This episode of TED Talks Daily features Lewis Bollard discussing the moral implications of factory farming. He recounts his personal experiences that led him to advocate for animal welfare, describes common factory farming practices such as gestation crates, battery cages, and chick killing, and highlights the progress made in combating these practices through legislation, corporate commitments, and technological innovation. Despite this progress, he notes that the overall problem of animal suffering is growing, with more animals affected today than ever before. Bollard urges listeners to talk about factory farming and advocate for basic animal welfare standards to help end these abuses.
