About the Organisation
Compassion in World Farming (Compassion) was founded in 1967 by a British farmer horrified by the development of intensive factory farming. Compassion has since become one of the leading farmed animal welfare advocates. We campaign peacefully to end all factory farming practices. In 2012, we established Compassion in World Farming Inc, (Compassion US.) Compassion US focuses on making positive change for farmed animals in the US, the epicenter of modern industrial agriculture. From corporate boardrooms to the halls of government to public campaigns, we work tirelessly to end factory farming and establish an innovative and resilient food system that is compassionate, fair, and regenerative for animals, people, and planet.
