THE HUMANE LEAGUE UK 

We work relentlessly to end the abuse of animals raised for food. With a dedicated team of volunteers, activists, donors, and organisers by our side, we influence companies to create and implement animal welfare policies that reduce the suffering of billions of animals. We empower people to leave animals off their plates in exchange for compassionate, plant-based food choices.
