What is a Factory Farm?

1. Factory farming is the primary way that the United States and many other countries produce popular animal products like hamburgers, cheese, and eggs. 🍳 🍔 🧀
2. Factory farms, also known as concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), are a modern industrial method of raising farmed animals, who are collectively known in industry parlance as livestock. 🐄
3. On factory farms, large numbers of animals are confined in small spaces, which often means keeping animals indoors for the duration of their lives.

A large criticism of Factory Farming is for its Inhumane Conditions

A point of contention for animal rights groups or advocates is on how the law shapes or allows the practices.

Farm Animals lack Legal Protections

Factory Farms are also criticized for their effect on the environment.
