FACTORY FARMING
Factory farming
In the UK alone, approximately 1,000 million animals are slaughtered for food each year. This figure doesn’t include fish, who are killed in such vast numbers that they are counted in tonnes.
The vast majority of farmed animals are fattened in the dirty, cramped conditions of a factory farm - their lives filled with stress and suffering. All will have died a violent death at the slaughterhouse.
Animal Aid campaigns for better animal welfare in order to lessen the suffering farmed animals endure. But, above all, we promote the adoption of an animal-free diet as the best single step anyone can take to stop cruelty to animals.
Markets
So long as animals are raised and slaughtered for meat and dairy products, Animal Aid believes that they should be spared the wholly unnecessary additional suffering of a day at market.
