Animal Welfare

Animal cruelty takes on many forms and collectively affects billions of sentient beings. According to the United Nations, the number of industrial livestock sent to slaughter each year is equivalent to eight times the human population on planet Earth. Millions of animals are used for testing. In the UK thousands of pets are abandoned. At no other time in history have so many animals died, or suffered so much throughout their lives.

Factory farming is the main cause of animal suffering and abuse. These silent victims have been converted into machines that generate meat, milk, and eggs.
