Are animal farming and factory farming the same?
No. "Factory farming" is a phrase used only by opponents of large-scale animal agriculture. The correct term is actually Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation or CAFO. As the name implies, CAFO's are large facilities where animals are fed out until they reach their slaughter weight. Only about 15,000 of the 350,000 animal feeding operations in the US qualify as CAFO's, but they produce over 50% of the total animal products.Another viewpointFactory farming is one way of farming, but there are many ways to raise animals as livestock. For example, one could have free range livestock, meaning that they have a lot of land on which to live.In a factory farm, the animals are generally kept in extremely tight quarters and are fed via a large machine. They are handled more by machines than by people. The purpose of factory farming is to churn out more fat animals and meat to make more money. It is not good for people (The food quality is terrible), it is not good for the animals (they suffer a lot before death), and it is not good for the environment (tons of CO2 produced, not to mention the land they are on is trashed).In short, factory farming is a type of animal farming, but animal farming is a broader category with more answers.

How is factory farming harmful to animals?
Factory farming doesn't exist. As a matter of fact there really is no such thing as a "factory farm." Confined Animal Feeding Operations or CAFOs are supposedly harmful to animals because they work against nature, confining animals to small spaces where the cannot move around much, like with farrowing crates or battery hen cages. However, these animals don't have to work to find food because food is always in front of them, and plenty of it. They also get treated for illnesses if they get sick.

What do factory farming and organic farming have in common?
[1] In theory and in practice, the two tend to be direct opposites of each other. [2] But the two actually do hold in common an attempt to control the endproduct. [3] But the similarity stops there. For factory farming seeks to make the most profit at the lowest cost, and in the fastest time. And it does so by confining its animals and subjecting them to antibiotics, growth regulators, and hormones. [4] In contrast, organic farming seeks to produce the healthiest product in the healthiest of environments. [5] So factory farming's choke collar is finances, and organic's is health.
What are the downsides of factory farming?
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.
