Wagamama says it's “sustainable + ethical”. But after seven years of promises, it's still serving #Frankenchickens. A truly sustainable food system can't ignore animal welfare. #GoForSlow 🐔👇 bit.ly/3UZFAwq

Compassion in World Farming UK retweeted
The EU's Vision 2040 featured low-trophic aquaculture & animal welfare. But it still supports growth in carnivorous fish farming, fails to tackle reliance on wild-caught fish feed, & offers no commitment to welfare legislation for farmed aquatic animals. 🔗ciwf.org/media-and-news/late…

Something that really sends us is how often compassion for animals gets framed as unrealistic when it should be the bare minimum.

🚨 Britain's abattoirs are disappearing. If animals are farmed for food, they should be raised & slaughtered close to where they're born. But as local facilities close, animals can face longer journeys before slaughter. We've signed an open letter 🔗 bit.ly/4ytyoGO

🐷 Up to 35 days in a cage. That's how long some mother pigs can spend confined around giving birth. The Government has a chance to end this. Tell them it's time to #EndTheCageAge. 👇 bit.ly/3VIH9zc

🐔 Behind every egg is a hen. Millions of hens across the UK spend their lives in cages, unable to properly dustbathe, forage or explore. They deserve better. ✍️ Tell the UK Government to release the consultation on cages: bit.ly/3UrJYUn #EndTheCageAge

🐄 A new report from @WildlifeTrusts warns that intensive "mega-dairies" are increasing pollution risks and putting pressure on rivers, wildlife and the environment. It's time to support farming that works with nature, not against it. 🌿

🍽️ This #WorldFoodDay, let's talk about a wasteful food system. Huge quantities of grain and soy are fed to animals in factory farms, with most of those calories lost along the way. We can do better. 🌍

2 weeks ago, we sent @Irish_Ferries a legal notice with @FOURPAWSint and @Welfarm over concerns that EU animal welfare law is being breached during the transport of unweaned calves. Its response is not good enough. The calves still aren't being fed. 📖: bit.ly/4yNtZzf
