The main downside to "factory farming" is that animals are treated as commodities, not as living, breathing beings that can feel pain, distress and boredom like we can. Those who operate a so-called "factory farm" have much less emotional attachment to their animals than those who operate a family farm or a hobby farm. This less-than-desirable emotional attachment invites criticism from animal lovers and animal rights groups that such farms practice animal cruelty.
