 abstract={Concern for the fate of animals in dependence on humans was first expressed in a statute in the 19th century in Great Britain. In Poland, penalties for animal abuse appeared almost a hundred years later, in a regulation of the President of the Republic of Poland in 1928. We have evolved from the times of vivisection, when Descartes argued that an animal is a kind of machine and has no feelings, to the present day, in which we surround domesticated animals with care and treat them with understanding.},
 abstract={Science has proven that animals are sensitive to external stimuli, feeling fear, joy, sadness, pain, longing and suffering - just like humans. However, pets remain the main subject of broad care. We provide these utility animals, especially those subjected to mass breeding, with only what is needed to increase their economic value - body weight, milk production, and we keep them in tight cages, causing their lives to be constant suffering from birth to death, often during ritual slaughter.},
 abstract={Proposals for changes that could improve the lives of utility animals are met with opposition from groups that profit from their exploitation. The production chain from breeder to seller of meat or milk would require the implementation of costly solutions that would ultimately have to be passed on to the consumer. Religious minorities supported by the Catholic Church also do not want to improve animal welfare, as they defend the right to free religious worship and see the return of the ban on ritual slaughter as an improvement in animal welfare.},
 abstract={In Poland, slaughter without prior stunning was prohibited by the Animal Protection Act of 17 August 1997. The ban was in force until 2014, although it was frequently violated. Only the Constitutional Tribunal?s ruling in 2014 finally confirmed that ritual slaughter is in line with the Polish constitution. Since then, exports have increased, and so have the profits of establishments specializing in this activity. Today, there is little chance of challenging this decision, although the Constitutional Tribunal is governed by Jarosław Kaczyński`s party. Jarosław Kaczyński learned how strong the business and religious lobby is when he tried to push through his so-called Five for Animals project, which led to a party crisis. Other political leaders have drawn conclusions from this lesson - the meat and fur business can feel unthreatened.},
 abstract={In working on this article, I used numerous scientific studies on the problems of farm animal protection in Poland, as well as transcripts from parliamentary sessions, historical resolutions and laws, and articles and records of conversations between representatives of the breeding business and politicians. The analysis of the collected materials showed that the most important reason for the lack of changes necessary for ethical reasons are the economic reasons of interest groups that benefit from meat production. The Polish meat industry was worth about PLN 100 billion in 2023. Poland is one of the largest producers and exporters of meat in Europe.},
