THERE ARE NO FACTORY FARMS.
The overwhelming majority (to use your term) of farms are not bad nor do they treat their animals poorly. What animals do you think are crammed in pens that they can't turn around? It's certainly not cattle and if you're referring to hogs....it's called a farrowing crate and they put sows in them so they won't lay on and kill their piglets. In my youth I worked on my neighbors egg farm. Yes, the hens were in cages and they didn't have a lot of space, but they could move and turn around with space to spare.
No acceptable source of food or water!? What sense would that make? Those of us who have livestock use them as our paycheck....what sense would it make to deny them the basics of life? Just how many instances of this have you seen personally? I'm betting not one.
If I have to watch one more of those old, re-run time after time video clips that "certain groups" show one more time I think I'll scream. They took the worst of the worst and show it time after time. It's really sad that the uninformed person uses those as their measure of how animals are treated by we farmers and ranchers. I haven't seen a new one in years and years.
I live every day of my life in the agricultural world.....it's my lifestyle and how I make my living. THERE ARE NO FACTORY FARMS......it's a made up term by people who've probably never even been a a real farm or ranch in their lives.
