Legal but Harmful Products

In the passages, Irving Coffman argues that many companies are to blame for the rate of deaths caused in the United States because companies that manufacture drugs have cause many health problems.

Even though about 100 thousand of these animals can't walk after being tormented they are still used for food known as dairy cows that are in hamburgers. Babies get taken away from their mothers while men cows get sold. On the other hand pigs seem to have a much horrific story. Mother pigs are locked in tiny spaced cages and are forced to give birth there and are only allowed to go out when they’re on their way to the slaughter houses. When baby pigs are born their ears get chopped off and their teeth without pain kill as well. When pigs lack in growth they get slammed on concrete floors and die. Some get shot with a captive built gun and others get whopped with gate rods. After
