Act Now

Animal factories will not exist if consumers demand that animals raised for food are treated as sentient beings with dignity and respect.

• Ensure your food choices alleviate animal suffering rather than perpetuate cruelty.  If you consume animal products, buy from family farms where animals are not confined to cages or crates, and where they can roam freely and behave naturally.
• Visit Animal Welfare Approved to find out where to locate humanely raised food products.
• Use customer comment cards to urge grocery stores and restaurants to provide products from animals raised according to high welfare standards.
• Contact your Members of Congress and request strong enforcement of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act.  Respectfully suggest that USDA inspectors work fulltime at each slaughter plant with the sole responsibility to observe the unloading, handling, stunning and killing of the animals. Visit AWI's Compassion Index to identify and contact your Members of Congress.
• Learn how to fight a factory farming operation in your community.
• Educate others.
