Canadians for the Ethical Treatment of Food Animals (CETFA) is an investigative and educational organization established to examine intensive farming practices, with particular attention to abusive practices; hazards to human health; environmental impacts; and the role of power politics in maintaining the system while withholding public access to factual information. We seek to address these interconnected issues through investigation, education and advocacy of the compassionate treatment of farmed animals.

REVEALED: No Country for Animals

Karen Pinker, noted producer and director with 90th Parallel Productions, and her crew joined CETFA inspectors while on investigation. They caught with their cameras what our investigators see daily - government-sanctioned cruelty to farm animals.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

When you see media coverage of barn fires, leave written comments on online articles and write letters to the editor asking why greater protection isn't afforded to farm animals.  Request that smoke alarms and sprinkler systems be retrofitted into existing industrial barns, where risk of fire is greatest.

CRITICALLY INJURED, SUFFERING ANIMALS ROUTINELY LEFT TO DIE IN
CANADA'S FACTORY FARMS

CETFA investigators recently concluded an investigation into conditions in Canadian barns that spanned 4 provinces. The footage covers nearly all species of farm animals and shows patterns of abuse, neglect and cruelty. 

 

Our investigators documented numerous downer, dying animals left to fend for themselves.  These animals slowly starved to death, were picked on and tormented by the others, were continually harassed by biting horse flies and house flies laying eggs in their wounds, or eaten alive by rats.
