Factory farming is the number 1 cause of animal cruelty in the world. All farm animals in Australia have been excluded from animal cruelty laws that protect dogs and cats. These poor animals are being crammed into enormous sheds where they live an unhealthy existence, without sunlight, fresh air, or even room to move. These highly intelligent animals suffer tremendously in factory farms. The cost of factory farms extends far beyond animals as they significantly contribute to today's most serious environmental and health issues.
