Dear Friends,
Please join us in making 2010 a bumper year for progress for the animals. Specifically, please join our campaigns below.
- Born a boy-calf Campaign: To stop the suffering of throw-away male calves born into the dairy industry.
- Look out for Bruises Campaign: Watch this space! Compassion in World Farming(SA) is about to launch a competition inviting consumers to vote on which of the broiler (meat) chicken labels is the most deceptive!
- Free Africa Campaign: To achieve an official ban on the annual ritual killing of the bull with bare hands in KwaZulu-Natal.
- Uncaged Campaign: To reach an agreement with supermarkets and government for a phase-out of battery cages for laying hens.
- Spent Hens Campaign: Farmers and supermarkets wash their hands of end-of-lay battery hens by allowing a system of squalor and misery to perpetuate.
We urge them to take responsibility for the welfare of end-of-lay hens.
- Motherhood behind bars Campaign: Many supermarkets defend themselves against accusations of being part of cruel practices of animal husbandry by saying they support farmers who adhere to industry standards and codes of practice. The trouble is that sow stalls for pigs comply with existing industry standards and codes of practice! Compassion in World Farming(SA) says: Dump these archaic contraptions of animal torture.
