Best Answer

Animals are raised on Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) because there is not enough land to be able to hold or raise these animals in a more "natural" or "free-range" operation. With many more mouths to feed, a much higher demand for meat, milk and eggs than in the past or what free-range or natural operations can meet with supply, CAFO operations are really a necessity to meet these demands.
