Today's #BanLiveExports International Awareness Day is also seeing a big push in the EU. A group of Ministers are eager to block a ban that would protect farmed animals from horrific long journeys. Wherever you are in the world, take action here: bit.ly/3PcuZZZ

This is our statement. Alongside 17 other NGOs we're calling on politicians to unite to ensure the Kept Animals Bill can pass, in the form originally introduced by the Government, and with the full support of Opposition Parties. #BanLiveExports #OppositionDay

The poultry industry is irresponsibly peddling the line that bird flu comes from wild birds. Scientific evidence shows that highly pathogenic AI originates in the industrial poultry sector. Without urgent farming reforms, we cannot stop the spread. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Thank you to Dr Amir Khan GP for outlining how stressful conditions on factory farms are behind worsening bird flu outbreaks. We need to call on world leaders to face the issue head-on. Please sign the petition to end intensive farming: bit.ly/3URkyue #BirdFlu #EndIt
