Farm animal welfare USA vs UK

FYI Ractopamine is a muscle growth drug banned in 160 countries

We fact-checked. All accurate, bar:
• hot branding is legal in the UK
• max livestock journey times in USA (without break) is 28hours, not 36
• farrowing crates, sow stalls, barren battery cages now banned in 10 US states
