Compassion in World Farming campaigns peacefully to end cruel factory farming practices. These systems impose unnecessary suffering on billions of farm animals reared for food around the world. Farm animal welfare and wellbeing is at the heart of all we do and all our campaigning is founded on scientific fact.
THE LEADING FARM ANIMAL WELFARE CHARITY
Compassion in World Farming was founded over 40 years ago in 1967 by a British farmer who became horrified by the development of modern, intensive factory farming.
Today we campaign peacefully to end all cruel factory farming practices. We believe that the biggest cause of cruelty on the planet deserves a focused, specialised approach – so we only work on farm animal welfare.
We are immensely proud of what we have achieved so far:
Our award winning undercover investigations have exposed the reality of modern intensive farming systems and brought the plight of farm animals to the attention of the world's media
Our political lobbying and campaigning has resulted in the EU recognising animals as sentient beings, capable of feeling pain and suffering. We have also secured landmark agreements to outlaw the barren battery cage for egg-laying hens, narrow veal crates and sow stalls across Europe
Our Good Egg Awards will benefit over 15 million laying hens every year. Winners so far include Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Sainsbury's, McDonald’s, Unilever (including Hellmann’s mayonnaise in the UK) and the National Trust – all of whom won a Good Egg Award for sourcing only barn or free-range eggs, instead of eggs from caged hensRead more about our achievements and history >>
There are however, still many challenges we have to face if we are to realise our vision of a world where all farm animals are treated with compassion and respect and where cruel factory farming practices end.
We believe that farm animals should not and need not suffer. If you agree, please consider supporting us today. You will literally help us improve the lives of billions.
