DEATH ON A FACTORY FARM

Each year, ten billion animals are raised for consumption in the U.S., mostly on sprawling, industrialized farms, where virtually no federal laws mandate how the animals are treated - though guidelines exist - and state laws are ineffective.  As a result, animals are frequently subjected to what many consider cruel treatment and inhumane conditions in the interest of economic efficiency.  DEATH ON A FACTORY FARM chronicles an investigation into alleged abuses that took place at a hog farm in Creston, Ohio when it debuts MONDAY, MARCH 16 (10:00-11:30 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.  T

Produced by Tom Simon (a seven-time Emmy® winner) and Sarah Teale, producer of the 2006 HBO special "Dealing Dogs," which received two Emmy® nominations, including Best Documentary.
