Philosophy Paper Proposal
Even in factory farms, animals should be protected against abuse
In this paper, I try to prove that animals being raised in factory farms in America deserve better treatment. My argument shows the public health risks associated with unregulated factory farming, while stressing that animal cruelty is ethically wrong.
Factory Farms advocates disagree, stating that our present regulations are necessary to offer much-needed food products at competitive market prices.
