consume ninety-five percent of meat that comes from farm animals. If people didn't have the animals we would either be vegetarians or people would die. The stress the cows endure when being raised for slaughter are branding, dehorning, castration, and the cows could still be alive during slaughter.

Cows, chickens, pigs, lambs, fish, crickets. “Crickets!” You might ask, “What do all of these animals have to do with each other?” The answer is, they are all food. “Food? How can cricket's be food?” The idea or thought of eating insects (entomophagy) might sound surprising to you now but you should start getting used to hearing about it. Mark Twain, a famous American author and humorist, once said, “The secret to success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.” But
increasing in Pakistan due to high population growth (Hussian, Ghafoor & Saboor, 2010). Dairy cattle are the main source for producing the milk in the Pakistan. This source produces 62% of milk by buffaloes and 34% of milk by cows (Zia et al., 2011). The annual milk production from cows increased 7.46 to 9.40 million tonnes and milk production from buffaloes increased 14.96 to 21.33 million tonnes during 1996-2006 (Zia et al., 2011). Globally, Pakistan is the 2nd largest buffalo milk producing country (Hussian
Animals can be hauled by boats, trailers, and even airplanes. 309 cows were once aboard the Boeing 747, when the cows started producing too much heat and caused the fire alarms to be set off.

Task 1 Can polar bears and people coexist? Polar bears are the largest land predator on earth today. They live in the Arctic area, surrounded by the northern nations like Norway, Greenland and Canada. The effects of global warming have caused the temperatures to rise, which have led the Arctic ice to melt. Because the polar bears’ territory is shrinking, they are forced to hunt further inland. They usually hunt on the sea ice, but they cannot do that now. A polar bear can starve for months, but
What if I would say that beef ribs and chicken hams on your plate cause environmental problems such as deforestation, pollution of the oceans, rivers, seas and air, climate change?

There are numerous elements to the enhanced greenhouse effect. The causes are divided into two categories, the addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and the reduction of carbon sinks. Both of these are caused by human over-consumption, such as combustion of fossil fuels, and mass farming. The greenhouse gases cause global warming and this can have many disastrous effects to the climate and natural life cycles. Global warming is a much debated issue. Many scientists believe it to be a caused
There are two kinds of alpacas – the Huacaya and the Suri. Huacaya are far the most frequent, representing 90 % of the Peruvian herd and undoubtedly the most in North America. Huacaya fur generates from the alpaca’s body is described by the crimp and loft. The Suri has fur that drapes from their body in pencil-sized ringlets. Although lacking in the crimp of the Huacaya fiber, Suri fiber’s smoother fiber shaft gives the fiber a more lustrous look and a smoother handle. “The alpaca is a member of
