Religious Leaders Target Factory Farming

WASHINGTON, RNS - The Humane Society of the United States announced the launch of its new "All Creatures Great and Small" campaign, which aims to increase awareness about our moral responsibilities to all animals, including those raised for food. The announcement was made on a teleconference media call with religious leaders from various faiths.

"All religious institutions call upon their followers to adhere to the principles of charity and compassion and concern for others. More and more, we recognize that we must apply these principles to all of God's creation," said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The HSUS.

"We are urging people of faith to take a small step in their daily lives by switching to cage-free eggs or egg substitutes during the month of October as an act of compassion for farm animals. In the United States alone, almost 280 million egg-laying hens spend their lives in wire cages no bigger than a piece of notebook paper, and this is a violation of our covenant with creation."
