Sumillion’s first charity donation was to the The Farm Animal Sanctuary who provide a secure place for over 600 animals. They have been rescued from abuse, neglect, slaughter and abandonment and live out their days, free from fear and cruelty.
BATTERY CHICKENS Chickens would naturally spend their day foraging for food and scratching the ground looking for insects and seeds. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the 50 billion chickens reared each year experience intensive farming methods.
COW WELFARE Intensive dairy farming results in an increasing number of welfare problems for dairy cows. There are over 270 million cows producing milk across the world. They often become emaciated due to high milk yields leading to lameness, mastitis and infertility.
PIG WELFARE Around 1.4 billion pigs are slaughtered annually for meat worldwide. In intensive systems, sows (mother pigs) are often confined in narrow crates, unable to to move freely, when they are pregnant and nursing their piglets.
SHEEP WELFARE The main welfare issues affecting sheep are from mutilations, lameness, transport and illness caused by disease. The health problems of sheep are largely treatable or avoidable with good grazing, breeding and stockmanship.
