Summary:

Animal protection activists in the United States are seeking modifications (or even curtailment) of many practices long considered acceptable and necessary in animal agriculture but which they consider inhumane. Defenders of animal agriculture insist that producers care about and understand their animals' welfare needs and would be economically foolish to ignore them.
