By inviting your legislators and President Obama they will understand how the factory farming system:
- abuses animals by keeping pregnant sows in narrow steel cages on bare concrete floors
- sickens neighboring residents with toxic fumes
- pollutes rivers and the coast with untreated waste causing massive fish kills
- endangers human health by overusing antibiotics
- destroys rural communities by driving local family farmers out of business
