Compassion in World Farming Farm Animal Welfare
Compassion in World Farming believes that farm animals should not and need not suffer. 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 the organisation campaigns peacefully to end all cruel factory farming practices. It believes that the biggest cause of cruelty on the planet deserves a focussed, specialised approach – so only works on farm animal welfare.
General Information:Compassion in World Farming is immensely proud of what it has achieved so far:
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.
Political lobbying and campaigning has resulted in the EU recognising animals as sentient beings, capable of feeling pain and suffering. They have also secured landmark agreements to outlaw the barren battery cage for egg–laying hens, narrow veal crates and sow stalls across Europe.
The 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 hens.
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.
