"Support Surges for UK Ban on Low Welfare Imports" (bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-item...)
The public agrees. Farmers agree. And animal advocates agree. Lower-welfare animal product imports have no place in the UK. The UK is outsourcing #AnimalCruelty, and Brits won't stand for it. (4/5)

Animal advocates have an opportunity to join hands with animal farmers.
Half of the animal farmers we surveyed would consider stopping livestock farming entirely if financially viable alts were accessible.
We can truly #SupportBritishFarmers by supporting a just transition from livestock. (3/5)

"The Hidden Toll of Slaughter on Farmers’ Mental Health" (bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-item...)
Many British livestock farmers struggle with sending their animals to slaughter. Some are even traumatised. But few talk about it. (2/5)

Our latest study found a sig connection between #masculine norms and #meat.
Then, we ran focus groups to explore the issue in men's own words.
So, which masc norms are driving the connection, what do men think about it, and how can interventions actually appeal to men? ➡️ tinyurl.com/mukzks92

A recent report reveals that a staggering 95% of the UK's potential trade partners have lower animal welfare standards. This means products produced using methods illegal here – like sow stalls and barren battery cages – could flood our markets.

Can a single video sway our forks? New research says yes 🌱
We've wrapped up two fascinating studies exploring whether short educational videos about the environmental and ethical consequences of animal agriculture can nudge actual food choices amongst university students. Here's what we found:

Our findings show:
🔴 Massive misalignment between public values and practice
🔴 A lack of transparency, with some practices not even properly recorded, leaving their actual prevalence unknown

📊 Bite-sized data: The Case for Plant-Based University Catering
Here's a fascinating bit of data from our insight exploring benefits of transitioning university catering to plant-based options. The data compares five scenarios, from "business as usual" to fully plant-based systems.
