94%
of animals raised for food products live on factory farms. Unsanitary. Disease-ridden. Packed full of confined animals.
OUR FOOD SYSTEM IS BROKEN
AND IT’S HURTING ALL OF US
Billions of animals and thousands of humans suffer behind the walls of factory farms and slaughterhouses. Entire forests are cleared to make way for miles and miles of barren feedlots. Communities living downwind and downstream endure pollution and poisoning. Giant corporations squeeze contractors, customers, and—most of all—innocent animals, all in the name of profit. It’s never been more clear: our food system is broken. And it's in dire need of repair.
ANIMALS ARE HURTING MOST OF ALL

What if it was me? What if it was me who was that animal who had to go to the slaughterhouse, who had to live on the farm, who had to be taken out of the ocean?

THE SCALE OF THIS CRUELTY IS UNPRECEDENTED IN HUMAN HISTORY
In less than a century, agriculture has become dominated by profit-driven corporations—creating the largest system of animal cruelty ever to exist on the face of the Earth. Globally, 130 billion land animals are raised and slaughtered every year.

Animal protections are under threat
Lobbyists for Big Meat are pushing lawmakers to attempt to overturn elections and state laws—all behind closed doors. Now, Congress is on the verge of wiping out decades of hard-won progress for animals. It’s time for Congress to put an end to Big Meat’s shenanigans. Take action.

ANIMALS, PEOPLE, AND THE PLANET DESERVE BETTER
It's not just animals who suffer.
Factory farming causes deforestation, pollution, and biodiversity loss, threatening fragile ecosystems and guzzling precious natural resources. Slaughterhouse workers face workplace abuses and increased risk of injury, operating dangerous equipment and turning terrified animals into carcasses at mind-numbing speeds. Factory farms are linked to antibiotic resistance, food poisoning, and the spread of zoonotic disease—leading scientists to raise dire warnings about the next pandemic.
