Rewrite the story for pigs and all farmed animals

Across the UK and around the world, millions of animals are trapped in factory farms - experiencing painful procedures and awful practices every day. Together, we can change this.

Pigs and other animals are suffering

Pigs are as smart and as emotionally complex as the dogs we welcome into our homes. Yet the law still allows them to be mutilated, caged, and killed in distressing ways. Factory farming doesn’t only affect pigs. Hens are still confined in cages. Calves are separated from their mothers far too soon. Rabbits are locked in bare cages. Chicks have their beaks trimmed. All of them deserve better – and your support can help give them a better life.

We're making progress but we must do more

Pigs are being born into systems that deny them everything that makes life worth living – and many will never know anything else. The decisions we make now will shape the food system of tomorrow. With your help, we can stop cruelty, protect future generations of animals, and demand a farming model that respects animals, people, and the planet. Donate now to help end farm animal cruelty.

Why are you so crucial right now?

Together, we've helped ban sow stalls in the UK. We're challenging cage use across the EU. We've exposed cruelty through investigations and helped shape laws that improve the lives of millions of farmed animals. But factory farming continues – and it’s growing. Without your continued support, the progress we’re making is at risk.

Our promise to you is to use your gift in the most effective manner possible to end factory farming:

  • Save Animals. Factory farming is the bigget cause of animal cruelty on the planet.
  • Save Our Planet. Factory farming intensifies climate change.
  • Save Wildlife. Factory farming threatens the survival of many animals and plants.

Together, we can pioneer abundant, sustainable food that is free from animal suffering, now and for generations to come.
