The Voice of Our Supporters
When you witness the horror that really happens behind closed doors and slaughterhouses to farm animals all over the world, it’s impossible not to be affected by it and to realise that we have to do something drastic to stop it.
Joaquin Phoenix
Activist and actor, speaking at a protest with Animal Equality in London

Rooney Mara
Activist and actress, speaking about her experience inside a pig farm
Going into that foie gras farm gave me an insight, if only brief, into the lives of the brave activists who venture into factory farms and slaughterhouses to uncover all manner of animal abuses. I’m talking about the investigators who see the kinds of things I saw and feel the kind of pain I felt, and yet make the difficult decision to go back again day after day to do more.

The Red Tractor label: what does it really mean?
Most people will never see inside a farm or slaughterhouse, so when they have concerns about how animals are treated in order to produce the products they buy, they put their trust in others to tell them what is happening on those farms. For most consumers, this means putting trust in an assurance scheme. These…
