#FiveFestiveFacts – day 5 🦃

Turkeys are curious, active birds – but on factory farms they’re crammed into sheds, unable to stretch their wings or go outside. They deserve space, not confinement.

#FiveFestiveFacts – day 4 🐖

Pigs are playful, intelligent animals but factory farms confine them in dark, barren cages.

#FiveFestiveFacts – day 3 🦢

Geese are deeply social animals who mate for life and even grieve when a companion is lost.

Yet factory farming denies them space, freedom, and their natural behaviours.

We’re calling for a kinder food system that respects all animals.

Chickens in factory farms have been bred to grow unnaturally fast, but it comes at a huge welfare cost. Many struggle to stand, collapsing under their own weight.

The solution is simple - use slower growing breeds & give chickens space & freedom to express their natural behaviours: buff.ly/DYhCKjA

The @ec.europa.eu's expected legislation to phase out cages isn't just key for animal welfare, it also makes business sense. More than 30 companies across Europe have joined @ciwf.org to urge the Commission to #EndtheCageAge www.foodingredientsfirst.com/news/europea...

We are sad to hear of the death of Dr Iain Douglas-Hamilton. Dedicating his life to Africa’s elephants, he revealed the depth of their intelligence, family bonds & emotional lives. He spoke at our Animal Sentience conference & will be remembered as a great defender of animals.
