He answers questions regarding the right of animals to freedom. It can be said that America is a democratic country and therefore everyone should have the right to freedom. He may also ask if the constitution itself does not differentiate between animals and humans, what gives humans this right? In response to this, Pollan states that “granting rights to animals may elevate us from the brutal world of predation, but it will involve sacrificing part of our identity – our own animality” (Pollan 218). Many humans rely on animals for protein and if they suddenly stopped, the entire food chain would be disrupted. As previously stated, Pollan believes that the slaughter of an animal can be justified if it has received proper care, love and respect. In addition to this, Bentham also stated: "the death which they suffer in [the slaughterhouses] is, and always may be, a more rapid and, therefore, less painful death than that which would await them in the inevitable course of nature”. (Survey 219). Ultimately, having your throat slit is better than being killed or bitten by a wolf and then left to bleed out. It is true that if the animal lived in the wild it would be free, but it would also not be able to protect itself from stronger and heavier predators. Slaughterhouses somehow protect these animals from external threats
