Blogger Spotlight: alhena for Compassion In World Farming

"The organisation I have chosen is called Compassion In World Farming, because they deal with a matter that is very close to my heart. They are a UK-based animal help organisation but they work internationally. Their goals are to end cruelty to those animals that we usually forget about; to end factory farming, long distance animal transports, and similar atrocities. These animals, who you will later meet again in form of a steak or hamburger, spend their lives under the most horrible conditions, and then 90 hours or more in overcrowded vehicles or ships while being carted to their final destination. If you really need more details, please visit CIWF's website.

"The welfare (or lack thereof) of farm animals has always meant a lot to me. We can't make people stop eating meat. What we can do is to make sure the animals at least have a decent life before they have to die, which is what the people at CIWF are striving to accomplish."
