The Perils Of Farming And Eating Animals.



Did you know that some fishes like to be petted? Or that they have good memories and even pass knowledge down to the next generation? Chickens are so smart that they plan for the future and perform better than dogs and cats on some intelligence tests. Pigs, cows, turkeys, sheep… all have unique, individual personalities and are capable of fear and suffering.
That’s why a growing chorus of people who care about animals are recommending that we reduce and even eliminate animal products from our diet. Companies are developing incredible alternatives to meat and dairy products and some businesses are even exploring how to grow real animal flesh without slaughtering animals.
Faunalytics is working to save these abused animals, and you can help. Follow our efforts for animals used for food by signing up for our email alerts or making a life-saving donation.
According to research compiled by Faunalytics, more than a trillion animals are killed every year to feed the growing human population. Most of those animals are fishes. In the United States alone, we slaughter an estimated 47 billion fishes and 9 billion chickens. Added to that are many millions of turkeys, pigs, cows, ducks, sheep, and goats. Here’s the data:

Faunalytics helps save farmed animals.
We do that by providing animal advocates with the crucial knowledge they need to succeed. We give them information to help them plan programs that get better results and get them quicker.
Animal Tracker
Our annual public opinion poll is the only source of trends on how people think about and act toward animals, including farmed animals.

Faunalytics Library
We’ve created the largest online library of research on animal protection issues, with more than 4,000 abstracts, articles, and reports.

Free & Discounted Services
We give free help to select small groups and bring custom research to bigger groups for far less than they’d pay for-profit firms.
Faunalytics also focuses on helping vegetarian and vegan advocates be as effective as possible. One example is our recent study of lapsed vegetarians and vegans, which provided much-needed insights about how to help people both become and remain vegan or vegetarian. The following infographic was created partly as a result of the study:

Please support our vital work… so we can help stop the slaughter.
Our most recent Animal Tracker survey showed that 80% of U.S. adults believe that the welfare of farmed animals is important. But beliefs aren’t enough. It takes action. We think that you’re one of the people who cares enough to help these animals.
When you support our work, you help not just Faunalytics, but advocates across the U.S. and around the world who are fighting on behalf of animals used for food. Your contribution in any amount makes sure these advocates have critical information and insight to do the very best job to save these animals.
