Get Active for Farmed Animals

If you’re looking for the best way to help animals, you’ve come to the right place! The food industry kills more animals than laboratories, fur farmers, trappers, circuses, and hunters combined. Cutting meat, eggs, and dairy products from your diet makes an enormous difference—you will save more than 100 animals every year just by switching to a healthy, vegan diet. In this section, we’ll show you how to multiply your impact many times over by encouraging people in your community to follow your lead.  

In the following three sections, we’ve listed dozens of exciting ways for you to get involved, ranging from quick, easy actions to bigger projects. And in our two essays, “Effective Advocacy: Stealing From the Corporate Playbook” and “Answering Tough Questions About Animal Rights,” we’ll give you advice on how to be the best possible advocate.

Please direct all questions or concerns to VegInfo@peta.org. Literature and other materials can be purchased at PETALiterature.com. (If money is a problem, please e-mail us and we can send you free materials.) Good luck in your efforts, and thank you so much for all that you’re doing to make the world a kinder place!

Fight KFC Cruelty!

More than 850 million chickens are killed every year for KFC. They are crammed into sheds, mutilated, suffer from broken wings and legs, and are often still completely conscious when their throats are slit and they are dunked into tanks of scalding-hot water. We need your help to persuade KFC to implement real animal welfare standards and stop this hideous cruelty. Read more.

You are the animals' voice, so you want to be as prepared and effective as possible. We've compiled some tried-and-true tips on having the discussion about animal rights, as well as our favorite responses to the most common questions we hear when advocating for farmed animals. Read more.
