Thanks to FarmedAnimal Net for this information from August 8. In a unanimous decision, New Jersey’s Supreme Court rejected a broad challenge by animal protection advocates to the state’s rules on the care of farmedanimals) but struck down regulations that regard husbandry practices as being “humane” merely because they are routine.

I came across this 2005 book from the Society & Animals Journal titled Confronting Cruelty Moral Orthodoxy and the Challenge of the Animal Rights Movement. Readership: This book will be of interest to anyone who wishes to understand the animal rights movement in England, the United States and Australia. Sounds interesting.
My view, then, is not that which it has often been taken to be in discussion and which Singer, Regan, Clark, and others blast in their work; I am not suggesting that, because they lack language, animals can be factoryfarmed without suffering. Animals are moral patients, but not moral agents. You and I have both.
A column entitled "Ag Industry Threatened by Animal Rights" appeared in today's High Plains/Midwest Ag Journal [ HPMAJ ]. The column, which you can read here , is a call to arms to factory farmers to fight back against those individuals and organizations working to protect farmanimals from the abuses inherent in factoryfarms.
It might be argued that any decrease in suffering for farmedanimals is good, morally speaking. Imagine arguing not that human chattel slavery ought to be abolished, but that it ought to be reformed so as to inflict less suffering on the slaves. But doesn't decreasing animalsuffering make abolition less likely?
To the Editor: It’s mind-boggling that in spite of overwhelming evidence that the consumption of animal products is directly responsible for a host of human diseases , greenhouse gas production and indescribable animalsuffering, the general public continues to satiate its taste buds and support factoryfarming.
It's impersonal and hideously ugly and the animalssuffer greatly. However, the solution they have created, which harkens back to before industrialized agriculture, is simply to still raise animals for their flesh and secretions, and for profit, but to do it the old-fashioned way.

Animal Equality’s UK Executive Director–alongside award-winning photographer Aitor Garmendia–has uncovered distressing animalsuffering within a UK pig facility known as Cross Farm.
Not all meat eaters are cold, cruel, selfish individuals insensitive to animalsuffering. Many, if not most, of the meat eaters I know are deeply concerned about the fact that the animals they eat are raised in factoryfarm conditions. They realize that factoryfarming is inhumane.
To the Editor: Re “ A Farm Boy Reflects ” (column, July 31): Hats off to Nicholas D. Kristof, who takes note of the trend represented by the animal welfare proposition on the ballot in California this fall. And thanks to federal corn and soybean subsidies, factoryfarms saved an estimated $3.9
If they are at all informed about modern animal agricultural practices, they know that raising animals intensively in factoryfarms greatly increases the amount of animalsuffering in the world. It serves no significant human interest whatsoever.
In fact, animals used for food do suffer a great deal. Now there is no doubt that the actual treatment of animals used for food is immoral, that animals are made to suffer needlessly. Now there is no doubt that the actual treatment of animals used for food is immoral, that animals are made to suffer needlessly.
Jonathan Hubbell, a philosophy major at the University of Texas at Arlington, is the newest member of the Animal Ethics blog, and once again, I would like to welcome him aboard. It goes something like this: Yes, I agree that factoryfarming is morally unjustifiable and ought to be abolished.
