Critically evaluate the mechanisms that are enforced to regulate inhumane farming methods, or the question can be “Suggest strategies that could be considered to minimize the effects of inhumane farming methods”.

Inhumane farming methods Examples

Inhumane farming methods are ways of farming that are cruel to animals. An example is battery or factory farming. This type of farming is the artificial, inhumane practice of packing too many animals, such as pigs and chickens, into small, closed spaces. These animals:

• never see sunlight
• never get fresh air
• move a little bit
• live in discomfort and frustration every day.

These animals are also unhealthy to eat. The reason that they are unhealthy is that they are often diseased and injected with antibiotics and growth hormones.

The mechanisms that are enforced to regulate inhumane farming methods

• Stop consuming factory reared products.
• Using genetic engineering where embryo is formed with the help of stem cells.
• Factory rearing of animals should be banned by government as it is harmful for environment.
