Any other vegetarian/vegans want to help stop factory farming?!
Answers:
you are still young enough to learn and take some courses in animal husbandry and herd management, take some engineering courses and learn as much as you can about herd dynamics. there is a woman named Temple Grandin who is autistic but is trying to make changes in feed lot and slaughter houses to make it better for the livestock and ease the stress in them. change comes from within and not from pressure from outside sources, the more outside pressure there is the tougher the owners (most know little about livestock but only want the bottom line money) resist therefor in order to make a change it must be presented to them that they can make more money by doing thing differently. there is way too much of a dependency on livestock products to eliminate them so you need to try to make things better so the livestock is less stressed, after that then you need to take in the "humans" that perform the process to weed out the bad apples.

I don't want to just stop factory farming and I for sure don't want to make conditions better in these facilities. I want to do a lot more because all of that is nice tiny little itty bitty baby steps but animals will still be treated as property and used and abused in other industries including other food industries.
We shouldn't try and reform a broken system that was built broken we should destroy the entire thing. It will take a lot of work but it will be more rewarding then making a slaves life only a tiny iota better for a short period. The concept of welfare and humane treatment in a society that treats animals as slaves as well as some humyns doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I don't want any animals to get humane treatment because we can look at history and see how well humyns treat each other. I want them to be free and freedom cannot come through welfare but liberation and the abolishment of property status.
The main thing for most folks to do is educate and explain that all use and abuse of animals is wrong. This is a great video too show in public either on a portable T.V. or using a projector:

I like it a lot because it is hard to watch (as in graphic) and it goes over just about everything.

It is a great remake of an old classic zine perfect too hand out to politically active folks especially those calling themselves anarchists or radicals.
It is also important to educate people on veganism and not say you cannot change people. I was a hardcore meat eater for most of my life I recently became vegan (after a short stint as a vegetarian) It is possible and has happened and continues to happen and can happen more through education. What we all need to understand is that carnists are necessarily idiots but have been taught that animals are property and for us to exploit and we reinforce that all the time so it can be very hard to unlearn that. I know I am still unlearning a lot of what I was taught for years. However it is crucial we work at it. People can change and must change. You just need to work at it
Another great thing to do is learn more about animal liberation, study it and learn about activist security and other skills as well as learning about animals and the earth because being well educated is very important.
The forecast is not bleak there is a lot of people working at it from different angles some doing really awesome work. We can win the fight against animal exploitation if we work hard and never give up!
Vegan because animals are not property
