My Speech

Why animals deserve better care


Do you think animals deserve the same care as humans? Animals are living
creatures and provide us with most of our food but they are treated terribly and
this is shown in many ways throughout the world, such as caged chicken farming
and the fact that nine billion chickens are killed for meat in the Usa each year. Hi
I’m Rata and this is why animals deserve better care.


Caged animal farming


Caged animal farming is a horrible thing, it forces animals out of their preferred
habitat and causes animals great stress. Take caged chicken farming for an
example, when chickens are farmed for eggs the chickens, which are normally
social creatures get so stressed they peck each other's eyes out. And when
chickens are farmed for their meat they are fed so much that their legs can’t
support their body weight and are killed after five weeks and eggs chickens die
after one and a half years! The normal lifespan of a free range or pet chicken is
seven to eight years.


Industrial and free range farming


Free range farming is generally nicer to animals than caged farming and allows
animals to have more freedom. For chickens free range farming allows them to
communicate and establish a social order which is good for them as chickens are
social creatures. In industrial farming cows are forced into milking machines after
their children have been stolen from them.

How animals lived before humans found them

Before humans found animals that are now farmed they had evolved in ways that
humans would find useful to help them. Take chickens as an example, they
originally lived in jungles in Asia where once every few decades a type of plant
made a bunch of fruit so chickens evolved to make lots of children when there was
lots of food. Humans exploited this by taking chickens and giving them lots of food
so they could take their eggs. 


How animal care can get better


Animal care can be improved in many ways such as banning caged farming
because it's cruel and would you like to be looked up in a cage with people who
are so stressed they try to bite your eyes? And creating more free range farms so
animals are less stressed and can communicate probably with each other.

In conclusion animals deserve better rights and deserve to be treated far better
than they are currently by removing things that make them stressed and giving
them more living space.
