Give an example of how large-scale hog confinements negatively impact each of the following: 1) sustainability, 2) environmental justice, and 3) the rights and beauty of nature.

What will be an ideal response?


Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) produce the same amount of

water pollution on rural places, where people are more disenfranchised and poorer (2);
CAFOs take away both animal and human rights to the beauty of nature by polluting and
confining thousands of animals in one building (3).
