forced to endure inhumane conditions that are below our radar.
Below are some current campaigns led by the Humane

Did you know that the largest contributor to climate change is
the factory farm method of raising livestock?

"According
to reports by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
U.N. and others, factory farming has made animal agriculture
the No. 1 contributor to global warming (it is significantly
more destructive than transportation alone), and one of
the Top 2 or 3 causes of all the most serious environmental
problems, both global and local: air and water pollution,
deforestation, loss of biodiversity ... Eating factory-farmed
animals - which is to say virtually every piece of meat
sold in supermarkets and prepared in restaurants - is almost
certainly the single worst thing that humans do to the environment." |
