Compassion Over Killing: Changing the World for Animals
Compassion Over Killing, also known as Animal Outlook, is a national nonprofit animal advocacy organization that has been working tirelessly to change the world for animals since 1995. With a mission to end animal cruelty and promote plant-based diets, Compassion Over Killing has become one of the leading voices in the animal rights movement.
The organization was founded by Paul Shapiro, who was just 19 years old at the time. He had already been involved in animal rights activism for several years and wanted to create an organization that would focus on promoting veganism and exposing cruelty in factory farming. Since then, Compassion Over Killing has grown into a powerful force for change.
One of the main ways that Compassion Over Killing works towards its mission is through undercover investigations. The organization sends investigators into factory farms and slaughterhouses to document conditions and expose abuse. These investigations have led to numerous exposés on major food companies such as Tyson Foods, Perdue Farms, and Smithfield Foods.
In addition to investigations, Compassion Over Killing also works on legislative initiatives aimed at improving conditions for animals. The organization has successfully lobbied for laws banning cruel practices such as battery cages for egg-laying hens and gestation crates for pregnant pigs.
Another important aspect of Compassion Over Killing's work is promoting plant-based diets. The organization believes that reducing or eliminating meat consumption is one of the most effective ways individuals can help animals and reduce their environmental impact. To this end, they offer resources such as recipes, meal plans, and guides on how to transition to a vegan lifestyle.
Compassion Over Killing's work has not gone unnoticed - they have received numerous awards over the years including being named "Top Charity" by Animal Charity Evaluators in 2019. Their efforts have also been featured in major media outlets such as CNN, The New York Times, and NPR.
