In the World of Animal Welfare: Disputes in Arizona

Hello readers! Some interesting animal welfare news has surfaced concerning the conditions and treatment of animals in the factory-farms. Please read ahead for more information.

Although the Humane Society works to combat the mistreatment of animals all over the world, it is currently hard at work in Arizona, fighting against the factory-farms that have the horrible conditions shown in the documentary Food Inc. The main dispute is, of course, over the treatment of animals in relation to the price of food for consumers. Should we continue the horrible practices of the food industry to keep food costs low, or should we treat the animals well and make them content but raise the price of groceries? It is a very difficult situation, but the Humane Society is working hard to protect the animals while the farmers are working hard to protect their business. In this fight, there are truly no winners, but in my opinion, let's hope the animals come out on top. Sound off in the comments.
