fight factory farms

99% of food comes from intensive conditions

Corporations hide cruelty in sheds and feedlots, they want us to think of happy, small farms - a nostalgia for something that doesn't exist. Yes, there are small farms, but we eat 33 billion animals each year in the US, and 85 billion worldwide. That is not grown on a local farm.The rise of factory farms is tied with the rise of meat consumption and number of animals killed each year. Factory farms started in the 1950s - in 1961, the average person ate 6.6 chickens a year, in 2023, they ate 22.6. That's 528 vs 1808 lives over 80 years.

help even more animals

If you like the idea of donating to dog/cat shelters, consider donating to help farmed animals in factory farms. Dogs and cats get a large percentage of animal welfare funds, so $$ is very much needed and goes a long way!From pushing corporations to use more humane practices to working with governments for macro change - these orgs are fighting for organizational change and could help an incredible number of animals. Per dollar, your money will help more animals when donating to fight factory farms.For example, $25 a month saves 583 animals a year!
