Livestock in CAFOs are often found living in filthy, unhygienic conditions, stimulating the
spread of diseases—such as avian flu, foot and mouth disease, and mad cow disease—among
20 other animals on the farm. In order to combat this, farmers must give the animals antibiotics.
In many cases, however, antibiotics are used for disease prevention instead of treatment. In
addition to being used to combat the spread of disease, antibiotics are also commonly used to
encourage faster growth in livestock. This overuse increases the risk of livestock developing
immunity to antibiotics, ironically making animals even more susceptible to disease. After
25 being digested, these antibiotics are released back into the environment in the form of milk,
meat, and waste, which can affect the people who eat these products or the environment
that absorbs them.
CAFOs also negatively impact the environment in the form of air and water pollution. Factory
farms contribute to air pollution issues in the United States through the release of toxic gases
30 and vapors and by burning fossil fuels to run farm machinery. These farms also have notable
consequences for the environment in terms of water pollution. One characteristic of CAFOs
that creates water pollution is the presence of a lagoon. Lagoons are artificial storage basins
where animal excrement is temporarily contained; periodically, farmers flush this waste into
ditches or nearby bodies of water. This waste combines with runoff from fertilized fields to
35 pollute the water sources surrounding CAFOs. It adds excess nutrients, pathogens, veterinary
pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and excreted hormones to the water sources. Such pollutants
not only affect aquatic life, but can lead to severe impacts on human health.
In order to combat the unfair treatment of animals and the risks to environmental and human
50 health, CAFOs should be placed under stricter guidelines. One such regulation would force
factory farms to adhere to air and water quality protection standards from which they have
previously been exempted, like those set forth by the Clean Water Act. Enforcing these
standards would lead to banning environmental hazards such as waste lagoons, which in turn
would reduce environmental pollution and human health liabilities.
55 Some have suggested that due to these environmental and human health concerns, factory
farms should be banned outright. Advocates for CAFOs, however, argue that factory farming
allows for lower production costs that translate into lower food prices for consumers. Organic
and free-range products, they argue, do not allow for the large-scale production of livestock;
62. Based on information in the passage, it can be inferred that animals raised on CAFOs live
indoors because
I. animals that live indoors require fewer antibiotics than animals raised outside
II. some animals raised inside produce more appealing meat
III. animals raised indoors are less expensive to maintain

63. The author describes CAFOs as having a negative impact on the environment for all of the
following reasons except
(a) animal waste pollutes water sources near factory farms
(b) exhaust from farm machinery contributes to air pollution
(c) animals that live in overcrowded environments waste energy
(d) fertilizer-rich runoff from farms contaminates the environment
64. Which of the following statements from paragraph 5 represents an opinion, as opposed to
a fact?
(a) “Factory farming uses more land than any other agricultural or industrial enterprise in
the country.”
(b) “It has been estimated that the grain used to feed livestock in the United States alone
could feed up to 800 million people in one year.”
(c) “Producing equivalent amounts of protein from chicken meat and soybeans does not
require equivalent amounts of energy.”
(d) “Grain and energy supplies should be used more efficiently to produce food sources
other than livestock.”
65. Which of the following pieces of information, if true, would best strengthen the author’s
argument in paragraph 6?
(a) People who reduce their intake of meat raised on factory farms reduce their chances of
developing high blood pressure and heart conditions.
(b) A town in North Carolina that used to be situated next to a animal waste lagoon
reported 50% fewer cases of respiratory illness after the lagoon was shut down.
(c) Factory farms that are forced to adhere to air and water quality protection standards
often report a 30% decrease in annual profits.
(d) Several animal rights groups have supported bills to force factory farms to abide by
greater environmental protection standards.

(b) founders
(c) supporters

can mean the difference between having enough to eat or not.
(c) Factory farm owners pay taxes just like everyone else, and therefore they should be
allowed input in the creation and modification of environmental policy.
(d) If farms move toward producing more organic products, food prices will likely go up.
