The argument in favour of factory farming has always been that it is an economical approach to feeding the planet’s growing population. At World Animal Protection, we contend that this argument holds up only when the true costs of factory farming are hidden from the public. When we factor in the suffering experienced by animals; the loss of habitat diversity and environmental damage caused by feed production; the growing threat of antibiotic resistance caused by antibiotic overuse; and the increase in global health crises posed by zoonotic diseases like COVID-19, there can be no doubt that the harms of factory farming far outweigh the benefits.
