What is your opinion on the largest "factory" beef farm in California, Harris Ranch? The Harris Family employed Dr. Temple Gardin to ensure they're treating their animals humanely, yet they're subjected to these types of terrorist attacks:
The owner of Harris Farms is a second generation family farmer whose father started with nothing. His farm qualifies as a "factory farm" and "agribusiness" by your standards, but he's also a family farmer.
Exactly how many head of cattle can a family farm have before you slap the "factory farm"/"agribusiness" label on them?
You seem to be putting forth the idea that family farmers automatically start abusing their animals if they raise ~more than~ a certain number of cows. What exactly is that number? Do you have any data/evidence to back this up?
