Humane Society International fights the spread of factory farming around the globe.

In the U.S., almost all farm animals spend their lives inside factory farms. They’re bad for animals, bad for us and bad for the planet we share. Here’s why.

Confining chickens in cages where they cannot even spread their wings is one of the cruelest practices in industrial factory farming.

Colorado has just banned cages for egg-laying chickens and will require that eggs produced and sold in the state be cage-free. The bill, which passed both chambers of the state legislature in June, was signed moments ago by Gov. Jared Polis.

Three years ago this month, something truly extraordinary happened for animals.

Slaughterhouses have emerged as hotspots for the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, with more than 37,000 cases tied to meatpacking plants and more than 160 workers dead.
