  1. The A.R.K.The Animal Rights Knights By: Ashley D., Ileia M., Ara K., Samantha M., Michael W., Nicholas B., and Marina C.

  2. We are the A.R.K. (Animal Rights Knights) • Our mission is to fight against injustice towards animals in American farming. • We support finding alternatives to the current abusive practices of farming in order to eliminate or lessen animal cruelty.

  3. The Foul Affair of Factory Farming You don’t have to be a vegetarian or a vegan to know that this is wrong.

  4. Industrial/Factory Farming • Industrial or factory farming is large scale farming done for the mass production of animal products such as Pork, dairy, red meat, and poultry. • This is the epitome of farming in America

  5. Pork • Sows, are constantly impregnated • Pregnant sows are kept in small confined cells, around two feet wide • Piglets are stuffed into crowded pins • Pins littered with corpses and waste • Runts are disposed of inhumanely

  6. Poultry • Crammed cages • Beaks are cut off • Genetically altered for faster bigger growth. • Egg hens spend their entire lives laying eggs • When they can no longer lay any more they are sent to slaughter. • Many birds die during transportation • Ineffective stunning and inaccurate slaughter machines.

  7. Beef, Dairy, and Veal • Cattle are poorly maintained • Dairy cattle are constantly impregnated • Utter infections • Calves are taken away at birth to become veal • Hormone injections lead to health problems • Cattle have their throats cut open while they are alive

  8. Other Problems With Factory Farming • Animal abuse is not the only problem associated with broken system that is Factory Farming. • Human Health • Environmental Health • Economy

  9. Human Health • Quantity over quality of product • Increased risk of infected product • Large masses of consumers can be harmed • Risk to workers

  10. Economy • Factory farms monopolize agriculture • Low paying high risk jobs • Factory farms do little to support their local economies

  11. Environmental Health • High emission of carbon dioxide and methane gas • Large amounts of hazardous waste

  12. The Solution • The solution to solving animal abuse in American farming is to put an end to factory/industrial farming. • Holistic Farming is a more natural approach to agriculture where farmers consider animal welfare in the feeding and raising of their animals. • Education for The Nation • HAM Fair

  15. Education for the Nation • Informing people about the cruelty of Factory Farms will inspire them to take action. • People will be more likely to take action once they are well informed on how to do so. • This will appeal to more people than most anti-animal cruelty programs.
