This is urgent. It’s time to end cruelty to animals in factory farming.
No Future for Factory Farming
World Animal Protection UK
Our work
Worldwide, billions of farmed animals endure lifetimes of misery.
They’re reared in unhealthy conditions, subjected to horrific cruelty and then slaughtered.
Shockingly, 80% of farmed animals in the UK spend their lives in vast factory farms, where they’re abused and exploited to produce cheap meat and quick profits.
Cruelty to animals in factory farming is rife. Pigs’ teeth and tails are clipped without pain relief. Chickens are bred to grow so fast their organs can’t keep up. Cows are trapped in sheds and never get to roam free.
Factory farming isn’t just a crime against animals. It drives climate change, destroys the natural world and leads to deadly superbugs – putting our future at risk.
No Future for Factory Farming
Through our campaigns, we’re opening more and more people’s eyes to the cruelty so many farmed animals face, and inspiring them to take action.
By speaking out together, challenging harmful practices and pushing for humane alternatives, we can move the world to ensure animals in farming have good lives.
From 2021-30, we have three big goals:
Farming
Everyday, pigs, cows and chickens are abused and crammed in together with hundreds of others. These animals have thoughts, feelings and personalities. We must treat them with humility and respect.
Farming
Factory farming is driven by money and a growing demand for cheap meat, eggs and dairy, and animals are paying the price. Together, we can change the way farming works.
Farming
From superbugs and new diseases to poor diets and toxic pollution, intensive agriculture causes untold damage to people and communities. The impacts of factory farming on our health are serious and shocking.
Farming
Factory farming is endangering our planet. Our research has shown that it drives deforestation and habitat destruction, and causes greenhouse gas emissions that are fuelling the climate crisis.
This decade, we’re determined to transform our food system for people, animals and the planet. We’re working towards a future where all farmed animals are treated with dignity and respect. Where they can breathe outdoor air, taste fresh grass, move freely and socialise with others.
By supporting high welfare, sustainable agriculture, we can protect our health and our planet too – reducing the risk of disease, helping wildlife to flourish and supporting our climate.
