Compassion in World Farming

 

http://www.ciwf.org.uk/

 

The leading farm animal welfare charity Compassion in World Farming was founded over 40 years ago in 1967 by a British farmer who became horrified by the development of modern, intensive factory farming.

 

Today they campaign peacefully to end all cruel factory farming practices. They believe that the biggest cause of cruelty on the planet deserves a focused, specialised approach – so the CIWF only work on farm animal welfare.
