Jonty Whittleton
Hi, I'm Jonty, director of campaigns on the international farming team.
I have had a connection with farm animals since birth, having grown up on a smallholding farm with chickens and sheep, and have spent the last decade working on sustainable food issues. Like humans, dogs or bears, farm animals have feelings and it’s important that they have good lives. Sadly the majority of them live in conditions that cause suffering and stress.
It’s my job to develop creative campaigns that have the biggest positive impact for farm animals. I love collaborating with people, like you, who share our vision of a world free from animal suffering.
My blog posts will showcase our vital and exciting work to build a better future for the world’s farm animals.
