Hrm..
While PETA, Greenpeace, etc are fucking whackos, they do have one good point.
Factory farms are wrong. Period. Nothing wrong w/ meat, etc. But christ, at least not tortue the animals. If everything was basically your old fashioned family-type farm, these groups truly wouldn't have a leg to stand on with the public as a whole.
The conditions on my moms farm vs. a big factory farm for chickens say, is insane. My mom kills the chickens and *gasp* sells them for food of course, but until then they live a generally normal life. The flip-side is a 5 foot box crammed with 20 chickens all fed super-duper-food to make them gain weight super fast. Just aint natural or right.
That said, I'm not going to stop eating meat. It's just I would prefer say, paying double for that pound of hamburger at the store if I knew it came from "conventional" farming means.
Do away w/ factory type farming, and I guarantee you PETA would not even be heard of by the majority.

p.s. That all-creatures.org site is done by a bunch of morons. Too many factual errors. Like uhm, "Cows must be kept pregnant in order for them to keep producing milk". What kind of retarded fuck actually believes that?
