- 15Explain religious attitudes to different methods of farmingMost religious believers believe that animals can be used by humans, if they are treated humanely. As a result of this factory farms are frowned upon, as they do not give the subjected animals a good quality of life. Most religions have different views on how we should farm and use the animals that they believe god has gifted them with. On the other hand, Sikhs believe that eating animals is permissible; however most choose to become vegetarians as they beliefs of reincarnation mean that you could be slaughtering a family or friend for your pleasure and benefit. Muslims do not believe in the modern methods of farming animals such as factory and battery farming. They believe that animals are like us as shown in the Quran: “There is not an animal that lives on this earth, nor a being that flies on its wings that is not part of a community like you”.

This means that god does not want people to work animals too hard or to abuse them, if we want to use them for work we should make sure that we do not overwork them.
