We’re calling on the EU to introduce specific legislation to stop this suffering.

Fish are sentient and experience a range of emotions. This means they also feel pain, yet farmed fish have few welfare protections.

A world without factory farming is possible. Shifting to plant‑rich diets is a vital part of the solution.

ICYMI: the UK has taken a landmark step forward for animal protection and committed to phasing out cages for laying hens and farrowing crates for pigs, subject to consultation. This will positively impact over 7 million hens and 150,000 pigs annually.

This is unacceptable; they are sentient, intelligent animals that feel pain & can suffer – just like land animals.

Why it's wrong to blame wild birds for devastating avian flu outbreaks

The @europarl.europa.eu is officially asking the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social to assess if the EU-Mercosur trade deal complies with EU treaties.

We must modernise EU animal welfare rules so all imported products meet standards equivalent to those in the EU to improve this deal.
