Animals in food systems
Our campaigns
Factory farming is the largest source of animal cruelty in the world. Factory farming or intensive animal farming is the intense and confined farming of animals such as pigs, cows, and birds. The majority of animals farmed for food live in conditions that cause suffering and stress.
Chickens are the most abused animals in the world and billions of them are suffering daily. They deserve better. You might ask – ‘why should I care about the suffering of chickens?’. The straight answer is – you should.
Cows and buffaloes deserve a better life. We can make it happen. An estimated 50 million dairy animals suffer every day in India and a significant number of these suffer the worst cruelty as they live in unacceptable conditions in these urban and peri-urban dairies.
A great way to continue helping farmed animals daily is to eat more plant foods and fewer animal proteins. But, unfortunately, the immense scale at which we produce and consume meat today has negative implications on our health and the planet.
Roughly three-quarters of all antibiotics sold each year are marketed for use in farm animals rather than humans. People are dying. Antibiotics are becoming ineffective. What's happening? Check out this page to know more.
Ever wondered what lifelong isolation looks like? Poor chickens who have become mere sources of business and food to this cruel world live it every day until dead but, we can still help them. Your one-minute signup can give them a better life. ACT NOW!

Farm animals need you
Factory farming is the largest source of animal cruelty in the world.
The majority of animals farmed for food live in conditions that cause suffering and stress. It is time to rethink farming. Treatment of farm animals is the world’s biggest animal welfare issue – and it’s getting bigger. By 2050, livestock production will be twice what it was in 2000. Right now, more than 70 billion animals are farmed for food each year – two-thirds in conditions that mean they can’t move freely or live naturally. We campaign for progress at every stage – from farming to transportation to slaughter.
