Not only do farmed animals suffer in unimaginable conditions during their short lives, but intensive farms are also hotspots for zoonotic disease outbreaks and contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, environmental pollution and biodiversity loss.
This pig and poultry farm in Methwold and Feltwell would be a huge step backwards for animal welfare and the environment, and will give the green light for more farms like it to be built across the country, undermining decades of work by animal welfare organisations like us.
The Government has made numerous commitments to uphold our high animal welfare standards post Brexit, but farms like this directly undermine this and lead with profit in mind rather than a commitment to prioritise animal welfare.
