Donna Oliveira. “My experience as a nurse working with these animals raised the ire of the animals-rights movement. Why, I asked myself, would someone want to kill hundreds of animals in such a way? They couldn’t have gone to a pet shop to purchase these animals. They were forced to work in the factory. I felt like they had no choice.”

There are no clear statistics on where the factory-farm animals are from, but most of their food is processed in a small portion of the large American food industry. They live and work in filthy conditions, with their own feces leaking from under their skin and in the air. In addition to the pain and suffering they endure, the animals’ bodies break down from repeated abuse.” It’s just not possible for a company of all of the problems that a factory farm can create to have some reasonable claim that its animals are food,” says Oliveira of the Humane Society. “There’s no right to be served under the law.”

So you may be wondering – what if food manufacturers could claim that their products are nutritious, natural, and delicious? What if the government legalized a whole new type of company that, if you will, is an animal rights organization? The answer is yes. In fact, that’s exactly what happened during World War II – a new type of corporation was created that claimed to be able to provide the best of both worlds in food. It started a movement that would affect most of the world as we know it today: The National Animal Rights Party (NAHP).

The NAHP (or NAHP as it was called) did not actually exist until after World War II in Britain and America, but by then they were the main enemy on the home front. Before the war started, industrial farming was dominating the food chain and animals had to be processed and killed on a giant industrial scale. At that time, factory farming had reached a critical mass, with farms feeding thousands of animals each meal. There were far too many animals to farm; farmers and food marketers were desperate to get rid of them – and the government was on their side:

When wartime came, the government turned to a new front – a propaganda organization to put the Nazis into some context. The new NAHP – now controlled by the Ministry of Food (in Germany) and Ministry of Peace (in Britain) – took over as the official mouthpiece for animal rights. They
