Our mission is to promote farmed animal rescue, education and advocacy. Our vision is to help bring an end to the needless and gratuitous suffering of animals where it matters most - 99.7% of these are farmed animals. Our vision is a simple one: a world where respect for animals means they are no longer unnecessarily and systematically exploited and killed. Farmed animals are the 99% who suffer at human hands. Ending their suffering is a big challenge and yet completely and easily within our control.
