Compassion for animals that share this world with us

Animals share this beautiful planet with us and unfortunately
they often pay a terrible price for our lifestyle.

I share here with you a call from

Dear Hettienne,

These pigs in China were living in a totally barren, dark shed – stuffed into tiny stalls, lined up as if they were sausages already in a packet. One sow was so large she could not fit into her crate. Her hind legs were resting on the back of the pig in the neighbouring stall and her own back was pressed hard against the bars. The suffering was palpable.
One of the farmers told us that the pigs’ manure went straight into the river. The bright green, polluted waterway at the back of the farmhouse suggested that he was telling the truth.
BREAKING NEWS: All donations up to £47,750 will be doubled
This is just one example of the horrors I uncovered during my global investigation into the factory farming crisis. I found overflowing farm waste making water-supplies undrinkable and polluting the air so much that it was causing families to become ill; the environment being completely trashed to grow feed for factory farmed animals; and animals all over the world enduring a terrible conveyor belt of cruelty.
As you may know, my investigation has just been released as Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat by Bloomsbury – one of the world’s most influential publishers. Thanks to the support of people like you, the evidence we’ve gathered is also opening new doors among politicians, journalists and members of the public. This is our chance to say ‘enough is enough’ to the tidal wave of destruction caused by factory farming. But we must keep up the momentum. Will you help?
I am pleased to tell you that we have already spoken with several other Compassion supporters who are willing to match every donation Compassion receives for the fight against farmageddon, up to a massive £47,750. This means that for every £1 you donate today, another £1 could be released. This is an amazing opportunity for you to do twice as much to help farm animals.
If we work together we can:
  • Phase out cruel cages and crates that inhumanely confine animals
  • Fight to make key policy changes to improve animals’ lives
  • Expose the funding that props up factory farming
  • Challenge food companies to remove factory farming from their supply chain
  • Build a groundswell movement for change.
We must not stop until every child is born into a world that understands that humane, sustainable farming is the only way to feed our growing population.
Please, if you can, make a donation today.
YES, I'll get my gift doubled
With my thanks and best wishes,

PS There has never been a more important time to stand against factory farming.
With matched funding, your donation can do twice as much to end animal suffering. With your help we can tackle the factory farming crisis head-on, so please dig deep and give whatever you can today.
