Is the Holocaust a Valid Analogy for Factory Farming?
Is it valid to compare the Jewish holocaust to factory farming? In this video I go over all the similarities and differences (that I can think of ) in an attempt to more accurately zero in on just how valid this analogy is.
I talk about transporation, branding, confinement, incentives to slaughter, relative number of individuals killed and pull quotes from Holocaust survivors Alex Hershaft and Isaac Bashevis Singer.
