Compassion In World Farming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Compassion In World Farming is a European based animal welfare charitable organisation, which has branches in the United Kingdom, China and Ireland. It was founded in 1967 by a Hampshire dairy farmer called Peter Roberts (7 June 1924 – 15 November 2006) in response to the growth in factory farming[1].
The charity enjoys the support of various celebrities including Joanna Lumley, and campaigns against the live export of animals, inhumane slaughter, and systems of factory farming which includes the farming of animals for fur.
It promotes organic and free range animal produce, as well as vegetarianism/veganism, and a general reduction in consumption of meat, as ways to reduce animal suffering and environmental damage.
Compassion in World Farming in the UK is a registered charity (Registered Charity Number 1095050).
