Factory farming
The majority of the world's farm animals currently live in miserable conditions, raised using 'production line' methods that cause intense and prolonged suffering.
They live short, barren lives in cages, crates, overcrowded sheds and narrow stalls. There is no guarantee of a humane death.
WSPA is working to end factory farming by raising awareness, establishing local coalitions, and promoting and demonstrating humane alternatives.
Caged and suffering
Factory farm animals are crammed together in conditions that prohibit natural behaviors – they cannot eat, exercise or form relationships. In some cases, they live their entire lives without daylight.
These poor conditions often cause animals to become seriously ill. Antibiotics are often used to prevent the spread of diseases in these crowded conditions, before the animals are slaughtered for consumption.
It doesn’t have to be like this

WSPA is campaigning for sustainable farming systems that are kinder to animals and the environment – and benefit human health and reduce poverty.
WSPA’s Model Farm Project, carried out in partnership with the Food Animal Initiative (FAI) in Brazil and China, demonstrates how humane farming can be cost-effective, as well as create a sustainable and secure food supply.
You can take action, too.
