Javed but hey see Gregory for more information

STRENGTHEN AND ENFORCE EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS (324): Government fails once again to do its job.
-          Companies now self-regulate themselves
-          There are also no routine inspections. This leads to terrible working environment for workers. Mainly because, a company needs constant and routine inspections for them to maintain safer working environments and treat workers accordingly. Routine checkups
-           Keep companies aware that they are being monitored and need to maintain a certain standard at the workplace.
-         Government is not providing enough money to the right people, and towards the right places to enforce existing laws that protect both the environment and human health.


WAYS IN WHICH THE LAWS CAN BE STRENGHTEN & REINFORCED 3(25).
-          MORATORIUMS ON FACTORY FARMS( limiting harmful activities that take place)
-          A proper air pollution approach to ensure that the air that we breathe is not contaminated.
-          Of course treating sewage problems which can cause major land air and water pollution to the environment, destroying the homes of millions of animals, while sickening people.
-          Allocating funding to the right people for more appropriate reason.
-          Clean water- everyone needs clean water, diseases can be spread rapidly through water, and the home and lives of much sea life can be destroyed.
-          Regulating greenhouse gases causing. PUTTING A STOP TO THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF the harmful gases that penetrate our planet.

Javed & Gregory's findings!

THE VEGGIE LIBEL LAWS(320): The freedom of speech is diminished and food companies have the “right” to sue other companies and other individuals within the thirteen states(Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, North& South Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.) due to the law that allows persons within these states to file lawsuits and sue others.  For example in a 1996 episode of Oprah’s talk show, she said “It has just stopped me cold from eating another burger” (Tomaselli, Niles 320). Stating her opinion on her talk show due to the way she felt she was hit with a lawsuit from a company.  Therefore, companies have more power over society than the government over its own people.

ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION(322): Establishing a controlled ecological environment, while trying to manage air pollution levels and maintain and reduce the pollution within society due to the CAFO& factory farm system. Agriculture has become one of the main contributors to the climate change and creation of greenhouse gases. The result of the waste being produced by the animals, society is at stake.


CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO PASSAGES: Although the Factory Farming system is polluting the people along with the environment, the people have no right to protect themselves against the monstrosity. The government neither feels it mandatory to protect its people while completely ignoring the bill of rights.

Javeds NEW& IMPROVED citation & annotation!

''You really feel like a failure,'' says Charles Boehmke, 44, who is clinging to his Minnesota farm after losing his animals and machinery because he could not repay a $136,000 loan. One of his neighbors, David Honsey, 40, filed for bankruptcy and said it made him feel like going into the barn and ''doing something you shouldn't do there.'' He has since rejected thoughts of suicide, deciding ''there is a higher power than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. But I think they'll find a few farmers in the barn rafters before this is over." (Boyce, Jackson, Magnuson and Winbush 32).

"Many farmers admit that they plunged too heavily into debt in the heyday of the 1970s, planting their fields from fence post to fence post. But they argue that that was precisely what federal bureaucrats and local bankers urged them to do." (Boyce, Jackson, Magnuson and Winbush 32).

Boyce, Joseph N. Jackson, David S. Magnuson, Ed. Winbush, Don. “Cover stories clinging to the land: hard-pressed farmers face a crisis of mounting debts and dropping prices.” Time 125.7 (2/18/85):32. Magazine

My source basically states that due to the huge debts farmers are confronted with, suicide becomes their only option. Also, this source also reveals that farmers are advised by authorized persons on how to run their businesses, and in the end the same authorized persons take away their business. This supports my perspective on how the CAFO system is non-beneficial to biosphere.

Something I did in High School! tell me what you think

Alabaster Ferreros
        Final thought"
               -Javed Najhafeez
    "Hey babe, i'm about to get on the train, i'll see you in a few...okay bye, love you" I said to my wife as i hung up the phone to run for my train. It was around eight on that tuesday night and the skies were a rusty colour brown shade. I swiped my metro card swiftly as I stood at the middle of the platform. Fanning myself with the file I brought home from work, to work on, I began to look left for the "F", that was nowhere in sight. Walk it I thought, but it was a bit too far. I began to debate with myself, as my thoughts became interrupted by two boys, who looked like teenagers maybe seventeen, maybe eighteen, skipping the turnstiles and giving me a threatnig look.
    Trying desperatly to occupiy my time, I began to play with the coins in my pocket. My palms were beginning to become sweaty so i took them out and began to bite  my nails nervously, as  İ glanced to look for the train. Soon, my attention was diverted as i saw two dark shadows approaching me. Putting up a defence, any type of defence at all, I quickly push my hands in my pockets and pretended so much to be cool. The fully detailed identities of the two objects began to move themselves as they were about three to five footsteps away from where İ was standing.
    "Mister, you got the time?" the short boy said as he looked at the other boy smiling. "8:37" I said raising my eyebrows and turning away, just hoping they would leave quietly.
    In a matter of seconds, I felt a hand around my neck and one digging in to my right side pants pocket. " Shuttup old man. You better not scream" the tall boy commanded silently as he held a jagged nife blade against my throat. As the short boy dug into my pocket in a rough manner, pushing me against the zinc the boys began to question me with the knife: " where is your wallet, take it out, give me the money and take your watch off as well and matter of fact give me your phone too". Moving the knife  and pressing it with force, against my rib cage.
    As the short boy went to pick my back pocket this time, my savior came after thirty  minutes. As I looked to my left i saw in the distance coming around the curve  a green circle, coming towards me, with full force and a harh racket that always hurt my ear drums. However, not this time, this time i welcomed the sound. I realized that this was my only way out, this was my oppertunity to break free and i had to make use of every second of this oppertunity. I knew if I didn't I would have a little to no chance of survival.
    I tried to stall them as much as possible, pretending to go for my wallet slowly. My chance of escaping was so close I could literlly tasted it. The train screeched to a halt as the passengers flocked the platform like ants around sugar. I acted quickly, i had no choice. I kicked the short one along the platform and  body slammed the tall boy as he fell to the floor. I looked left nor right, I just aimed for the wooden door with the vandalized glass. Knocking it open and bumrushing my way through the passengers  all the way to the bottom of the stircase. I ran without a care in the world. I completely disreguarded the fact that all my papers had been scatterd all over the platform. The only thing on my mind, was the boys actually picking up the papers and finding out information about my job, matter of fact finding out where i worked. After running a block or two from the train station i stopped for a quick break.
    " Old man, we will get you, we're coming" i heard them yell from the top of the hill. I waited no longer, to lessen my chances of being robbed, or even worst being killed, I ran into Kwindalandaroo boulevard, I ran for about twelve blocks along the boulevard as I had began to jog. As i jogged my smiling grew much more intense. The further i ran the bigger my smiles would get. At one point in time my teeth felt frozen. I began to laugh so hard next to the people i jogged by, they began to look at me very strangely. I didn't care at all. I just kept running with the thought that I had lived, i had escaped death. I began to scream random things: yes, ohhh yeahhhhh!, I did it, yeahh baby whose your daddy nowww!!"
    I got tired of running, my ankles began to throb severely and my lungs felt as if they were about to explode. I'v been running for twenty minutes now: down the hill, along the boulevard, around three round abouts, over three small bridges , across the amtrack tracks and I was tired. At one point, i thought about giving up my never ending fight, but I kept on picturing my family and their huge smiles. Lidya, John and Kevin I was so close to them yet so far I didn't even realize. I ran for another five minutes until i realized that i was on my avenue. And i could have seen my blueberried coloured house from where I was. I called my wife right away " honey come outside, bring the boys too. I'm home sweetie, i'm home". As i approached my house I felt a pain in my rib cage and a pain in my throat and for some reason i had trouble breathing.
    As I was running to my house I notice that although I was running to my family and their happy faces, I was moving further and further away from them. As I noticed that, I also noticed blood on the sidewalk coming from me, MY BODY. As i felt a gutwrenching pain inside of me the blood also gushed from my throat. I could no longer see my family anymore, they had dissappeared.
    "You got the time old man?" said the short boy. "I'ts 8:37" I sad to the boy, right then he took the knife out of his pocket, asking me for money and his other friend the tall boy held me down.
    Within a few seconds, I felt a cold metal enter my chest and a few seconds later it dissapeared and so the same for my throat. Helplessly falling onto the floor, I watched my papers fly into oblivion, as the green light grew dimmer as it came closer.

KADESHIA , CHRIS & JAVEDS BLOG! because we've got this!

words are happiness and manipulation.  Everybody wants to be happy so the companies manipulate the truth of the words. Programmed in us for a young age for,  young age  things are impressionable. Easily intrigued. Ex McDonalds a happy child makes a happy mother. “

Benefit:  profit over punishment! Connection to worker

Workers prefer to do whatever it takes to make profit. If the coop makes profit they make profit- paycheck! Coops do whatever it takes to eliminate competition for profit.  Eating Animals – factory farming eliminates competition by eliminating its main resources. A company needs it resources and if they don’t have it companies would deteriorate.   Punishment is less than they would make without the fine: violations) make ten times more than fine no matter punishment. Customers would rather be happy and forget environment. Customers made to think that their happiness matters more than the environment.

Organized chaos; cafo looks organized but destroy everything around them; humans people who consume products. Basically they try to make and destroy it at the same time; (rapidly) can relate to holocaust, wars, and genocides and apocalypse for the animals and the environment.pg 12 Organized in a way that they are being FUELED by our own tax payer’s money without us even knowing. We are inadvertently destroying our environment, degrading people, materializing animals; making them seem disposable. In addition, we are advocating this with our own money.

A correlation between the increase of violence towards humans and the connection to cruelty towards animals.PG4

Javed Najhafeez

Pages 131 the first two paragraphs and page 135 the first three paragraphs.

The first page gives a untrue statement about a cow the age of 17. However in reality and modern day LIFE PRODUCTION of animals, no cow lives to see the age of 17, not even half the age, especially the DAIRY COWS. The main purpose of these cows are for the production of milk, and as a result suffer the worst when being killed. While the second portion of the reading connect to this by explaining the GENETIC MANIPULATION aspect of production. The reading explains some key terms that are very important. The connection between these two passages is that the constant feeding of GENETICALLY MANIULATED foods to the animals being grown at these factories causes the life of an animal to be manipulated and altered aswell. Cows are no longer HEALTHY, in any way because they are constantly being fed CONCENTRATED also known as HIGH ENERGY FEEDS. These include foods for the animals such as cows, that are unfit for the cows stomache.

New Draft for essay three still under construction!

Javed Najhafeez

English/ J. Coopers

Essay #3

CAFO



“Worthless, control= chaos, insignificant, voluntary slavery or required by demand v.s-no option, need money cant find job so put self through hardship to get what is necessary you know what youre signing youself up for then get sucked in just because u need the money!”



Within the CAFO system (concentrated animal feeding operation), both the lives of animals and humans can be referred to as slavery and voluntary slavery. and serves no purpose other than what CAFO requires. CAFO requires humans to subject themselves to a lifestyle that surrounds the practice. Humans are to devote their time and energy at worksites that practice CAFO activities and in connection consumers must support this system. A system in which, after years of consuming of CAFO food products may be the leading cause of their diseases, their future generations’ diseases, financial deficit and death. Animals unlike humans do not have a choice in the way their lives are being altered to benefit production. Animals are more of factory robots programmed by modified feeding products to interfere with their lives in order to make the company profit. Within the CAFO system there is no such thing as life. Animals and humans are deprived of the very thing they were granted with, life. As I stated before the lives of animals are modified, therefore animals no longer have a say in the way they are brought up. Consequently, humans suffer as a result to the poor lives that animals suffer through. Humans suffer in many ways. Human beings over a period of constant consumption of CAFO products can be prone to sicknesses or and diseases that may lead to death. Also some hidden costs can be, financial costs of constantly buying food that kills you faster, or paying unnecessary hospital bills and the deterioration of society by helping to maintain this way of life, the CAFO way of life that is. Society is an innocent victim that is simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nature along with society was put here for the intensions of it being used in an ethical way, a free way of doing things. However, over the past decades the very ones meant to preserve it, began to destroy it. By pollution the air with the smell of animal waste, along with creating thousand miles water dead zones. In addition, causing unnecessary sickness to families who are exposed to the horrors of the CAFO system’s practices. Life as we know it is at its breaking point. Nature is soon to be against us. The thousands of miles of dead zones causing less sea life, this means no seafood. The air being polluted, which means the ozone layer is deteriorating. These are only two examples of why the way in which we live needs to be different. If not for us, but for our future generation.

CHANGE IT! CAFO'S no way to go!

According to CAFO both the lives of animals and humans are meaningless. Meaningless in the sense of the lives of both these beings have no value, and serves no purpose other than what CAFO requires. CAFO, requires humans to subject themselves to lifestyle that surrounds the practice. Humans are to devote their time and energy at worksites that practice cafo activities and in connection consumers must support this system. A system in which may be the leading cause of their diseases, their children’s diseases,  financial deficit and death, after years of consuming CAFO food products. Animals unlike humans do not have a choice in the way their lives are being altered to benefit production. Animals are more of factory robots programmed by modified feeding products to tamper with their lives in order to make the company profit. Within the CAFO system there is no such thing as life. Animals and humans are deprived of the very thing they were granted with. As I stated before the lives of animals are modified, therefore animals no longer have a say in the way they are brought up.
