Today, CIWF operates at an international level. The decision to expand our campaign focus from the UK and the EU was partially a natural progression, and partially an urgent compulsion - due to the forces of globalisation.
Today, factory farming and the long distance transport of live animals are rapidly spreading outside the walls of industrialised countries, the result of a dramatic worldwide rise in the demand for meat, egg and dairy produce. Before the 1990s the vast majority of animal products were consumed in rich countries, yet in the last decade many in developing nations have also adopted what was once known as the Western diet. And with clear indications that this transition in eating patterns will not only continue but accelerate during the next two decades, CIWF is actively campaigning for urgent reform.
