A question on animal rights and anarchy.

One notable exclusion to the anarchist argument (which is the finest argument, have no doubt!) is the question of animal rights. In the event of the working class overthrowing the boss class and re-structuring the work places and communities based on equal share of wealth, equality, liberty et all ... What would happen to factory farms, fish farms, slaughterhouses, butchers shops and other places of exploitation towards the animal kingdom?
What would happen to the establishments of exploitation and the workers of said places? Would they just be re-structured according to anarchist principles or would they be torn down?...
And what of the animals who have always suffered in every way more than their human counterparts ... how would they enjoy the new anarchist state of liberty?

I'm just a bit puzzled on this one ... help me out people.

cheers.
