DESCRIPTION:Most students at Stanford University have probably never been to a factory 
 farm, so peta2—PETA’s youth division—is bringing factory farms to 
 them. As part of a national college tour, the group will set up a 
 20-foot-by-30-foot tent, inside of which students can confine themselves to 
 sow gestation crates—which are so small that pregnant pigs can’t even 
 turn around or take two steps—and watch “Face Your Food,” a video 
 exposé of the meat industry narrated by Peter Dinklage. Students will also 
 receive samples of vegan foods and free vegetarian/vegan starter kits with 
 recipes and tips for helping the Earth, animals, and their own health by 
 going meat- and dairy-free.\n\nWhere: White Plaza, Stanford University 
 campus, Stanford\n\nWhen: Monday, May 19, and Tuesday, May 20, 10 a.m.–3 
 p.m.\n\n“College is a time to consider new ideas, and peta2′s 
 factory-farm display gives students an idea of how much suffering goes into 
 a chicken nugget or a beef burger,” says peta2 Director Marta Holmberg. 
 “Once students see what cows, chickens, and other animals go through on 
 factory farms, in transit, and in slaughterhouses, they’ll want to load 
 up their cafeteria trays with humane vegan selections.”\n\nChickens, 
 pigs, cows, and fish feel pain and fear just as intensely as do the animals 
 who share our homes with us, yet they’re abused in ways that would be 
 illegal if dogs and cats were the victims. Chickens and turkeys have their 
 throats cut while they’re still conscious, piglets are castrated and have 
 their tails cut off without being given any painkillers, and calves raised 
 for their milk have their horns burned out of their skulls. On the decks of 
 fishing boats, fish suffocate or are cut open while they’re still 
 alive.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/05/16/18755870.php
