We believe that farm animals should not and need not suffer.
About us
Compassion in World Farming was founded 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.

In case you missed it: Slovenia is planning to ban cages for hens and is considering taking action against cages for mother pigs too. Slovenia's ban on cages for hens is planned to take place by 2028 - we'll share more details as soon as we have them. This move puts more pressure on the EU Commission, and other countries all around the world, to #EndTheCageAge! Which country do you want to see take action to ban cages next?

"It's time for the government to rethink its approach to food advertising. Instead of promoting meat, we should be encouraged to adopt healthier, more sustainable diets for the sake of our health and the planet." - Philip Lymbery
