Activists Demand End to Cruel Factory Farms

World Animal Protection started a campaign to end big factory farms before an upcoming climate meeting. The group wants better food systems that help nature, people's health, and animal welfare. Sally Kahiu from the organization said factory farming hurts wildlife, wastes water, and makes people sick. She believes world leaders must create a food system that values more than just money.

The campaign advocates smaller farms instead of giant industrial operations. Research shows that stopping all fossil fuel pollution might not prevent severe warming if food systems don't change. The group aims to cut animal farming emissions in half by 2030. It suggests people eat more plants, especially in countries that consume lots of meat. Kahiu warned that crowded animal farms increase diseases like bird flu and make antibiotics less effective.

The organization works with indigenous communities and sustainable farmers to build support. It hopes to create fair food systems that can withstand climate challenges. Its message emphasizes how current farming hurts both animals and our planet. These changes could help meet global climate promises made years ago. The group continues gathering allies before the climate summit arrives.
