Compassion Over Killing (COK) is a nonprofit animal protection organization based in Washington D.C. founded by Paul Shapiro and currently led by Erica Meier. Formed in 1995 COK’s primary campaigns are to advocate against factory farms and promote vegetarian eating. While it welcomes those who are interested in animal welfare who eat meat the group encourages a transition to a plant-based diet even if gradual or part-time.
