Billions of animals each year are treated cruelly on factory farms. We believe that raising awareness of current practices and pushing for reform could reduce animal suffering by enormous amounts, yet we see relatively little attention on this issue from major animal welfare groups.

For more on why we chose farm animal welfare as a focus area, see our public cause report (September 2013) [1], used in our process for selecting focus areas [2].
