Compassion in World Farming International

Registered Charity No: 1095050 (England & Wales).

Compassion in World Farming International is the leading charity exclusively dedicated to improving farmed animal welfare.

Why factory farming must end

Around 92 billion animals are farmed worldwide every year and the majority of these are in intensive systems, making factory farming the biggest cause of animal cruelty on the planet. For over 50 years, Compassion and our supporters have been campaigning to end the suffering of farmed animals. We helped achieve a lifetime ban on live exports for fattening and slaughter from or through England, Wales and Scotland. In the UK, and across Europe, we helped to ban both the barren battery cage for hens and the veal crate, and stopped sows spending their entire pregnancy in a cage. But with so many animals still trapped in factory farms, there is a lot that needs to be done.

What we are doing

Through high-profile public campaigns, investigations, lobbying and research, we influence policy making to improve the lives of billions of animals. We also engage positively with the food sector, manufacturers and retailers to adopt higher animal welfare standards in their supply chains.

How you can help make a difference

Without the generosity of those who leave a gift in their Will to Compassion, around a quarter of our work would not be possible. Legacies are absolutely vital, helping to end the caging, overcrowding and abuse of farmed animals. Let your vision of a cruelty free future live on by remembering Compassion in World Farming International in your Will. For more information, visit: www.ciwf.org.uk/legacy
