New call for total beef ban

In H. Walsh’s article, "New call for total beef ban," he writes about people who ban buying beef from Brazil. Brazilian beef has risk and affects the environment. There are impacts to environment and society. The farmers were cutting the forests and changed it to beef selling. Also there are many people who hated it that people were changing from trees to beef selling. Diseased beef was the reason people feared risk in the market of beef selling. I agree with what the author says; there are three reasons for total beef ban, trying to stop the cutting of the forest, having a kind of punishment and crippling process of selling.

First, many people are trying to stop decreasing forests in Brazil. When the people around the world, see a ban like this imposed, after an outbreak of environment risk in Brazil, if they read this article, they might stop importing Brazilian beef. It will influence demand.

Second, we note a number of issues related to converting forest land to beef raising. If there is anyone who would like to sell, they should have clearance to sell. However, maybe there are some people who do it without a permit. Therefore, those people have to be given punishment, because they do not care about the risk to the environment. Also this punishment will give farmers a great incentive to do it with a permit.

Third, a beef ban will cripple the international export market. A call for a total beef ban might change the enforcement of the farmers' business. Some of them may care about a safe environment, or others may fear for their business if they stop imports. This call is like an advertisement; any advertisement will affect the business in several ways. Therefore, if the farmers do not see that side, they are going to lose it.

In conclusion, the presence of the rainforest helps protect us from global warming and keeps some of the rarest and most beneficial animals and their homes alive. If we stop changing forests to animal products, that will stop the risk to the environment. Punishment will scare the discordant farmers. The author was trying to cripple the process of selling. The call for a total beef ban is looking for three effects trying to stop the decreasing of the forest, having a kind of punishment and crippling the process of selling.
