Factory farming is the largest source of animal cruelty in the world
But fast food chains and supermarkets would rather you didn’t know that
Forget the slogans. Forget the catchy jingles. Forget the clever advertising. Businesses are exploiting and abusing animals on a staggering scale for the sake of profit.
Many companies have committed to sourcing only pork from suppliers that house mother pigs in group housing systems. But Walmart, one of the world’s largest retailers, has not made a commitment to eliminate cruel sow stalls in its pork supply.
We are urging Walmart to commit to policies that prohibit cruel cages and require group housing with enrichment for mother pigs. Learn more >
