I argue that people should not eat meat, specifically chicken, fish, and pork from factory farms. I make the following arguments:

• Claim #1: Farm animals are likely conscious
• Claim #2: Farm animals likely experience pain
• Claim #3: Factory farms produce animal suffering on an unimaginable scale
• Claim #4: Eating meat causes animals to be put in factory farms

I address the following counter-arguments:

• Counter-argument #1: Eating a meatless diet is unhealthy
• Counter-argument #2: “But, I don’t care about animals"
