Factory Farm Presentation

Today's presentation was at times difficult to listen to. We have all heard rumblings of what happens to animals in these facilities, the horror stories. But to actually see the pictures of their living conditions, especially the video we watched was simply heartbreaking. To hear that almost all of those animals will never step outside a day in their lives is horrible, and the numbers of animals crowded in one factory farm is astonishing. These "farms" torture and kill animals and it is absolutely outrageous that the law overlooks this fact for agricultural needs. The fact that these animals are living, breathing creatures who feel pain is completely ignored for the allure of big business. The different holding pens need to be outlawed as quickly as possible. There is in excuse for the unnecessary suffering of factory farm animals.
