A mother pig’s most natural urge is to build a nest for her babies. In a factory farm, she can barely reach them from within the cage that confines her. Chickens born into the meat industry reach ‘slaughter weight’ from just five weeks old. Selective breeding created this explosive growth rate – and all the pain and suffering that goes along with it.
Something has gone terribly wrong with our relationship with animals. Systems of suffering that caring people would never have agreed to if they’d known the truth, have become the norm. But there is nothing normal about ‘life’ in a factory farm.
This Christmas – a peak time of animal suffering around the world – we’re bringing these animals out of the shadows.
Across TV screens and city streets nationwide, the harsh reality of life in factory farms will be unveiled, empowering people to see that their choices hold the key to creating a kinder world for these animals.
