These UK government petitions are life changing for animals. They’re only open for 6 months, so please tag your UK friends below! Will Labour prove they’re listening? 🇬🇧 linktr.ee/herbivore.club

He is correct... and one of the most egregious examples of crony capitalism is the corrupt alliance between the Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods and senators like Joni Ernst , who are trying to push through a backhanded deal to FORCE gestation-crated pork back onto states which

This is a brazen ploy by the pork industry and its paid-for politicians. They plan to overturn popular state bans on cruel gestation crates for pigs through the byzantine Farm Bill. They’re really hoping you won’t notice this.

Years ago I was shocked by images like this of Korean farmers burying pigs alive during an FMD outbreak. Right now, US egg factory farms are killing millions of animals by an even crueler method: baking them alive. Brooke Rollins could end this with the stroke of a pen.

So it turns out producers are already not reporting avian influenza outbreaks at poultry facilities. "Just days before their chickens started to die, another farmer had warned the Thomases that bird flu was spreading in southern Illinois. But he said some farmers never reported

When we advised the UK govt about 🐙🦑🦀🦞🦐 sentience in 2021, we also highlighted the worst welfare risks they face and how to address them. Not much has changed yet, so we've published an updated review (open access) with all the latest evidence: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

There are few cases where the disconnect between popular opinion and legal reality is so stark. 91% of Brits support the government improving on-farm welfare standards. Yet the UK government hasn't done so in over a decade. Time for popularism for farm animals!

Our #TheCrateEscape campaign calls for an end to pig farrowing crates which are currently used for 60% of sows in the UK, who are unable to walk or even turn around for 5 weeks. Some countries have banned these cages but this is still legal in the UK. Ban pig farrowing crates

It is with great sadness – and an immense sense of loss – that we inform our friends and supporters that our wonderful Chairperson and co-founder Paula Sparks passed away on Friday. She is already very greatly missed. Full letter from our Acting Chair: buff.ly/vK8V5oJ

Have you read about our #CrateEscape campaign? Sows typically spend 22% of their adult breeding life in a cage so small she cannot turn around. Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland have outlawed this practice, but still around 200,000 sows in the UK suffer in these systems every year

Many animals on factory farms are kept in conditions that do not meet their basic physical and behavioural needs. Our recommendations for change on page 48 of our report: Farm Animal Welfare in the UK: What Does the British Public Want? …nservativeanimalwelfarefoundation.org/resources/farm…

Really good event in UK Parliament hosted by Humane World for Animals UK & Irene Campbell MP. Currently, over 200,000 sows in the UK are kept in cruel farrowing crates, denying normal behaviours such as nesting & simply being able to turn around. Need to ban these crates ASAP. #AnimalWelfare
