Be Part of Lasting Change

Compassion’s campaigns have already seen the beginning of the end for many of the worst aspects of factory farming – the banning of barren battery cage for hens; the end to near-permanent confinement of sows; the abolition of the horrifically restrictive veal crate. The EU has listened to our voice and enacted legislation on all these issues. Our pragmatic engagement with global food companies to commit to improved animals welfare policies in their supply chains is set to benefit over 2 billion farm animals every year.

Your support will help enable Compassion in World Farming to deliver our upcoming ambitious goals:

  • Continue building support for a ban on cages to press European Parliament and UK government to enact legislation to end caged farming.
  • Campaign to end live animal exports.
  • Ensure a UK ban on routine preventative antibiotic use on farms.
  • Ensure legal protection for the UK’s farm animals after Brexit, including recognition of animal sentience in UK law.
  • Press for species-specific EU legislation to protect the welfare of fish, particularly at slaughter.
  • Engage with large food service companies in the US and Europe and producers in China to commit to improving farm animal welfare in their supply chain to benefit 2 billion animals every year.
  • Work at the UN-level to secure a global agreement for mandatory targets for governments to recued meat consumption and move towards regenerative farming.
