Students and staff alike were shocked to learn that animals on factory farms are crammed into cages so small they cannot turn around or engage in natural behaviors, mutilated without any painkillers, and violently slaughtered. After learning that animal agriculture is also one of the greatest contributors to global warming and environmental devastation, and that countless people have prevented, treated, or even reversed serious, life-threatening illnesses through plant-based eating, many students were eager to begin making the switch to a vegan diet.
MFA’s Humane Education program is raising awareness among our youth and giving them the information and resources they need to make more compassionate choices every time they sit down to eat – for animals, the planet, and their health.
