What's Really Going on Down on the Farm? 

The Regulation of the Intensive Confinement of Farmed Animals

 

The panel will explore issues surrounding the use of modern intensive confinement systems by the agriculture industry for raising farmed animals. Topics to be discussed include:  What laws protect farm animals?  Do intensive confinement systems violate these laws? Are intensive confinement systems cruel?  Is the agriculture industry appropriately regulated from an animal welfare perspective?  If not, what is the appropriate venue for reform?
