week 12

I think that Temple Grandin is practical. at She sees the reality of how animals will be slaughtered before being eaten. Within our society, we thrive on killing what we want to eat, we unconsciously see that eating dead animals is a taboo and something that we don't see as healthy. We do see and believe that killing live animals for food is the healthy and "right' way of eating. Also that the real issue is that we aren't taking care of the animals that we "plan to eat" which is why she is advocating that we need to take care of that issue. We need to give them the space that they need to roam around the grass, we need to feed them the correct foods, like grass for cows, and so forth. I'm not so sure if these are some of the tops that she advocates but as far as I know she does advocate for the better and ethical treatment of animals within slaughter houses and places where the animals are kept before being taken to get slaughtered.

I don't see why she's so highly ridiculed because what she is doing makes sense. We want to eat meat, we as a society want to have healthy meats. Back then, as a society and even now, people still hunt wild animals for food, and people are always saying that animals within the wild taste better. My assumption is because they are within their natural habitats and are able to roam and climb and be active. Just like humans, animals need to be active to be healthy, and so when there's that lack the meat and the nutrients probably and most likely aren't as good for our own bodies. So, the way I see it, what she advocates for is the movement. It should be the right way we live, giving animals that ethical treatment, esp. if we're keeping them captive it's the least we can do before we slaughter them.
