To the hundreds of billions of animals, past
and present, who have been and continue to be
tortured in the industrial food factories known as
concentrated animal feeding operations—CAFOs.

And to the activists, farmers, scientists, writers,
photographers, concerned citizens, and all
others engaged in creating a healthy, humane,
community-based, and sustainable food system.

May the real costs and impacts of mega feeding
operations and their associated economies become
more widely discussed, debated, and understood.

And may the time come when animal husbandry,
agricultural diversity, and wild biodiversity are
valued for their own sake as well as our own, and
when the interdependence between healthy lands,
healthy plants and animals, healthy communities,
and healthy people is universally acknowledged.
