To answer that question, one needn't look any further than the dozens of damning undercover investigations
into agribusiness operations released over the last several years: chickens crammed so tightly
into tiny cages that they can't even spread their
wings, living in the same
space with the rotting corpses of their cage - mates; mother pigs unable to even turn around for months on end inside their gestation crates; factory farm workers sadistically abusing animals; and more.
