Are animal farming practices ethical?
Can these hormones produce ant long term effects?
What kind of laws are there to regulate farming practices?
Do animals have rights?
What organizations keep the public safe?
How can we reduce animal cruelty in farming?
What are the reasons for treatment?
What do these hormones do to the animals?
What does factory farming mean?
Are the consequences stern enough?
Is the public aware in the products that come from these farms?
Is this topic more about politics and economics?
What is farming subsidies and why do we have them?
RJA #3b: Narrowing Research Topic
I think that by narrowing down my topic would dilute the purpose on what my topic needs to cover. I could just cover animal cruelty in farming or the hormones that are being used in today's farming systems, but I believe that they co inside with each other. However, I do believe that I need to focus on commercialized farming and on private farming.
