My one objection here is that "factory farming" isn't significantly different in an ethical sense from any other kind of animal farming. The solution, however, is very simple and (should be) obvious: just stop eating animals. If more people would get over their ingrained bad habits and do that, it would not only reduced the horrendous suffering on a vast scale, but would also vastly improve their own health and happiness, as well as solving serious environmental problems. It's easy. It's legal. It's safe. It's healthy. You can do it all by yourself and make a difference (even if you're not solving 100% of the worldwide problem). And it's the least any decent human being should do.

I think it's good that this is a common topic on your blog, and you should continue regularly posting about it to inform new readers.

Your articles have definitely inspired me to reduce my animal product consumption and I will be becoming vegan in the near future.
