A right to life and freedom

One world. Many lives. Our choice.

We easily recognise that animals such as cats and dogs deserve our kindness and respect, yet we farm animals who are equally intelligent and sensitive. While we care for some animals and not others, there are many reasons why we should care for them all: Every animal is an individual with their own unique feelings and preferences, yet farmed animals have short, manipulated lives where they are used as commodities. Piglets, calves, lambs and chicks spend much time playing, learning,chasing and exploring. Adults forage, graze, explore their home range and interact socially, while pigs and chickens also bathe and build nests. Even higher welfare farms deny animals many of their natural behaviours. The maternal bond between a cow and her calf is strong and long-lasting. Calves naturally wean at 8-9 months and remain with their mothers until more than a year old. Factory, organic and free-range farming all take young calves from their mothers, so that we can drink the milk that is meant for them.

You can make a compassionate choice that respects their life and freedom - take the Vegan Pledge for a week, a fortnight or a month and experience a cruelty free lifestyle for yourself.
