FIGHTING FOR
THE FIVE FREEDOMS
At Five Freedoms, we are dedicated to improving the welfare of animals trapped in systems that fail to respect their most fundamental rights.
Our work is rooted in the internationally recognized Five Freedoms—basic rights every animal should have to live without pain, fear, or neglect. These freedoms have been embraced by leading global organizations, such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), as essential standards for animal welfare.
A CALL TO ACTION
The Five Freedoms set a clear and necessary standard for how animals should be treated. However, certain food companies continue to fail in respecting even these basic standards, leading to ongoing neglect and cruelty.
Every animal should have access to clean water and nutritious food that sustains them.
Animals deserve an appropriate environment, including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
Animals should never suffer from untreated injuries or diseases and should not endure painful procedures without relief.
Every animal has natural instincts that should be respected, with space and conditions to exhibit their normal behaviors.
Animals should not endure fear, distress, or mistreatment, particularly during handling, transport, and slaughter.
ARE BEING VIOLATED
This chronic neglect of the Five Freedoms is not just a matter of poor conditions; it is a failure of responsibility on the part of companies that could adopt humane practices but choose not to.
