Read the excerpt from the article, "Youth Activism and Animal Rights.” Farm animals, too, may be subject to practices that activists consider inhumane. These practices are generally perpetrated by large farms, known as factory farms, which may treat animals poorly in an effort to reduce costs and increase profits. In addition to other concerns, activists have discovered a level of confinement of pigs, hens, and cows that they consider extreme. They have developed materials conveying this information, promoting the message that farm animals deserve ethical care, just as pets do. Read the passage from the story, "Undercover Farmer.” I lived about ten miles from a big dairy farm, the kind they call a factory farm, and I knew from the newspaper that they were always hiring extra help—even tenth graders like me—to do odd jobs after school. I was assigned to feed the pigs, which was lucky because one of the things I’d read about was mistreatment of sows while they are pregnant, and I wanted to know more. I tucked a small camera in a back pocket of my jeans and a tiny tape recorder in the other. I thought it was too dangerous to try to take video, at least at first. The situation was worse than I thought. The farm kept the female pigs in crates so small they didn’t even have room to turn around. I took pictures of the pigs from all sides. Based on the details from "Youth Activism and Animal Rights,” which aspect of "Undercover Farmer" is a fictionalized element?
