Horse slaughter is

Resentment towards God in the Religous Poem, Tenebrae
In "Tenebrae," Paul Celan channels his resentment towards God through a methodical use of literary techniques. Celan utilizes several motifs to
express his bitterness throughout the religious poem that allow his emotions to be portrayed in an understandable manner. One may identify death and
a sense of closeness as the major motifs along with drinking and prayer as minor motifs Celan used to portray his dark emotions. With the use of
effective motifs, the key element of role reversal, and an angered tone, Celan gets his warning to God.
The poem is spoken through humans towards God, with an evident theme of death that is demonstrated throughout the poem. Death is shown through
the sense of slaughter; it is brought up in the beginning of the poem with the use of words "claw," and "clawed." It is a possibility that these words
are the author's way of referencing the slaughter. In ritual slaughter animals were killed not by blunt force, but by something sharp. Knifes or perhaps
claws were used to cut the animal open such that blood flowed freely out the animal1.Celan keeps up the motif of death with the following verses.
"Askew we went there," (10)
"went there to bend" (11)
"down to the trough, to the crater." (12)
"To be watered we went there, Lord." (13)

Every little girl dreams of having a horse, but what do you do with that horse when he is too old to be rode and he struggles to come in and eat his
grain? Most likely you don't have the heart to put him down yourself, and to have him euthanized costs so much, but are there any other options? Yes,
there is one more option, that is horse slaughter. Don't be afraid of it just because you hear the word slaughter, the horses are treated well and they are
put down humanely. Horse slaughter is a big controversy in the United States, and there are many people that are against it, but I'm here to tell you
why everyone should be for horse slaughter. Horse slaughter is something that is needed and not something that is evil. Today I'm going to tell you
about why everyone should be for horse slaughter and how it can help to control the horse population, help stimulate the economy and help feed people
that are starving. First, horse slaughter can help control the horse population. By taking horses to slaughter then people can sell their unwanted,
dangerous, and old horses. Now there are many of you that might say they could also just be euthanized, but this would cost the owners a fortune. If
they sell their horse to a slaughter house, then the owner no longer has the dangerous horse and he also made money instead of losing money. Since the
United States Banned horse slaughter then abandonment and neglect have in increased by 50% according to Alison Rowe attorney at law's office. The

Comparison Of Torture In Frankenstein And Cycle Of The...
The concept of "torture" was implemented throughout both of the novels of Frankenstein and Stephen Kings: Cycle of the Werewolf. The word torture
means the activity with regards to cause extreme agony on somebody to constrain them to do or say something, or for the joy of the individual
dispensing the torment. In Frankenstein, Victor created his own torment by giving life to a monster whose sole purpose was to torture him for the rest
of his life because Victor abandoned him and also destroyed the re–creation of his companion. As in Cycle of the Werewolf, it was a continuous
nightmare where a werewolf comes to Tarker's Mills every full moon to terrorize the citizens by slaughtering them. Both of these novels convey the
theme of torture all throughout the plot by the actions of the murderous character.
Starting off in Frankenstein the overall torture that the monster brings to Victor is that the monster kept killing off all of Victor's doted ones.
Additionally, in the resolution of the plot, all of the agony caused by the monster caused Victor to die in his attempt to seek revenge on the monster
by chasing him down. An example of one of the monster's victim in the book is where Victor reads out the letter from his father, "I wish to prepare
you for the woeful news, but I know it is impossible; even now your eye skims over the page, to seek the words which are to convey to you the horrible

Thousands of horse owners have to drive miles upon miles to either Canada or Mexico to slaughter their horses. People will argue that slaughtering a
horse is the "humane way" to relieve the unwanted horse population. Since one is responsible for the over population, one should be the one
responsible for reducing the numbers. Horse meat can be used for many things, dog food or other bi–products. One can slaughter a cow or a pig without
anyone saying anything. Euthanizing a horse can be extremely expensive, a vet has to come administrate the medicine and then one has to
dispose of the body because it is against the law to have a dead horse carcass lying around your farm. The cost of this is often why people just leave
their horses to just rot away or throw them on to another farm so it is someone else's responsibility. USDA studies show that 92% of American
horses killed in American Slaughter Plants were in perfect health. Owners will sell their horses by the pound; they would prefer an overweight
horse over a skinny horse any day. "Wild for Life's" study shows that a great amount of registered Thoroughbred foals born are slaughtered for foal
crop. Horses that are sent to slaughtering houses are often rejected from the breeding farms they were sent to. A horse that is rejected is often not the

Lamb To The Slaughter
The quote "Tears come from the heart and not from the brain" by Leonardo da Vinci is highly relevant to the climax of "Lamb to the Slaughter" by
Roald Dahl, because it provides a reason for why Mary kills her beloved husband. This quote explains how when Mary kills her husband, that it was
her heart speaking and not her head. The images on my poster show the calm before the storm, Mary walking up the stairs with the soon to be
murder weapon. Both of these points relate to the climax of the short story. Mary taking the leg of lamb from the freezer downstairs and walking with

Balzac And The Little Chinese Seamstress Analysis
In the passage chosen from Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Siji, the villagers are confronted with the death of a buffalo. This
"accidental' death reveals the double–sided nature of the village, which spotlights their furtiveness, spiritual morals and their thirst for acceptance in
their new re–educated world.
In this passage, the death of working buffalo highlighted the double–sided nature of the village. For example, on page 94, the narrator heard a rumor
that the headman was in on allowing a "slaughter of a buffalo". Slaughtering a working buffalo is illegal in the village, but the headman is somehow
bribed to let it happen. Violent diction is used within the first quote to describe how someone used physical force to take the buffalo's life.When a
death is considered violent, it usually strings from a murder, making the death not an accident. The author also uses selection of detail when describing
taking the buffalos life. For instance, "There was some confusion about which buffalo would be killed and in what manner because it was against the
law to slaughter working animals that were used in the field." By using the words "killed" and "slaughtered" in the same sentence, the quote portrays
the confliction of slaughtering or killing the buffalo as if "killing" it would be more humane. A Little further inthe passage there is situational irony
when the headman gets ready so "the animal could be put out of its misery." This situational irony brings in

Governments in countries such as Japan and Denmark are covering up the mass killings of the innocent creatures. People are convinced that
dolphins are being killed in a peaceful calm manner. The dolphins are being brutally murdered from September till March in areas such as Taiji,
Japan. The dolphins are being first captured by dive fisheries. According to, "Dolphin Meat Obtained In Japan Drive Fisheries", a dive fishery is
capturing fish (dolphins) by luring them to a cove or a harbor such in Tajii or Denmark. After they are lured into a secured area the dolphins are
brutally hacked, stabbed and attacked with spears. Often childlike screams come from the dolphins as they are being brutally murdered. The people
need to be educated that dolphins are in fact being killed a ferocious death at the hands of greedy hunters. Researchers at Save Japans' Dolphins report
that, upon being stabbed they do not die instantly, they instead choke on their own blood or suffocate because their blow holes are filled with their
own bloody water because they are not strong enough to resurface to dive. Often it takes minutes for them die. The slaughter of dolphins is also known

Would you kill your best friend after years of hard work together? I believe horse slaughter is a necessary evil due to many different reasons. The
first reason is due to horses that cannot be used anymore due to health reasons. It would be wonderful to be able to afford a lame horse to sit on
pasture all day, but that is not always an option. Nobody is going to buy a lame horse when they can buy a perfectly able horse for the same price.

The Slaughter of Horses
Slaughtering horses for human consumption in the United States started in the early 1970's. Americans do not eat horsemeat; we consider horses to
be favored animals, just like dogs and cats. The idea of eating a horse, a cat, or a dog just goes against our very culture. It was foreign interests that
brought the horse slaughter industry to the United States and built equine slaughterhouses here. By the 1990's, there were at least sixteen equine
slaughterhouses operating all across the United States. At that time, most Americans did not even realize that such an industry even existed in their
country. Over the years, the industry grew larger and people began to use slaughter as an opportune way to get rid of their undesired horses. Rather
than take responsibility for their horses by either taking the time to place them in a horse sanctuary or by paying a licensed veterinarian put them down
humanely, owners would ship them to a slaughter house and get paid for doing so. In today's United States there is a debate ensuing on whether to
lift the ban on equine slaughter which was enacted in 2007. There are practical as well as commercial arguments that can be made in favor of horse
slaughter, and there are ethical and environmental reasons to oppose it. In this paper I plan on addressing both sides of the debate as well as
explaining each sides main points. In 2007, the last United States' plant capable of equine slaughter was closed due to a district court ruling making it

However although horses are not slaughtered or eaten in the United States, more than 100,000 companion, working and even wild horses are shipped
to Mexican and Canadian slaughterhouses for consumption overseas in Europe and Asia each year (Stepping). Horses end up at slaughter through a
number of ways. The most common being that horse owners bring their horses to livestock auctions when they can no longer afford them, expecting
them to find a good home. However, that is not always the case, what sellers fail to realize is there are middlemen for foreign–owned slaughterhouses,
known as "kill buyers", who frequent these auctions looking for horses. Often kill buyers can be see communicating with the auctioneer in the auction
ring. They often outbid genuine horse owners and rescues, robbing the horses of the opportunity for a second chance at life. Sometimes kill buyers
respond to "Free horse to good home" advertisements. These advertisements are usually from families who love their horses but can no longer afford
them so they give them away. They sign a paper thinking that their horse is going to a good home but in actuality they are signing the horse's death

The Issue Of Horse Slaughter
In today's world dogs may very well be considered man's best friend, but in the days of old horses weren't just man's best friend, they were the most
important tool in his possession. From being a form transportation to being used in competitions and battles to even being a source of food, horses
have always been an iconic figure in American history. Movies such as TheHorse Whisperer, Dreamer, and Flicka portray horses as majestic and
powerful creatures full of grace and beauty that are much more of a companion than a tool. This is quite possibly why the topic of horse slaughter
has been such a taboo in today's culture. While in many countries around the world horsemeat is considered a type of delicacy, to most American's the
idea of eating these exquisite creatures is hard to stomach. There are people who see no wrong in slaughtering horses just like any other livestock
animal, though others find it inhumane and cruel. Those who are pro–slaughter have many practical and economic reasons for supporting it, while
those opposed have ethical issues against it.
Proponents of the horse slaughter industry suggest it creates a source of income for many horse owners. Horses are very expensive to own with the
average annual cost of a horse being approximately $3,876 per horse (Williams). Many horses are unwanted for several reasons, either they don't have

Should Horse Slaughter Be Banned Essay
A Slaughter ban, is not the answer for the Canadian Horse As of "2007, [in the United States] the last three processing plants in Texas and Illinois
were closed due to state and federal laws" (Stull 68). Currently, there are "four Canadian and three to five Mexican plants in operation with federal
licenses and government–inspected programs necessary for export markets" (Stull 69). In view of this, if Canada, enacts a ban on horse slaughter, there
is no guarantee that it will save equine lives or improve their welfare. The slaughter of horses in Canada does not require a ban for the following
reasons, it results in horses travelling further for slaughter, it leads to higher rates of horse abandonment and neglect,and finally the regulations under
which horses travel, and receive stunning in Canada effectively ensure the humane treatment of horses.

Contrary to other livestock that are raised specifically for human consumption, the purpose of breeding horses is for pleasure uses. As Lenz reflected

Therefore, when a horse ends up at slaughter facility, it is likely due to one or more of the following reasons, the owner no longer finds the horse
suitable, the horse is dangerous, the horse is injured, the horse is unable to be re–homed, or finally the owner can no longer afford to continue feeding

Legalizing Horse Slaughter
People are curious. Its our human nature. Have you ever been curious about the meat you eat? Where it comes from, how it was killed, and is it safe
to eat? In America we eat beef, pork, and poultry for the average everyday consumption. What about other countries, or other parts of the world? What
do they eat? Your beloved pet, your furry companion, your best friend. Maybe yourhorse, perhaps. What is this horse slaughter that people are
speaking of? Should it be legal? Yes. It should be legal with limits. It is most likely that anyone you ask about horse slaughter will have an opinion.
Some strongly believe it is cruel, and inhumane, some believe it is for a good cause, or helping the world. Others just don't know their facts, or don't
care either way. " Horse slaughter is the practice of killing and butchering horses for human consumption or animal foods manufacturing" ( Jeras, 1).
A question often thought about is whether or not horse slaughter is humane. If you ask many people, they will say no. Why isn't it humane?
Here is a couple of things to know. Usually the conditions are unsanitary, and infected with disease. The horses could have injuries from minor to
major from the ride to the slaughter house, or from entering the slaughter house. The horses could even have had injuries or health issues before
loading into the trailer to begin with. It is definitely questionable as to whether anyone checks up on updated health check ups on the horses purchased

Persuasive Essay On Horse Slaughter
Throughout, history horses have always been there for humankind, but these four–legged friends have had an unfortunate experience in certain point of
time in the United States. The reason is Horse slaughter which is a term that refers to the killing and processing of horses for human consumption.
What makes this process sicking is in the name itself "slaughter" it's a brutal and horrifying sight for a horse's last moments on Earth. The torture for
these horses starts long before they enter the slaughterhouses. At times, when the horses are transported by the horse meat industry, it is done under
poor circumstances for the horse's health; for instance long journeys, cramped spaces, and deprived of food and water. Then, when the horses finally
arrive at the slaughterhouse, the horses are put under extreme temperatures and are left outside for long periods of time until the real slaughter
commences. What makes it more black–hearted is that no sort of euthanasia is used during the slaughter for the horses, euthanasia is defined as a
gentle, and painless death for horses, so that they do not suffer as much.
The social belief in the United States is that horses have the same favored status as dogs and cats, thus making them companions to humans. An
implication can be made that if horse slaughter is still counting in the US and has not stopped, then that can pave the way for dogs and cats in animal
shelters to be exported and slaughtered as well. In the US most Americans,

Comparison Of Slaughter And Lamb To The Slaughter

  • 1. Comparison Of Slaughter And Lamb To The Slaughter What happens when a pregnant woman kills her own husband? The short story titled "Lamb to the Slaughter" follows the story of the pregnant woman, Mary Maloney, and her husband Patrick. The story begins when Patrick decides to end his marriage. Out of anger and shock, Mary kills Patrick by hitting him on the back of the head with a leg of lamb. Instead of confessing to the murder, Mary Maloney lies about what she did and tricks the officers into eating the leg of lamb, effectively destroying any remaining evidence of the murder. The theme of "Lamb to the Slaughter" is deception. Both the original written work by Roald Dahl and the film adaptation use irony throughout the story to display this theme. Although both formats are presenting the same story and the same overarching theme, there are subtle differences between the film and the written version. The written piece by Dahl is presented in chronological order, while the film version uses Mary's flashbacks to tell the story. In addition to this difference, Mary is depicted as a more selfless person in the film, and her motives for killing Patrick are less clear to a reader in the written version. When comparing the written version and the film adaptation of "Lamb to the Slaughter," it can be seen that the manner with which the plot is presented varies. In Dahl's written piece, the story is told in chronological order. On the other hand, the plot in the film is presented using flashbacks that Mary has while lying to the ...

  • 2. Methods Of Slaughter Laws that are in place to protect animals from cruelty is never enforced by hen farmers. According to Harper's "Humane Methods of Slaughter Act is somewhat of a mystery". Hen farms, like Knecht and Karcher, consist of 147,000 hens all placed in a confined barn. The hens get food from chain belts that move along a guided path. A dim purple light is used to keep the hens in a dark barn while they would loath around a floor filled with sawdust. However, it is not only laws placed for animals that have been evaded. There are many laws in place for farms that consist of audits and random surveys that have been evaded. Farmers supply the board with U.E.P. members and pay off auditors.

  • 3. The Slaughter Of Humans And Contemporary Animal Slaughter Hung upside down by their feet, their throats are slit to drain the blood. This is an image that appears in most every slaughterhouse across the globe. John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel, Let the Right One In, similarly portrays these scenes of slaughter with one difference: the victims of slaughter are humans not animals. Set in the suburbs of Stockholm, Lindqvist's novel tells of a young and severely bullied boy, Oskar, who befriends a centuries old child vampire named Eli. Because of her childlike body, Eli requires her older male companion, HГҐkan, to procure blood for her. As he hangs his victims by their feet and slits their throats to collect the blood, HГҐkan's process of obtaining human blood is clearly evocative of contemporary Western practices of animal slaughter. However, the difference between HГ Ґkan's slaughter of humans and contemporary animal slaughter is not merely the victims' species but is, more importantly, the space in which these acts occur. Despitemeat consumption's widespread acceptance, meat production by means of slaughter is still visually disturbing and thus, in order to be socially tolerable, must not be seen. Indeed, since the 19th century, the slaughterhouse has been spatially located at the edges of urban space in order to render its violent actions socially invisible. What happens, then, when the slaughter occurs within the urban space as HГҐkan's acts of slaughter do? By comparing animal slaughter to the novel's scenes of human slaughter in terms ...

  • 4. Persuasive Essay On Horse Slaughter When you think of horses, you might think of them as one of the symbols of the United States. You might think of a founding father riding into the sunset on his faithful mount. According to an article written by Brandon Gaille, 80% of American voters are against horse slaughter. But, I want you to consider what would happen if the US allowed horse slaughter back into its borders again. Could you imagine walking into a steakhouse and ordering a horse steak? American horses are being sent into other countries to be inhumanely slaughtered for their meat, and the US is not reaping any benefits from this process. Today, I invite you to listen about whyhorse slaughter is needed in the US, what causes the need for humane horse slaughter, and why horse slaughter is the solution to this problem. According to an article written by Brandon Gaille, approximately 144,000 horses were sent to Mexico or Canada to be inhumanely slaughtered in 2013. That's an extreme amount of America's horses being sent across the border to be inhumanely slaughtered. Horses being sent across the border often suffer during the trailer ride. These slaughter trailers are very dangerous in the fact that they are crammed full of sick horses, and there is often no food or water for long periods of time. If the US brought slaughter back, the animals would be humanely slaughtered and would not have to be transported inhumanely for long distances.According to The Horse Slaughter Conundrum, 44% of these horses are ...

  • 5. Should The Plant Own Fleet Or Hire Trucks From A Third... – The main issue to be addressed has been fleet routing and scheduling. Should the plant own fleet or hire trucks from a third party logistics firm to deliver the inventory to it facility? – The facilities shipping pattern must also be analyzed and weighted against information on trucking costs in order to decide which method is more beneficial to the facility. – The number of hogs that should be penned prior to the commencement of slaughtering since we have to take into consideration the number of pens in the plant, the number of hours to pen hogs prior to slaughtering. – How are we going to manage the plant number of pens to match up with the daily inventory so that the plant will run at full capacity? To do this, we must determine the number of hogs that should be penned prior to the start of slaughtering so that they wont be any overlap and the plant will run at full capacity. Environmental and Root Cause All the 2.5 million hogs that are usually slaughtered annually at the Brandon plant are trucked into Brandon from all over Manitoba and certain parts of Saskatchewan via trucks. The closest farms are approximately half hour away, and the farthest away are 3.5 hours away from the plant. Combined with loading and unloading, it will take between 1.5 and 4.5 hours to collect, transport, and unload the hogs into holding pens awaiting slaughter. All the farms are of different sizes (measured in production and shipments) From the case study, one can see ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Essay on Benefits of Horse Slaughter Industry The horse is a highly respected animal in United States culture. It has been worshipped and paid tribute to through art, books (Misty of Chincoteague, Black Stallion), movies (Black Beauty, Spirit), and television shows (Mr. Ed). The horse industry is huge in the United States, encompassing everything from rodeos and racing to horses owned for purely pleasure. There have been statues erected of famous racehorses, as well as museums devoted entirely to equines. "Horse culture" is a huge part of American culture. The slaughter of horses for human consumption does not seem to fit into that culture. However, despite initial reservations, many Americans may agree that the slaughter of horses is better than alternatives.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Animal rights activists, as well as locals in the communities are trying to prevent both factories from operating (Scripps Howard News Service, 3/8/01). Recently, the Texas Humane Legislation Network has been leading the attack on the multimillion dollar companies, citing a law from 1949 that "prohibits possession, sale or shipment of horse meat [intended] for human consumption" (St. Petersburg Times, 9/4/02). Both companies have filed lawsuits in retaliation. They state that the slaughter of horses eases financial strain, feeds other nations, and is accomplished in a humane manner. There are millions of horses in the United States; many of the horses are virtually worthless due to poor training/treatment, bad attitudes, poor confirmation, lameness, sickness, and also simply being old. Slaughter companies provide an affordable way for horse owners to dispose of their unwanted animals. "'What do you do with the animal when it is diseased, or old, or lame?" said Geert DeWulf, general manager of Dallas Crown... `We provide an outlet'" (Scripps Howard News Service, 3/8/01). The benefits are not only felt by horse owners in short supply of money; recently in Europe, the supply of meat from traditional sources, such as cattle, sheep and pigs has dwindled due to epidemics in the herds, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy or "mad cow" disease, as well as hoof and mouth disease. ...

When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals' heads, their naked bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Dogs are being beaten very brutally and their fur is taken off while they're still conscious. Workers leave the bodies ofthe animals that is still alive on other animals.

  • 8. Why Women Still CanT Have It All By Anne-Marie Slaughter In the article "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," Anne–Marie Slaughter explains why women can't manage both the difficulties of a high–end job while doing the best they can as a parent. Slaughter is a very successful women who had worked for Hillary Clinton at the state department being the first woman policy planner. She begins the essay by explaining a conversation that came up between herself and a colleague who held a senior position in the White House. She tells her colleague that is has been very difficult for her to be away from her son at work, when he needs her at home. At this point Slaughter comes up with the idea to write an article about these struggles she and many women are dealing with. Throughout this meeting Slaughter...

This reason could eventually lead to women either being stressed because they don't have enough time to fulfill their needs at work and home, and also could eventually lead to a decision against having children altogether. Slaughter also includes examples of some very successful women that have struggled to raise a family due to the fact that they are so limited with time, while most successful men, if not all, are still able to balance the time of have a family and a high–end job. It's easy to understand how this can be a very difficult problem for most women to get around. Even if they find a very successful job, it's much more challenging for them to be a good mom while also doing their overall best in their profession. I thought Slaughter shared a very interesting quote halfway through her article to help sum up her thoughts from Mary Matalin, (a lady who resigned after only two years in order to spend more time with her children.) Matalin says, "having control of your schedule is the only way that women who want a career and a family can make it work." "Quote from The Atlantic." In the article "Why Men Still Can't Have It All," by Richard Dorment, a senior writer and editor in esquire magazine, Dorment responds to Slaughter's article by claiming men face the same problem as women do. He claims that recent times have made it much more difficult for men to balance work and family life. He ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. The Ban On Horse Processing Should No Longer Stand In the year of 2007, congress, after relentless pressure from animal rights activists, enacted a ban on the United States horse slaughter industry. This left ranchers, farmers, and horses to face the consequences. While lobbyists meant to help the horses of America, they have negatively impacted these animals in many ways. The ban on horse processing should no longer stand because of what has become of the horse industry, and the life of American horses. It has led to more animal abuse than previously existed, negatively affected the horse industry and economy, and let the American equine population grow to nearly unmanageable heights. People say that Horses built America, and that is true. Because of their major contribution to the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As an immediate effect of the closure of American harvesting facilities, people began to ship horses to Mexico and Canada. In these countries, there are no laws governing the humane killing of animals. In these countries, horses have very little chance of dying painlessly. According to a report to Congress by the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) the number of horses exported from the United States and then slaughtered increased from 33,000 in 2006 prior to the ban, to 138,000 in 2010, three years after the ban. (GAO, 12) In addition to the heartless killing tactics they now face, horses intended for slaughter now face extended transportation distances, which can prove hazardous. The ban of horse slaughter in the United States did not help these animals. Further problems that have arisen in relation to horse abuse include abandonment and neglect. Owners seeking to rid themselves of these costly animals, generally due to financial situations, have an increased difficulty in finding a place for their horses to go. This leads to abandonment or neglect. Horse owners who no longer want their horses, or cannot afford them anymore, face fewer options in getting unwanted horses off of their hands. Many owners turn to abandoning their horses, which constitutes animal abuse. They have a hard time finding other ways to rid themselves of an unwanted horse, apparently hard enough that ...

  • 10. Horse Slaughter Horse Slaughter The topic of horse slaughter doesn't usually come up very often in everyday conversation. Horse slaughter is more of an implicit subject, which your everyday person doesn't know much about. Because it is highly controversial, it has gone through the cycle of being banded and then reinstated twice in the last 5 years. With being involved in the horse industry my entire life, I have witnessed the effects first hand. Some people see it as killing pets, animal cruelty, and morally wrong. However, I see it as a source of income, a way to stop the starvation and abuse of horses, an export industry for the United States, as well as a quality meal for in times of despair. The history of people eating horse meat dates back to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... During the 1930's low supply and high cost of pork and beef made horse meat rise in popularity. Again during World War II, people were again in the same predicament. Inflation during the early 1970's raised the cost of traditional meats; Time Magazine reported from Carlson's, a butcher shop in Westbrook, CT, that they were selling over 6,000 pounds of horse meat a day. (Weil) In 2006, the House of Representatives voted to endhorse slaughter ; the bill passed to make the killing and selling American horses for human consumption an illegal practice in the United States. Today in the US, people do not consume horse meat on a whole sale basis. But because many other counties do, the exporting of horse meat is a huge industry. When the ban was in place, US horses were being transported to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered instead. From 2006 to 2010 the increase in horses being exported to Canada and Mexico was 148 and 660 percent. They are loaded up on trailers and shipped across the boarders, often times going days without food or water until they reach their destination. The regulations, or lack thereof, are different than in the US. (Shesgreen) Valley Meat Co. owner Rick De Los Santos brings up valid points in his interview with NBC News last week. The majority of people, who are against slaughter, are getting caught up on the "ick" factor of killing our "pets". However, the process is the exact same for cows and pigs. ...

  • 11. The Documentary, Earthlings, Written And Produced By Shaun... In the documentary, Earthlings, written and produced by Shaun Monson, we get a rude awakening concerning the day–to–day practices of the large industries treatment of animals. This paper will include an explanation behind the argument implied by the writer and defense against the argument being made. For a majority of humans, if we see someone else getting hurt, especially if it is someone we know, it hurts us. We have the ability to understand and share the feelings of one another. This is called empathy (Oxford Dictionary). In the beginning of the documentary, clips recorded from the time of The Holocaust are shown. This is to make us aware of issues faced in the past where some humans were not seen as equal as others. Even though it is obvious that all humans generally experience the same emotions, the emotions within these humans did not matter. Therefore empathy in these times was not shared amongst one another. They use this as a comparison because it is similar to how we are with animals today. The dialogue in this documentary does not state exactly what the argument is, so one must assume. The first assumed premise is, human are animals. Humans do not normally fit the prototype of an animal like a cat or dog, but we are still animals. The second premise is that humans empathize with other humans. When we see someone crying, we mirror their emotions, and we feel the need to cry as well. Together, these two premises create the conclusion that humans should empathize ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 12. Horse Meat Is A Great Substitute For Popular Meats Pros With increasing obesity rates across the globe, the demand for health–conscious foods is higher than ever. Horse meat is a great substitute for popular meats that are socially accepted today. Horse meat is characterized as a red meat like beef, pork, sheep, and goat. While horse meat is like beef in appearance, it has more protein and vitamins, and a less fat percentage. Horse meat is also calorically lower than beef, veal, pork, lamb, and sheep, making it ideal for the rising concern in the United States about a healthy food supply (Stanciu, 2015). If eventually socially acceptable, horse meat could be the next big fad on the markets. While horse slaughter was deemed illegal in the United States in 2006, it still happens in the ...

Brazil economically capitalized on the export market by shipping over two thousand tons of horse meat to its most extensive market, the European Union, in 2011 alone. The total value of Brazil's horse meat export that year was equivalent to almost seven–million dollars. With a struggling economy in Brazil, the value of horse meat exports provided the necessary boost. In 2012, Brazil's total horse count added up to almost five hundred and fifty million horses ("Horsemeat production in South America," 2014). With a plethora of available horses, one can see that even though horse slaughter is implemented in Brazil, the total horse population is hardly affected as horses are still widespread throughout the country. Another troubling aspect is the environmental problems that could come about due to improper carcass disposal of dead horses. The halt of horse slaughter in the United States has caused the sudden need to dispose of millions of bodies of horses which is bound to create a plethora of environmental problems such as soil contamination ("Horse slaughter bill making waves," 2004). Horse slaughter provided owners with old or injured horses the ability to rid of them for an eventual product.

  • 13. Lamb To The Slaughter "Lamb to the Slaughter", by Roald Dahl, tells about Mary and Patrick Maloney. The story takes place in the Maloney household during the 1950s. As Patrick returns home from his job as a police officer, Mary is ready to prepare dinner for herself and Patrick. Beforehand, Patrick explains he needs to talk to her imperatively. He confesses that he is in love with another woman and is divorcing Mary for her. Mary, expecting her first child with him, is extremely disheartened by this news. Nonetheless, she continues to make dinner for herself and Patrick. When Mary is preparing a frozen leg of lamb for dinner, he tells her that he is leaving and does not want dinner. Mary, extremely upset by this matter, walks over to him with the leg and impulsively hits him with it! Mary, shocked by what she had just did, suddenly worries about if her husband is still alive. After Mary checks and confirms that Patrick is dead, she calls and cancels her dinner friends with her friend Molly and formulates a plan about how to cover up the murder. She decides to go out to the store and buy vegetables, and come back and act shocked that he is dead, and claim that there must have been an intruder to the police. She elaborates on these details further as they interview her. Upon investigation of Patrick's body, the police rule... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The police eat the lamb happily, while Mary observes as she was not hungry. As she watches, she can't avoid giggling, as she has not been framed for the murder and did not have to divorce Patrick.

Lastly, the constraints included the language used to deliver the point to the audience was simple and easily understood by the audience, the word limit of the New York Times newspaper and that the article should not be attacking or hurting the sentiments of the audience.

Slaughter used a couple of important key terms such as "bad work culture" which means, as slaughter defined it, the culture that depends on overwork and not providing room for care–giving and equal right between men and women. Another key term is "Equal right to care" which means that both men and women should be responsible for providing care for the family rather than just the women, and both should be provided the means to do so in the work environment. The text is well organized and the rhetorical pattern used throughout the entire article is persuasive. However, she has used various other rhetorical patterns, such as narrative, "For many Americans, life has become all competition all the time...anxiety attacks and exhaustion" (Slaughter, 2015, para. 1) and "A young lawyer I know from Virginia was offered a general counsel position, which she determined she could take but only if she could work from home one day a week to be with her children" (Slaughter, 2015, para. 5).Cause and effect is another type of the rhetorical patterns she used "...but this model of winning at all costs reinforces a distinctive American of not making ...

I will never understand how someone can sit and actually enjoy a meal consisting of horse meat knowing how that horse came to be served for dinner. It's a cruel and heartbreaking process that starts from the moment the poor horse is loaded on a transport trailer.

With many organizations out there against animal agriculture such as the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) there has been a constant push to find the most humane act of livestock harvest as possible while still maintaining excellent meat quality. Currently, there are four acceptable methods: chemical (Carbon Dioxide – CO2), mechanical (captive bolt), mechanical (gunshot), and electrical (electrical current). Currently, all four methods are approved for the slaughter of swine. None, however, are ideal and all have advantages and disadvantages in pork quality effects which leaves it up for discussion of which is the best system to use. According to the Humane Methods of Livestock Slaughter Act of 1978, no method of slaughtering or handling in connection with slaughtering shall be deemed to comply with the public policy of the United States unless it is humane. Either of the following two methods of slaughtering and handling are hereby found to be humane: (a) in the case of cattle, calves, horses, mules, sheep, swine, and other livestock, all animals are rendered insensible to pain by a single blow or gunshot or an electrical, chemical or other means that is rapid and effective, before being shackled, hoisted, thrown, cast, or cut; or (b) by slaughtering in accordance with the ritual requirements of the Jewish ...

During class, some of us reached an agreement that massive slaughter of animals raised for meat is unethical and should be condemned, while eating meat from animals that have peacefully passed away seems acceptable. In both situations the animal is dead, so I start to wonder what really differentiates these two cases. Does dying painlessly really matter? In this paper, I would like to explore death and humanity in killing animals by investigating a fundamental question: for animals, what's the difference between painful dying in the slaughter houses and being killed in nature by predators? Compared to killing in slaughter houses, hunting and being hunted are common in nature. For instance, prairie dogs, who depend on the white–tailed jackrabbit as a food source, bloodily kill hundreds of rabbits everyday. However, for those poor rabbits dying miserably and painfully, we never question the ethics, nor do we try to stop prairie dogs from killing them; instead, we call it natural selection.

The USDA recently released photos of horses with broken bones protruding from their bodies, eyeballs hanging by a thread of skin, and open wounds, all taken at former U.S horse slaughter plants.

  • 20. Resentment towards God in the Religous Poem, Tenebrae In "Tenebrae," Paul Celan channels his resentment towards God through a methodical use of literary techniques. Celan utilizes several motifs to express his bitterness throughout the religious poem that allow his emotions to be portrayed in an understandable manner. One may identify death and a sense of closeness as the major motifs along with drinking and prayer as minor motifs Celan used to portray his dark emotions. With the use of effective motifs, the key element of role reversal, and an angered tone, Celan gets his warning to God. The poem is spoken through humans towards God, with an evident theme of death that is demonstrated throughout the poem. Death is shown through the sense of slaughter; it is brought up in the beginning of the poem with the use of words "claw," and "clawed." It is a possibility that these words are the author's way of referencing the slaughter. In ritual slaughter animals were killed not by blunt force, but by something sharp. Knifes or perhaps claws were used to cut the animal open such that blood flowed freely out the animal1.Celan keeps up the motif of death with the following verses. "Askew we went there," (10) "went there to bend" (11) "down to the trough, to the crater." (12) "To be watered we went there, Lord." (13) Celan alludes to animals with the metaphor in lines 11 and 12 with the word "trough". One may agree with this idea considering the fact that cattle feed, and drink out of troughs.

  • 22. Comparison Of Torture In Frankenstein And Cycle Of The... The concept of "torture" was implemented throughout both of the novels of Frankenstein and Stephen Kings: Cycle of the Werewolf. The word torture means the activity with regards to cause extreme agony on somebody to constrain them to do or say something, or for the joy of the individual dispensing the torment. In Frankenstein, Victor created his own torment by giving life to a monster whose sole purpose was to torture him for the rest of his life because Victor abandoned him and also destroyed the re–creation of his companion. As in Cycle of the Werewolf, it was a continuous nightmare where a werewolf comes to Tarker's Mills every full moon to terrorize the citizens by slaughtering them. Both of these novels convey the theme of torture all throughout the plot by the actions of the murderous character. Starting off in Frankenstein the overall torture that the monster brings to Victor is that the monster kept killing off all of Victor's doted ones. Additionally, in the resolution of the plot, all of the agony caused by the monster caused Victor to die in his attempt to seek revenge on the monster by chasing him down. An example of one of the monster's victim in the book is where Victor reads out the letter from his father, "I wish to prepare you for the woeful news, but I know it is impossible; even now your eye skims over the page, to seek the words which are to convey to you the horrible tidings.

One can slaughter a cow or a pig without anyone saying anything. Euthanizing a horse can be extremely expensive, a vet has to come administrate the medicine and then one has to dispose of the body because it is against the law to have a dead horse carcass lying around your farm.

  • 25. Balzac And The Little Chinese Seamstress Analysis In the passage chosen from Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Siji, the villagers are confronted with the death of a buffalo. This "accidental' death reveals the double–sided nature of the village, which spotlights their furtiveness, spiritual morals and their thirst for acceptance in their new re–educated world. In this passage, the death of working buffalo highlighted the double–sided nature of the village. For example, on page 94, the narrator heard a rumor that the headman was in on allowing a "slaughter of a buffalo". Slaughtering a working buffalo is illegal in the village, but the headman is somehow bribed to let it happen. Violent diction is used within the first quote to describe how someone used physical force to take the buffalo's life.When a death is considered violent, it usually strings from a murder, making the death not an accident. The author also uses selection of detail when describing taking the buffalos life. For instance, "There was some confusion about which buffalo would be killed and in what manner because it was against the law to slaughter working animals that were used in the field." By using the words "killed" and "slaughtered" in the same sentence, the quote portrays the confliction of slaughtering or killing the buffalo as if "killing" it would be more humane.

  • 29. The Slaughter of Horses Slaughtering horses for human consumption in the United States started in the early 1970's. Americans do not eat horsemeat; we consider horses to be favored animals, just like dogs and cats. The idea of eating a horse, a cat, or a dog just goes against our very culture. It was foreign interests that brought the horse slaughter industry to the United States and built equine slaughterhouses here. By the 1990's, there were at least sixteen equine slaughterhouses operating all across the United States. At that time, most Americans did not even realize that such an industry even existed in their country. Over the years, the industry grew larger and people began to use slaughter as an opportune way to get rid of their undesired horses. Rather than take responsibility for their horses by either taking the time to place them in a horse sanctuary or by paying a licensed veterinarian put them down humanely, owners would ship them to a slaughter house and get paid for doing so. In today's United States there is a debate ensuing on whether to lift the ban on equine slaughter which was enacted in 2007. There are practical as well as commercial arguments that can be made in favor of horse slaughter, and there are ethical and environmental reasons to oppose it.
