INVESTIGATIONS

We believe that consumers should be able to make informed choices.

Sadly, the lives of animals farmed for food are kept hidden behind misleading labels, adverts and marketing campaigns.

Our investigations fight the status quo by revealing the true cost of factory farming to the public.
