The HSUS is the nation's largest and most effective animal welfare organization. HSUS works in the United States and abroad to protect all animals. HSUS celebrates the human-animal bond, and fight animal cruelty and abuse in all its forms. Confronting cruelty. Giving farm animals a voice.

Chris Holbein is focusing on legislative issues around the country. Around the world, animals used for meat, eggs, and dairy often suffer on factory farms where they are treated as units of production rather than sentient creatures.

Many farm animals are intensively confined in crates, cages, or pens so small they can barely move, while others are overcrowded in filthy, barren sheds. Painful physical mutilations are commonly inflicted on farm animals without any anesthesia, and most farm animals are selectively bred for unnaturally high rates of production which dramatically decreases their well-being.
