RJA #13a: Field Research Report
My field research was conducted at a tokyo joe's. Tokyo joes is a locally owned company that prides its self on their food. This was a good resource for me to use because Tokyo Joe's uses all Natural beef and chicken products. This in turn meas that the animals products used at tokyo joes do not com from a factory farm. I talked with the manager that was on duty and asked why Tokyo Joe's supports All Natural. He claimed that it was a mixture of reasons but the two main points Tokoyo Joe's want is promote healthier food and proper treatment of farm animals. He also informed me that almost all fish products are wild and not farm raised.

Albright, Jack L. "History and Future of Animal Welfare Science." Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science 1.2 (1998): 145. Print.
This author goes over basically how factory farms came about and the pro and con to having them. He goes over the history and the issues that these farms had to overcome to stay in existence like; the introduction of medicine to allows these farms to house far more than ever before. He also goes over the inhumane treatment that comes with factory farming. He includes the environmental impact and what is at risk for our future. This article was good but short, he brought forward some good points and facts but needed to go into future detail to be a creditable source.
Bernstein , Mark H. Without A Tear: Our Tragic Relationship with Animals. Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 1998. 92-115. Print.
This author of this book discusses the treatment of animals and their rights. He dedicates a whole chapter about the procedure and inhumane treatment farm animals go through. He elaborates in much detail of the abuse and suffering brought onto the typical industrial farm animal. It would be safe to say that the author is very anti-factory farm. He does not bring to the table about how these farms feed millions of people. However, his writing about the process that these animals go through seems to be very worthy.
