Controversy of Factory Farming
Factory Farming is the intensive farming of animals such as cows, pigs, and chicken. It has been in use since and has generated much controversy. Before factory farming, poultry such as chicken and eggs were hard to come by because of the cost of making grain for them but after the discovery of nitrogen and phosphorus as fertilizer. Now that fertilizer is so cheap to come by, grain is also, and in return it is easier to farm animals intensively as it has been now.

Treatment of Animals
The treatment of animals have been disputed as some farms have been seen to abuse animals by not even stunning them completely before killing of the animals. For example, it has been seen that farm workers did not chicken completely before boiling them in water. Many chickens have been scalded to death. However many people say that since factory farms are bigger, the workers will be better able to help the animals before they are slaughtered.
