The Other Side of Meat
(La Otra Cara De La Carne)
A campaign to expose the systematic abuse behind animal farming in Chile. Every day, millions of farmed animals in Chile live and die in conditions hidden from the public eye: untreated wounds, extreme confinement, lack of veterinary care, and cruel practices that have become the norm — all enabled by weak regulation and lack of enforcement.
#LaOtraCaraDeLaCarne ("The Other Side of Meat") is a campaign by Animal Law Focus that aims to reveal the truth the meat industry doesn’t want you to see.
We are exposing the suffering behind animal farming and demanding urgent regulatory reform.
What are we fighting for?
📸 To shine a light on the daily suffering of animals through real images from farms and slaughterhouses in Chile.
⚖️ To call for strong, enforceable animal welfare laws and oversight.
📢 To mobilise public pressure on companies, authorities, and decision-makers.
🤝 To build a network of activists, professionals, and organisations committed to ending cruelty.

Farm animals give up their lives so humans can eat them. The least we can do is show them respect, care, concern. ANIMALS GIVE UP THEIR LIVES!!!! How horrible that the Chilean government does not take responsibility; create laws that farm animals are treated with compassion. The fact remains that in Chile, thousands of farm animals are subjected every day to a level of cruelty that should be unacceptable in any so-called just society. I urge the Chilean govt. to evolve, change, develop as an ethical humane country. (…) What does this say about Chile? The government needs to get strict - ordering the definitive closure of companies that repeatedly fail to comply with animal welfare standards and to work with SAG to promote regulatory reforms that ensure truly enforceable standards and effective sanction mechanisms. Stronger animal welfare legislation is a MUST."
