<br/><br/> "Pressure from animal-welfare groups, fast-food restaurants and grocery chains is forcing livestock producers and slaughterhouses to change the way they treat farm animals. The movement is widespread." (DES MOINES REGISTER) This article relates how "animal welfare was identified as the No. 7 'megatrend' (out of 12) facing American agriculture," and how pressure is being exerted by consumers on farmers, as well as slaughterhouses, restaurants and grocery stores, to improve the treatment of farm animals at every stage of the process.
