In this article it explains not just how the animals are treated, but why they are treated this way and what benefits there are. These are the four main points:
- Kept in small cages or jam-packed sheds or on filthy feedlots, often with so little space that they can’t even turn around or lie down comfortably
- Deprived of exercise so that all their bodies’ energy goes toward producing flesh, eggs, or milk for human consumption
- Fed drugs to fatten them faster and keep them alive in conditions that could otherwise kill them
- Genetically altered to grow faster or to produce much more milk or eggs than they naturally would (many animals become crippled under their own weight and die just inches away from water and food)
It states in the article that by making animals suffer so much through their lives they actually "lose money" This is because many animals die from discomfort, overeating and other disasters caused by the factory workers. If they treated these animals fairly and gave them a happy life none of them would die and they would get more healthy meat from surviving animals then young, dead ones.
This is a video posted on the website showing how animals are treated.

This is where it gets tricky for the factories. They have to make decisions. To give animals a healthy standard of life it costs more money. They need more land to keep them on, money for healthier food, money for better facilities and money for keeping them longer. Although letting animals die from this other "cheap lifestyle" makes them lose a lot of money. The farmers all chose death over comfort because it is apparently "cheaper" This is what i want to actually find out, is it cheaper? Is it?
