 Sadly not very many people are doing anything to help this topic, these poor beautiful creatures cannot talk, but we can, why can't we all do more instead of sitting here complaining!

People can't take action against factory farming, when they don't even know how awful it is. I think more steps should be take to raise awareness to the public before further action can be taken.

As a vegetarian, I think that factory farming is an abomination. You can get more protein per hectare with vegetation than you can with beasts so it would seem to make sense to grow more.
That said, without farming, many species would have died out, especially now when the real food movement is pushing for farming with the old types of animals.
My concern is with the fish population, which is being hunted to extinction. I am saddened that vast swathes of Krill are being hoovered up to make animal feed. It takes something like 3 kilos of Krill and other fish to make one kilo of a farmed fish. This is an abomination.
I don't think that everybody should become vegetarians but I do think that the animals should have a good quality of life before they end up on the plate.

Many people argue that eating meat is natural for humans to do. True, humans are omnivores and are biologically made to eat both meat and plants. But looking at biological evidence we are much more closer to herbivores than carnivores. The length of our intenstines, for example, and the small size of our jaws in comparison with the rest of our head are more closely related to that of herbivores.
In regards to factory farming, there is nothing "natural" about it. Chickens for example, are breeded to produce larger breasts, because the demand of consumers for white meat has increased. This comes at a great cost to the animals themselves, many can barely walk, and some die from cardiovascular problems do to a overburdened body construct. Many are killed as juvenilles, barely any make it to adulthood. Factory farming also increases the spread of diseases because of the heavy concentrations of animals. And because of the overly-large breasts, upon slaughter the breasts release large anounts of lactic acid into the meat, which makes the meat crumbly when cooked. To counteract this the meat must be pumped with chemicals so that it meat the quality that consumers expect. This is only one of the many effects of factory farming.
It is because of factory farming that I am a vegeterian.

I've been a vegetarian for 10 years now. If someone asks what was my best choice ever that i've chosen in my life, I absolutely say 'being a vegetarian'.
There are some reasons why I'm always suggesting people to be vegetarian.
First, it's healthy. Nowadays, the way that meat industry produces meat is absolutely unhealthy. In order to produce a large amount of meat efficiently, people put numerous animals in a small cage for their entire life. Consequently, that little space becomes filled with all kinds of dirty wastes. To avoid animal's sickness from it, people inject various antibiotics(and lots of growth hormones), and we eat those meat without any hesitation.
Second, if we consider well about the importance of life, we would not avoid suffering animals by human. Animals are same as us. They have feelings and heart. When they are sad, they cry like us. When they are happpy, they smile like we do. They also have families and friends to love with. If you have any pets now, you would well understand how animals have deep feelings like we do.
Being a vegetarian is love and care. I think that it is very important solution to make better and peaceful world.
