Some people actually eat them
Donate now
Did you know: every year in Britain, around one billion baby animals – including 15 million lambs – are killed behind the closed door of the slaughterhouse, simply for human consumption?
And these babies are killed in the most horrific ways imaginable.
But this doesn’t need to be the case.
One person can make a huge difference and save the lives of thousands of innocent animals.
By being vegan, ONE person can save over 100 animals a year (plus fish and shellfish) or about 10,000 animals in an average lifetime.
By giving up meat, fish, dairy and eggs, you will no longer be condoning the horrific deaths of over a billion animals a year – simply for food, we don’t need.
Stop future pandemics
The overcrowded and squalid conditions on factory farms create an ideal breeding ground for disease, where deadly superbugs mutate and spread with ease. Zoonotic diseases such as BSE, MERS, SARS, Bird and Swine flu have had devastating consequences for human health and, worryingly, some of these are becoming increasingly common. These diseases are a direct result of the intensification of animal farming. To curb infections farmed animals are fed a cocktail of antibiotics, leading to terrifying antibiotic-resistant genes in people. We need to end factory farming before it ends us.
Reduce the risk of cancer
Vegans have a lower risk of stroke, heart attack, diabetes and some cancers. With less saturated fats, cholesterol and harmful animal protein, choosing a vegan diet is a huge help in living a healthier life.
Save the world
The single most important thing we can do to protect the planet is to go vegan. Livestock farming is one of the key contributors to climate change but it’s also one of the main causes of wildlife loss, deforestation, water pollution, desertification and overfishing. Farming animals is an environmental disaster.
All it takes is for you to not eat them.

Isn’t it adorable seeing baby lambs in the fields at this time of year? 🐑❤️
But even in a nation of animal lovers, one billion baby animals are killed every year just so people can eat them.
It doesn’t need to be this way. One person can make a huge difference and save the lives of thousands of innocent animals 🙏
