Question
Hi, i'm doing a paper on animal abuse and i wanted to ask a
question.
1. I want to know about any Efforts policy makers are making
to address animal abuse and if not, what are some policy that
should be made?  

Answer
Hi Paul,

There are so many laws going into effect in an attempt to stop cruel battery cages, veal crates and gestation crates that it would be difficult to answer this question as they are state by state and there are thousands of policy makers and animal rights people trying to make changes.

Here is a link that should help answer your questions -

Policies are changing every day, and laws are changing as well so trying to answer this broad question would be nearly impossible :)  The link should help!

I can answer almost all questions about animals raised for food... and the horrifying truths of the abuse and torture these animals endure. Also, about the health ramifications of eating animals or their products, i.e. heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and a host of other diseases linked to our diets. Any questions on existing on a plant based diet, solely, raw diet and the health benefits.
