Viva! Animals is here to educate about the wonderful and unique animals we share our planet with. We expose the atrocious factory farming industry which has taken over meat, dairy and egg production. Most farmed animals spend their short lives imprisoned in squalor and exploited for human use – a vast contrast to the freedoms and joys they experience in the wild.
Whilst it is often claimed that the UK has some of the highest welfare standards in the world, the reality is far worse. Read our intro to factory farming.
Billions of animals, from land to sea, are killed each year in the UK and around the world so we can unnecessarily consume animal products.
Every year in the UK around 1.2 billion land animals are slaughtered for human consumption. This includes over 1 billion chickens, 15 million turkeys, 14 million sheep, 2.8 million cattle, over 10 million pigs and almost 15 million sheep and lambs. In addition, almost one billion fish are killed and trillions of shellfish.
Red Tractor is the largest food assurance scheme in Britain, that supposedly ‘promotes and regulates food quality’. But can it really be trusted?
When Viva! investigates factory farming we report our findings to every authority who can have an influence. We may call a vet to the scene (we have contacted the RSPCA as well as private vets). Plus, of course, we give our evidence to the retailers (often supermarkets) the farm is supplying.
