Abstract
The meat and dairy industries have always been very controversial with respect to animal welfare. There are significant flaws today within these industries whether it's animal welfare, safety hazards, or consumer health concerns. Industrial agriculture in the United States involves billions of animals each year. The information found suggests that these animals are often treated in ways that cause extreme suffering over the course of their lives. Efforts to address and fight the harms that industrial agriculture put on animals typically focus on advocacy. Where there may be a reduction of meat consumption by the consumer, improvement in animal welfare conditions by corporations, or governments banning practices deemed especially harmful to animals. This report investigates major issues of neglect within the industry and tries to see why there has been little to no action done about it. Better guidelines and laws need to be adopted and enforced to ensure that these animals are treated humanely.
