Farmed Pig Welfare: Final Summary and Call to Action

A comprehensive call to action for pig welfare improvement addresses individual choices, systemic advocacy, and collective action.

Key Facts

Billions of pigs live in systems causing significant welfare compromise globally
Consumer, regulatory, and corporate levers for change are all demonstrably effective
Progress is real but insufficient for the scale of suffering that continues
Individual action combined with systemic advocacy produces faster improvement than either alone

Welfare Considerations

Pig welfare improvement is achievable, underway, and urgent. Each individual choice for higher welfare pork, each advocacy message to retailers and politicians, and each donation to effective organisations contributes to reducing the suffering of billions of sentient animals. The scale of the problem is matched by the scale of available solutions.

What You Can Do

Make higher welfare pork choices when possible and within budget
Contact your supermarket's animal welfare team to express support for improvement
Donate to effective pig welfare organisations and share their work with others
