Animals raised for food are social and intelligent individuals, as capable of feeling pain and frustration, joy and excitement as the dogs and cats we welcome into our families.
Unfortunately, a growing trend in many countries is to raise the animals used for meat, eggs, and dairy in animal factories, or factory farms, where their welfare often suffers as a result of intensive confinement, mutilations without painkillers, and inhumane slaughter practices.
Humane Society International is fighting to stop the spread of these cruel systems and encourage countries to adopt policies that improve the welfare of animals used for food.
