Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) raise billions of land animals annually for food.

Rights advocates argue for a complete transition to plant-based or cultivated meat alternatives to eliminate slaughter entirely.

Factory farming is the largest source of human-caused animal suffering globally. To maximize efficiency and minimize costs, billions of animals are raised in high-density, confined spaces. Standard practices include gestation crates for pigs, battery cages for egg-laying hens, and surgical mutilations (like debeaking and tail-docking) performed without anesthesia.
