Ignored animals need urgent change now

• “the majority of the nearly 10 billion land-based animals, plus countless more aquatic animals, farmed for food each year in the U.S. are suffering on factory farms.”†

• “nearly all animals farmed in the U.S. (99 percent) are raised on factory farms.”*

• “Factory farm” is a term describing an “industrial facility that raises large numbers of farm animals such as pigs, chickens or cows in intensive confinement where their movements are extremely inhibited."*†

• “animals are kept in cages or crates or are crowded together in pens."†

• “Factory farms are also referred to as concentrated or confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs).”†

• “Ag-gag" bills are designed to silence whistleblowers revealing animal abuses on industrial farms”†
