I'm running because I can. 

I'm running whilst other living beings will never leave their cage.

I'm running for the voiceless.

I'm running for a cause I believe strongly in. 

A friend said to me "people will always eat meat Mel, that's never going to change; but the animals need to be treated humanely". Whilst I don't agree that people will always eat meat (I'm a vegan) and change isn't already happening, I also understand that many people have this mindset. You don't like being confronted with animal abuse, neglect and mistreatment. That's where Compassion in World Farming comes in. They exist to end factory farming and advance the well-being of farm animals worldwide. Treating animals with compassion and respect is paramount and right now the main emphasis is on ending the Cage Age. 

In the EU each year:

-330 million rabbits are farmed for meat, 99% are caged. 

-498 million laying hens are farmed, 60% are caged.

-15 million sows are farmed, 90% are suffering in stalls and farrowing crates.

-46 millions ducks are used for foie gras, 95% are caged. 

YOU can make a difference. No sentient being should have to suffer. YOUR money is so powerful in driving farm animal welfare in the right direction.

Be the change. 

Thank you
