an all time high
Billions of animals are treated like commodities and endure horrific living conditions on factory farms – 70% of meat comes from industrial farming, up to 99% in the US!
And yet, scientists have demonstrated that animals can experience pain, anxiety and suffering the same way humans do. Beyond cruelty, treating animals as resources has disastrous consequences for the environment.
Livestock factory farming alone contributes to almost 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. It causes all kinds of degradation, such as deforestation and pollution of water and soil, destroying the natural habitat of millions of animals. It also threatens our health by increasing the likeliness of new zoonotic diseases like Covid-19, SARS, Ebola and avian influenza.

now only account for 4%.
Major threats to biodiversity are all driven by human activities :
