Answer:

Many factory farms keep consumers in the dark about their processes and how animals are raised because many of their practices are now considered inhumane. This is because more and more light is being shed against such activity by animal welfare organizations.

Any farm may be demarketed if they are branded to be in violation of animal treatment best practices.

Explanation:

Some of the practices which go on at these farms also known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations are now being brought to the fore by Animal Welfare Institutes.

These inhuman or unfair practices include but are not limited to:

  • Painful or highly stressful actions against the animals without the use of anesthesia or pain relief. Such pain actions are: tail docking, dehorning, castration, debeaking, etc
  • There is also the practice of inconvenient confinement of pigs, egg-laying hens so much so that they are unable to spread their wings as in the case of the hens or run around as in the case of the pigs.
  • cows have been shown to suffer lameness and udder infection due to lifelong confinement and in some cases injection with growth hormones.

Crowded animal farms lead to the proliferation of diseases such as Bird Flu (for birds), SwineFlu (for pigs), and other forms of viruses which can prove dangerous to human health when these products are consumed.

Another reason farms would hide their unpopular operations from consumers is that following laid down best practice translates to additional costs and lower profits.

What is the difference between slavery and indentured servitude? Why did slavery replace indentured servitude in the colonies?
RoseWind [281]
Indentured servants were people residing in the colonies who would sign a work contract, usually for 6 or so years, in exchange for land or even getting their crimes pardoned. Indentured servants were NOT considered to be property of the contract holder and upon their contract being up, they were able to be an equal part of the community (able to own property and vote). A slave was brought over from Africa (mainly) against their will and had no definite contract. Sometimes slave holders would let the slave buy their way to freedom, but most were slaves for life. If they could "buy" their way out, they received nothing in return for their laboring years and could not own property or vote. 
Slavery became the most popular form of labor in the colonies because the slave owners did not have to give the slaves anything in return, could have them indefinitely, and in all honesty just didn't view them as people. It was both a moral issue as well as the fact that the slave owners could just save more money in the end.
