Nick Cooney - Factory Farming

For the most part, Nick Cooney's presentation on factory farming provided me with a lot of new information that I'd ever never heard, or taken into account before. For me, I enjoyed hearing about the advancements being made, and the progress of the struggle for rights of non-human animals, especially for animals in the factory farming industry. He presented facts about the rise of veganism and vegetarianism, as well as information about countries and states that have eliminated cruel factory farming procedures, such as battery cages and gestation crates. Sometimes the topics surrounding factory farming can become a little redundant and depressing; it was refreshing to hear good news for once. Though the fight is far from over, it’s slightly comforting to know that the cruelty surrounding factory farming is being noticed. Hopefully with just a few states outlawing cruel factory farm animal practices, we can hope to see other states and nations follow suit in the near future.
