Yet more new bullshit which let's you know who's really in control...
Foster Farms
Tyson Industries
Carrolls Foods
etc
In reality since factory farming has been known to produce diseases like Bovine spongiform encephalopathy aka "mad cow disease" and foot and mouth disease, one could argue that by not doing these undercover reports, it places human health in jeopardy as well by not exposing dangerous factory conditions which lead to disease outbreaks...
And factory farm workers may develop acute and chronic lung disease, musculoskeletal injuries, and may catch infections that transmit from animals to human beings such as tuberculosis.
