Autumn Appeal 2024

We hope you’ve enjoyed reading this year's annual report and learning about all the important projects we’re working on.

As you may know, the Humane Slaughter Association (HSA) is a registered, independent charity that relies entirely on the generosity of our supporters. We receive no government funding, but thanks to donors like you, we’re able to pursue our vision.

Trillions of animals are killed to provide food and other products every year. Sadly, many suffer from poor welfare during the final stages of their lives, either during transport to slaughterhouses or livestock markets, or at the time of slaughter.

At the HSA, our vision is a world where all farmed animals are transported and slaughtered humanely. For over a century, we’ve worked to improve animal welfare through scientific research, education, advocacy, and collaboration with industry, ensuring that animals used for food experience the absolute minimum pain and distress.

By supporting the HSA, you’re helping us create a world where humane treatment is the standard, not the exception. Join us in making a real, lasting difference to animal welfare beyond the farm gate.
