Industrial farms should abandon pens because they restrict environments for livestock. For example, In Christina Salvi, involved in maintaining and expanding recycling and water reduction in New York, says hundreds and thousands of animals are cramped together, using as little space as possible (“Let Livestock”). Factory farms put livestock at risk due to harsh conditions, leaving them without access to natural light for chickens, fresh air and natural movement, forcing them to live in unsanitary soils. These living conditions force them to eat and sleep in their own waste and move around for the sole purpose of meeting the needs of industries aiming to maximize their profits through large animal occupancies in small designated areas. Similarly, Ashley Capps, a writer and researcher specializing in farm animal welfare and veganism advocacy, says that 97% of pigs in the United States are raised indoors (“Bacon”). Warehouse-style factory farms pack pigs by the thousands, limiting their ability to perform basic natural behaviors, leading them to suffer depression and anxiety. This stereotypical stress causes aggressive behavior causing them to have their tail bitten. Tail biting forces farmers to cut off their tails without anesthesia instead of increasing land areas for natural mobility. Yet the USDA would question the need for mobility due to current federal regulations. In fact, the Department of Agriculture states that in Livestock Living Conditions Section 205.239, farmers must contain natural maintenance, comfort behaviors, and opportunity for exercise. However, the evidence I have cited conclusively proves otherwise. For example, the perspective of Bruce Friedrich, executive director of the Good Food Institute, reveals that battery cages are small wire cages where approximately 95% of laying hens in the United States spend their entire lives (“The
