cafreen asked: Just wondering, how do you feel about animal treatment on factory farms? I see so many documentaries about protecting endangered animals and marine mammals, but factory farm animals (which make up 99% of "farm animals") are treated with about as much regard as ants.

I watch it almost daily after I finish my homework as a way to relax after a long day, it is seriously one of the best things I have ever found on the internet.
