    We don’t really have factory farms in Australia, but holy shit the consistent difference in quality between free range and regular pork MINCE from the same shop is insane

      The documentary “Dominion” is literally about factory farms in Australia.

      Here is a map of factory farms in Australia: https://www.farmtransparency.org/map

      Take this with a large grain of salt, the criteria of the locations on this map is they are locations know OR SUSPECTED to be engaging in animal cruelty or exploitation. And not all of these locations are in operation currently

      But we absolutely have a ton of factory farms unfortunately, this is why it’s important to shop as carefully as you’re able to.

        That seems to be a map of all farms? How do you filter to factory farms

        Not even just farms, tour companies too?

          It is already filtered to factory farms. Although as I said, take that website with a huge grain of salt. Their criteria for what they add is pretty loose, as you’ve seen.

          My point was just that we definitely have factory farms Inghams for example operates over 300 farms across Australia and New Zealand

            Your point is severely diminished when you have to tell someone to take your evidence with a grain of salt.
