Dear Louise,
As we approach the end of 2022, here at Compassion we’ve been looking back at what’s been an exceptional year.
Globally, we’ve witnessed the horror of war in Ukraine, and been hit by the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme weather events and the cost-of-living crisis. Yet, despite the challenges we all face, you’re still standing with us in the fight to end animal suffering and create a brighter future for farmed animals. For this we thank you!
​
In the past year, Compassion supporters around the world have taken millions of actions against the cruelty and injustice of factory farming. And, however you’ve got involved, you've made a huge difference!
​
Every email sent, and every petition signed, has stepped up the pressure on those in power to act.
Every tweet or share of a Compassion post on social media has spread the word and strengthened the global movement for farmed animals.
Every pound donated has helped us to investigate and expose the suffering caused by intensive farming, deliver powerful public campaigns, engage directly with politicians, or influence global food brands to improve the lives of billions of animals.
​
We’ve created this short video showing the remarkable progress you’ve helped to achieve during 2022.
We hope you enjoy watching and, just as your support inspires us, we hope that seeing all your achievements will inspire you to keep on fighting to end factory farming.
You might wish to share the feel-good video with friends and family!
Together, we’re showing governments, food companies, and citizens that the wellbeing of people and the Earth depends upon ending the world’s biggest cause of animal cruelty – factory farming.
On behalf of everyone at Compassion and the 2.5 billion animals set to benefit each year from your support, thank you!
​
Sending season’s greetings and wishing you a happy and peaceful New Year.
​
Warmest wishes,
​
​
​
​
