Is Compassion in World Farming a vegetarian or vegan organisation?
Compassion in World Farming is the charity that campaigns exclusively for the highest welfare standards for farm animals reared for food. We are not a vegetarian or vegan organisation and we do not seek to promote vegetarianism or veganism. However, we fully understand and respect that many of our supporters are vegetarian and vegan. Our ‘Global Warning!’ campaign aims to encourage consumers to eat less meat for the good of farm animals, themselves and the planet. Compassion in World Farming was set up forty years ago by a farmer, Peter Roberts, who was appalled and saddened by the increase in the use of industrial farming methods and wanted to ensure a brighter future for farm animals across the world. As a result, one of our key aims is to ensure that all meat and dairy produce that is available has been produced to the highest standards of farm animal welfare. Our key goal is to end the suffering endured by the largest population of animals used by humans in the world: farm animals.
