There are factory farms in Sonoma County.

The factory farming industry benefits from secrecy because they know that people care about animals. They use cartoons or stock images to deceive people into thinking animals on factory farms live happy lives, and then punish people who document the reality.

The truth is that there are animals suffering on factory farms in Sonoma County right now.

These factory farms, formally called Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), make up about 3% of Sonoma County’s animal farms. They are outliers in every sense of the word: they create the most amount of harm, the most amount of pollution, and the most amount of disease.
