Furthermore, the SRAP introduces the farmer, Frank Reese, and the way he raises his turkeys. He explains “...unlike the poultry raised in factory farms, Frank’s birds are allowed to exhibit natural behaviors. They can roam freely and reproduce naturally. Factory farm-produced turkeys, Frank says, cannot reproduce normally and have to be artificially inseminated. Industrial broiler chickens get so fat that their feathers don’t fully cover their skin.” This quote alone explains how urban farming is ethically more mature than factory farming. On a factory farm, as the research in the article states, the animals don't have as much freedom to be taken care of equally. The animals are cooped up, raised, and killed all in about 3 months for each turkey.
