Please note that if you donate to us via CAF Canada or CanadaHelps, your gift will be restricted to the project Changing Corporate Policy to Reduce Suffering in Factory Farming. See the question “Will my donation be restricted if I donate via CanadaHelps or CAF Canada? If so, what will my donation help fund?” below.

Changing Corporate Policy to Reduce Suffering in Factory Farming
Over the past decade, Mercy For Animals and other animal protection NGOs have secured hundreds of animal welfare commitments from North America’s largest food companies. These include banning intensive confinement systems for laying hens and mother pigs, as well as reforming standards for chickens raised for meat. In response to our corporate relations program and public awareness campaigns on these issues, food companies across Canada and the United States have made public commitments to phasing out some of the cruelest practices. As deadlines for fulfilling these commitments approach, we must hold companies accountable and ensure they make good on their promises to consumers, investors, and animals.
This project supports Mercy For Animals’ institutional policy work to help shift our food system toward more compassionate and sustainable practices by ensuring major food companies follow through on their animal welfare commitments, benefiting potentially billions of chickens and pigs in Canada and the United States.
