	Animal Awareness / Factory Farming
		Almost all animals are now raised in factory farms where most animals never see the light of day, know the smell of fresh air, never spread their wings, or are able to even turn around.
		The term for an animal that can no longer stand is a "downed animal." These animals are often kicked, prodded, and even pulled off of the trucks by their necks, oftentimes breaking their necks or inducing other injuries.
		The Downed Animal Amendment of the 2002 Farm Bill passed both the House and the Senate, but was stopped in the conference committee who was supposed to only iron out differences between the House and Senate version of the Farm Bill.

		All kinds of animals (from cats and dogs to poultry to civet cats to pangolins to you name it it's there) wounded and dying with broken limbs and guts hanging out, lying in heaps or being prodded with barbecue forks from place to place.
		Animal dealers lounge about, playing mah-jongg, while their merchandise wiggles, claws and writhes in stacked cages, red plastic tubs of water or large mesh bags set on the concrete floor.
		Many of the animals are obviously sick, and some had chewed off their limbs in apparent attempts to escape chains or traps.

	Animal Factory - A film by Steve Buscemi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Then there's the fact that the 43-year-old's second film, the intense prison drama, Animal Factory, hasn't even had a proper release because its financiers are currently rowing with its distributors.
		Animal Factory is about a tough, bright con, Earl (Willem Dafoe), who takes a pretty rich kid, Ron (Edward Furlong), under his wing and spends the rest of the film wondering if he should save the kid or just screw him.
		Both Trees Lounge and Animal Factory have a teenager attempting to escape their violent, male-dominated, drug-dominated environment — Buscemi himself seems to be in two minds whether to stay.

	Why Vegan -- Factory Farms
		The worldwide trend is to replace small family farms with “factory farms”—large warehouses where animals are confined in crowded cages or pens or in restrictive stalls.
		Free-range animals, like all animals used for their milk and eggs, are still slaughtered at a fraction of their normal life expectancy.
		So it’s not surprising that an animal as sensitive and intelligent as a pig would get depressed, and a depressed pig will allow his tail to be chewed on to the point of infection.

	Family Farms, not Factory Farms - Reports and Factsheets - Factory Farms - Sierra Club
		Chicken and hog waste from factory farms in Maryland and North Carolina have washed into the Chesapeake Bay and North Carolina rivers, triggering outbreaks of the toxic microbe pfiesteria that have sickened people and killed millions of fish.
		And animal waste flowing from the Mississippi River has helped create a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico that has grown to the size of New Jersey.
		Factory farms are displacing the local family farm and rapidly altering a way of life for many rural communities.

		Steve Buscemi's "Animal Factory" trades freely on all those elements of the genre, and at times it's jaggedly revealing.
		"Animal Factory" is a tough little movie, occasionally bloody and grim: At one point a prisoner slices into his arm with a razor blade, collecting the spurting blood and smearing it all over his body; he also mixes something that looks like excrement into his food and eats it.
		Mostly, though, "Animal Factory" throws off a disquieting vagueness; you come away with the sense that you should have come to care (or at least to know) more about its central characters than you do.

	DVD & Movie Reviews: Animal Factory
		Animal Factory - directed by Steve Buscemi - is a movie that falls in between the two camps and, like a loner inside prison, struggles to make an impact.
		Animal Factory has an almost continuous threat of violence that has you biting your nails, but never explodes into a movie you can say "wow" about afterwards.
		Animal Factory is worth watching, but don't expect another Shawshank.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Animal Factory
		Animal Factory, a grim prison drama, comes not from his own life experiences, but from those of Edward Bunker, the author of the book on which it's based.
		Bunker, who has a small role in Animal Factory, and Trejo, who plays one of the leads, ultimately served as producers, ensuring that the film would be as authentic as possible.
		Animal Factory may not redefine the prison drama but, at a lean 94 minutes, it provides some gritty insight into a world and into some characters that, under different circumstances, could have been anyone of us.

	Movie Review - Animal Factory - Hollywood Bitchslap
		'Animal Factory' is no different and nothing special, but the two leads should keep you watching.
		Stalking round, shaven-headed (looking much nastier than he did in Spider-Man) he gives an ambigious, edgy performance of someone whose motives and actions are good on the outside, but there's always a feeling that there's something else going on behind the narrowed eyes.
		As well as Furlong and Defoe, 'Animal Factory' is notable for two of the strangest casting decisions you're likely to see in a long time.

	ShowBIZ Data: ANIMAL FACTORY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Animal Factory is a small, edgy, character-driven film, just the kind of movie that actor Steve Buschemi would be likely to turn up in.
		But this time, he’s on the other side of the camera in the director’s seat and he does a pretty fine job of it.
		In both cases, there is a fall from grace and a loss of innocence and it’s these elements that Buscemi emphasizes in Animal Factory.

		Animal Factory makes an incredible breath of fresh air from that sort of thing by telling an actual story, rather than a by-the-numbers, violence-fest.
		Animal Factory is a dialogue movie, so there isn't much action in the soundfield.
		Animal Farm is a top notch drama that deserves at least a rental.

	DVD Times - Animal Factory
		Animal Factory makes you feel like you're seeing the reality of a tough jail rather than an exaggeration for the sake of melodrama, thrills or preaching.
		In an odd way, though the characters aren't gay, Animal Factory is a love story and a quietly touching one.
		Still, Animal Factory is thought-provoking stuff and one of the most intelligent and gripping dramas so far this year.

	ANIMAL FACTORY
		There are other forces at work in Factory, but the bulk of the story focuses on the relationship between Decker and Copen.
		Furlong looks uncomfortable and uncommitted in his role (though that could be intentional, as I would probably appear the same way upon introduction into the penal system), but the hairless Dafoe steals the show with a fierce physical performance that is just as strong as his Oscar-nominated turn in Shadow of the Vampire.
		Like most films directed by actors, Factory is packed full of strong performances, even from the minor players (save possibly Mickey Rourke, who is in the kind of role here that makes you say, “Hey, isn't Mickey Rourke supposed to be in...Oh my God, is that him?”).

	Animal Factory - Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		For the record, we note that Animal Factory co-star/co-producer Danny Trejo and Cranky have history.
		Five years back (we said there was a pattern) Trejo worked in another movie whose intent was to show the true corrupting effect of prison and how wrongheaded moves by prison officials established a network of organized in-prison crime (drug dealing and hits for hire) that would throttle California and the South West.
		We're not going to spill what happens to Ron Decker (Edward Furlong) in Steve Buscemi's Animal Factory, a film meant to show the corruption of the innocent (yadda yadda) while avoiding the stereotypes of prison films.

	Ducks-Yet Another Animal Factory Victim
		Despite misrepresentations by duck factory operators, the Muscovy duck is indeed a species of waterfowl and does require full body access to water.
		A summary of the study released by Ralph Ernst, Extension Poultry Specialist at the UC Davis, confirmed that Grimaud is indeed an industrial duck factory.
		Following consultations with avian veterinarians from the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights and the Muscovy duck expert at the University of Miami, AWI determined that the study, if enacted as written, is far from humane.

		Animal Factory is based on the novel ‘The Animal Factory’ written by Edward Bunker and it is directed by Steve Buscemi, who also acts in the film.
		Animal Factory is an interesting prison drama, and there are some good performances to be seen in this film, namely by Willem Dafoe, Tom Arnold and Mickey Rourke, but personally I don’t think this has anything on The Big House, a short film written and directed by our own Rachel Ward.
		An excellent piece of work which has just as much impact as Animal Factory but achieves it in 1/3 the time.

	ANIMAL FACTORY - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A minor work in the canons of all involved, Animal Factory, now available on tape and disc, is a nonetheless solid sophomore effort from actor-director Steve Buscemi.
		Yes, Animal Factory's metaphors have been served up before, and at its edgiest it still doesn't have the voyeuristic appeal of HBO's "Oz", save for the perfunctory rape attempt and the sight of Mickey Rourke in drag (as Ron's transvestite cellmate).
		Columbia Tri-Star's outstanding presentation of Animal Factory on DVD is letterboxed at 1.78:1 and enhanced for 16x9 displays, immediately belying the film's straight-to-cable origins.

		As is the case with any prison film, Animal Factory has some recycled themes, but I found it to be very entertaining and powerful.
		I think the material (written by Edward Bunker, who has served real prison time) could have used a little shine work at times, but the superb cast elevates it a lot and that helps to keep the movie out of mediocre status.
		Animal Factory is presented in a 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer.

	: Animal Factory - DVD film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Steve Buscemi's 'Animal Factory' is the most civilized prison film I've ever seen.
		More realistic than most prison dramas tend to be, Animal Factory shows a picture of prison life that is much less shocking and brutal than we're used to see in this kind of film, and focuses more on the difficulties of actual day-to-day survival.
		A very slow and intimate movie, Animal Factory is not much of a masterpiece but it shows a lot of potential and promise for Steve Buscemi as a director.

	BBC - Films - review - Animal Factory
		Masterfully handled by Buscemi, who prepared by directing an episode of gritty US TV prison drama Oz, "Animal Factory" is a brave successor to the indie charm of "Trees Lounge".
		Like Bunker's gripping novel, the film rests on the suspenseful question of whether or not Ron's friendship with Earl is destined to remain platonic, or if the older con (who quite openly tells his young charge he thinks he's attractive) will turn on him.
		There's little else in "Animal Factory" that's quite so original, but to label it second-hand is unfair, given how many other movies have plundered Bunker's novel for their depictions of life behind bars.

	BBC - collective - animal factory
		As actor/directors often do, Buscemi inspires top performances from his leads, whose uneasy homoerotic father/son relationship propels the film past its familiarly gritty setting.
		Still reliant on prison cliché, Animal Factory thankfully has that Buscemi touch that makes it, well, a little more odd.

		Like "The Shawshank Redemption" in Brad Davis-ville, "Animal Factory" is a hard-edged prison drama with some top notch performances and an intriguing tale to boot.
		Similar to "Shawshank", "Animal Factory" is a far-less-established outing, but never the less interesting.
		Still for what we do have, "Animal Factory" is well worth a looksee.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Animal Factory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The 1997 novel Animal Factory was written by ex-con Eddie Bunker, the prison laureate who achieved cinematic notoriety after taking on the supporting role of Mr.
		Adapting the novel into a screenplay, Bunker asked his Dogs co-star Steve Buscemi to direct the picture, which Bunker and Danny Trejo (another inmate-turned-actor) were producing.
		Animal Factory is worth seeing for the actors, but overall it's a mixed bag — if you didn't know already that going to jail is a bad thing (unless you like being anally raped), there's nothing new here.

		The film focuses on the Defoe character, a long time inmate who "owns this jail", and his relationships with other inmates, prison employees, and especially a new pretty boy convict played by Furlong.

		After Ron's appeal is denied, ensuring his place in the penitentiary for five more years, Earl thinks up a dangerous plan of escape that will either set them free or cost them their lives in the process.
		Buscemi's drama successfully balances the brutality of prison life with the touching, intimate relationship between Ron and Earl, providing ANIMAL FACTORY with a sensitivity that most prison films rarely contain.
		"...Buscemi's ANIMAL FACTORY is distinguished from top to bottom with actors as intensely committed as he is....Maintained throughout is an almost eerie atmosphere of tension barely contained by stoicism, even a kind of grace..."
