We are waking up to the way we treat farm animals

[Catherine]

This is a complex issue and the article I found is a heavy read, but it has a lot of information and some very clear statistics.
It is dealing primarily with the farm animal situation in the USA, but many of the big companies function globally so changing them in one country has an effect on their workings in other countries.

It is worth the read.

I am impressed to hear about the Open Philanthropy Project and how their money is being used to help farm animals.
The whole system needs to be changed. People are eating less meat, but I think there will continue to be meat consumption at least for the foreseeable future.


We can at least make things better.

Work your way through the article. It is long and covers so many issues, but it is encouraging in spite of the nature of the subject.
