11, 2008 To the Editor: We are seeing environmental ruin because of factory farming. Besides depleting the ocean’s supply of fish for those animals normally feeding on them, the factory farming of cattle, pigs and chickens uses excessive water and pollutes our land. A shift toward more vegetarian options would indeed benefit us all.
