Read the excerpt from the article, "Youth Activism and Animal Rights.”Farm animals, too, may be subject to practices that activists consider inhumane.

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.
