About the Cover:
Farm animals raised on pasture have room to roam and opportunities to engage in natural behaviors—foraging, rooting, grazing, dust bathing, lounging in sun or shade. Most animals raised for food in the United States, however, feel neither sun above nor grass below. They are crammed into factory farms with little or no room to maneuver. In recent years, a number of states have enacted laws banning some of the more extreme forms of confinement, but there is still a long way to go. AWI reviews the reform efforts and summarizes the current state of factory farming.
In this Issue: AWI examines the state of industrial farming in the United States amid efforts by some US states to improve living conditions for animals in agriculture. Atrocities at a beagle breeding facility in Virginia prompt court intervention. An ambitious project aims to suppress Hawaii’s invasive mosquito population and improve the outlook for the Islands’ endangered birds. Celebrating success and looking to the future as the Marine Mammal Protection Act turns 50. And a note of thanks to all our members for your vital support.
