- factory farming:
- Against:
- Factory farming is cruel to the animals, they have no room to move and often never see daylight. chickens are given growth enhancing hormones which can cause their legs to break.
- Factory farming has proved to be a danger to the environment: a third of CO2 emissions comes from intensive farming practices.
- Dairy cows are kept permanently pregnant so they produce milk all the time
- Free range farms give animals better living conditions, they can go outside and behave naturally.
- For:
- Humans are better than animals in many ways. we are more powerful and intelligent than farm animals and therefore we can treat them as we see fit
