Obtaining footage and photographs - at times working undercover to gather evidence - hard-hitting Compassion in World Farming investigations expose the cruelty often inflicted on farm animals.
Compassion in World Farming leads the field in documenting and exposing the truth behind intensive farming and long distance live animal transportation.

EU not protecting animals in transport
The film presented in Brussels by Compassion in World Farming, Animals Angels and Eurogroup illustrates what is happening on the roads, based on concrete evidence from the field and inspection reports.
Warning:
The film depicts illegal practices such as injured animals lifted by cranes or pushed by Caterpillars, and frequent beating of exhausted animals.
Compassion in World Farming investigations are recognised as one of the most effective ways of revealing the plight of farmed animals around the world.
In just the last year, members of our specialist investigation team have travelled throughout Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa documenting the welfare problems inherent in long distance live animal transport and intensive factory farming.
In Asia, Compassion in World Farming also examined the growing threat of avian influenza (Bird Flu) - producing a documentary shown to over 250 world government Chief Veterinary Officers (CVOs) at the annual World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) conference in Paris in May 2006.
Our investigations have resulted in extensive media coverage and exclusive footage which Compassion in World Farming has used to create educational documentaries and lobbying evidence - directly influencing debate and helping to influence policy - and increasing farm animal welfare protection.
