Cruelty is rife in animal agriculture. Ten billion animals are slaughtered for food in the U.S. every single year. Approximately 99% of these animals live out their short lives confined to factory farms, where they have very little space to move around or perform their natural behaviors, and rarely even see the light of day.

People working in factory farms and slaughterhouses often face severe battles such as potentially unsafe working conditions, risk of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and illnesses from performing repetitive motions for hours on end. Human health is also suffering due to the current high consumption of animal products.

There are more than seven billion people on the planet – that’s twice as many as 50 years ago. We’re already straining our planet’s resources at dangerously unsustainable levels, and it’s predicted that in another 50 years, there’ll be 10 billion of us walking the Earth. Where are our resources going?
