  2. The Humane Slaughter Act, is a United States federal law designed to protect food animals during the moment of their slaughter. According to the law, animals should be stunned into unconsciousness prior to their slaughter to ensure a quick, relatively painless death. The most common methods are electrocution and C02 stunning for swine and captive bolt stunning for cattle, sheep, and goats. LIVESTOCK • Livestock is the term used to refer to a domesticated animal intentionally reared in an agricultural setting to produce things such as food or fibre, or for its labor. Livestock may be raised for subsistence or for profit. Raising animals is an important component of modern agriculture. It has been practiced in many societies, since the transition to farming from hunter-gather lifestyles. HUMANE SLAUGHTER

  5. Livestock factories • Health impacts of livestock factories? • livestock factories produce and store large quantities of animal waste in leak-prone lagoons so, water is at risk. • Manure spills, fish kills and poisoned water supplies have become a fact of life for too many rural communities. Unhealthy tap water has sickened people across the Midwest and Southeast. • Livestock factories also pose a threat to our air quality. Economic impacts of livestock factories? • The huge corporations that run the livestock factories are edging out family farmers, who often use more environmentally friendly techniques. • Homeowners can be hit just as hard as businessmen. Owning a home might be the American dream, but a hog operation in the backyard is a nightmare for property values. • Environmental impacts of livestock factories? • Fish and wildlife also suffer from manure spills. • manure from giant chicken factories, polluted the waters, killing thousands of fish and sickened more than a dozen people. The Mississippi River bears the brunt of the pollution from Midwest livestock operations, and the pollutants that flow down the river to the Gulf of Mexico has contributed to a dead zone the size of New Jersey.
