1 What is the main topic of the essay
The pros and cons (advantages and disadvantages / for and against opinion) of factory farming.
Read the essay. Answer the questions.
Factory farming involves keeping farm animals inside buildings to increase the production of meat or eggs. According to an institute, “74% of the world’s poultry, 43% of its beef and 68% of its eggs are produced in this way.”
2 What are the main arguments and supporting details used “for” and “against” factory farming
The main argument for factory farming: apart from being a lot cheaper than traditional or organic farming, it provides more food for a world population that has already reached seven billion, according to the United Nations.
Supporting details: not use many workers, low costs, high production; suffer from fewer diseases.
The main argument for factory farming is that, apart from being a lot cheaper than traditional or organic farming, it provides more food for a world population that has already reached seven billion, according to the United Nations. As factory farms don’t use many workers, the costs are low and the production is high. Moreover, factory-farmed animals suffer from fewer diseases than those living outside.
2 What are the main arguments and supporting details used “for” and “against” factory farming
The main argument against factory farming: opponents of farming say that it is cruel to the animals.
Supporting details: be kept in small places, suffer terrible stress, have a negative impact on the environment (waste products, chemicals to control insects, drugs to treat diseases).
On the other hand, opponents of factory farming say that it is cruel to the animals. For instance, many farm animals are kept in small spaces where they can hardly move. People who fight for animal rights claim that these animals suffer terrible stress. In addition to this, factory farming has a negative impact on the environment because it creates a lot of waste products, and uses a lot of chemicals to control insects and drugs to treat disease (UK Farming Today, 2013).
3 What is the writer’s opinion about factory farming
We should try to reduce this kind of farming, although we would have to pay more for our eggs and meat.
To sum up, despite producing cheap food, factory farming is bad for the planet and for the animals themselves. In my opinion, we should try to reduce this kind of farming, although we would have to pay more for our eggs and meat.
