Going Veggie for the Animals

Hundreds of animals will have been slaughtered for food while you read this page. In the UK alone, approximately 1,000 million animals are killed each year, not including fish. That’s around 2.7 million every single day.

The vast majority of these animals will have been born and raised in the dark, dirty, cramped conditions of a factory farm, their lives filled with pain and suffering. All will have died a violent death at the slaughterhouse.

Animals are treated by the farming and meat industries as if they are unfeeling machines, alive only to generate maximum profit. But each fish, chicken, lamb, cow or pig is a sentient being capable of experiencing pain, fear, discomfort and distress.
