Compassion In World Farming

Today I had the great pleasure of collecting and spreading information for Compassion In World Faming ( ciwf.org ).

Since it's conception in the 1970's CIWF has made great strides in the improvement and campaigning against the conditions the animals used for food are kept in.

In 1999 their campaign to ban barren battery cages prompted the EU to agree to phase them out by 2012.

Also following a 10 year campaign the EU finally recognised, in 1997, that animals are sentient beings: able to experience and suffer pain.

And the campaign against the veal create resulted in this system being banned in the UK in 1990 and across the EU in 2007.

But there is so much more to do.

If you care about what you eat and the suffering of sentient beings...please help, and contact supporters@ciwf.org today or call 01483 521 953 (UK) and help end the long and tragic tradition of Barren Caged hens of which there are 5 BILLION and 50 BILLION we want out of dark, crammed and smelly sheds.

End the deeply distressing live export and long distance journeys that millions of animals are forced to endure (many die en route and many others suffer from dehydration and injury) just to be slaughtered on arrival.

You can help us change the world for the better.

Namaste, Metta and Peace,

Richard
