Inhumane

Eating Animals is about Jonathan Safran Foer researching the truth about the process of killing the animals people eat and society being aware and not being able to do anything about it. Foer quotes the Common Farming Excemptions (CFE) on Nevada not imposing laws to "prohibit or interfer with established methods of animal husbandry, including the raising, handling, feeding, housing, and transporting of livestock or farmed animals" (Foer 51). In allowing the CFE to do this people do not have the right to change the manner in which farm animals are treated. The CFE permits any type of cruel treatment towards farm animals as long as it is "commonly praticed" (Foer 50). It is sad that these animals cannot voice their pain and suffering and the people that can speak for them are prohibited by laws to do so. I believe that inhumane is an understatement for the situations that farm animals have to endure.
