Birth to Butcher

Let's explore the life of animals from when they're born or brought into farms to when they're processed for meat. We'll focus on doing this in a nice and respectful way, thinking about what's right for the animals at each step.

1. Birth or Acquisition: The Foundation of Well-Being

  • Promoting biodiversity and natural ecosystem balance within the farm environment.

4. Ethical Slaughter: Transitioning with Respect
