We Demand West Norfolk Rejects Plans for a New Factory Farm

We Demand West Norfolk Rejects Plans for a New Factory Farm

A proposal has recently been put forth for a high-intensity poultry and pig farm in King's Lynn & West Norfolk. This must not be allowed. 

Factory farming robs these intelligent, sociable creatures of the chance to experience a wholesome and natural life. Chickens undergo unnecessary suffering in these factory farms, living woefully short and brutal lives before being slaughtered for their meat. Pigs, too, endure squalid conditions often without ever seeing the daylight or feeling grass beneath their hooves.

 

We need your support to prevent these inhumane developments from taking root. Please act today.

THE SIGNIFICANCE 
In addition to the insufferable conditions endured by the livestock during their fleeting life spans, intensive farms serve as breeding grounds for zoonotic disease and they are also significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, environmental pollution, and biodiversity loss. 

 

This proposed poultry and pig farm not only represents a significant recession in animal welfare and environmental protection, but it also sets a dangerous precedent that could stimulate similar developments nationwide, effectively undermining the tireless efforts of animal welfare organizations.

 

The Government has repeatedly pledged to uphold our superior animal welfare standards, especially post-Brexit. However, initiatives like these clearly undermine these promises, prioritizing profit instead of duly prioritizing the welfare of animals.
