Animals Used for Food: Factory Farming, Vegetarianism, and Veganism
Over nine billion animals are killed for food in the US every year. Most of these are confined in factory farms and are inhumanely crowded and fed a diet laced with hormones and antibiotics before they are slaughtered. This page will explore the issues surrounding factory farming, "humane" farming, vegetarianism and veganism.
