Factory farminganimals have been slaughtered for food while you have been reading this page. In the UK alone, approximately 900 million animals are slaughtered for food each year - not including fish. That's around 2.5 million every single day. The vast majority of these animals will have been born and raised in the dark, dirty, cramped conditions a factory farm, their lives filled with pain and suffering. All will have died a violent death at the slaughterhouse. Animal Aid exposes the horrific conditions in Britain's factory farms, and campaigns for better animal welfare in order to lessen the suffering they endure whilst alive. Read our series of factfiles on the suffering of farmed animals and send for a markets action pack. But above all, we promote vegetarianism and veganism as the best way anyone can help to stop cruelty to animals. For more information check our 8 good reasons to go veggie and our guide to going dairy-free. Every March is Veggie Month, a celebration of the cruelty-free diet, in which an increasing number of health centres, retailers and libraries now participate. Our special Veggie Month pages are packed full of information - from health and nutrition to animal welfare and the environment - plus the Go Veggie video, free veggie packs and much more. |
