Factory farms: Free range

Article Abstract:

Animal agriculture and livestock ranching had developed on a larger scale by the late 1700s in Spanish-settled regions in early America, where cattle and sheep grazed and pigs rooted on village commons much into the 1800s. However, the federal government carved out national forests and restricted their use in the 1890s, which created problems between the livestock farmers and environmental regulators.

Article Abstract:

Congress passed the first Meat Inspection Act in 1890 after some European countries limited the imports of the U.S. meat and strengthened inspection standards in 1891 and 1895. Congress passed the Packers and Stockyards Act in 1921, which sought to maintain competition in the livestock industry by banning price discrimination and other unfair and deceptive practices.
