📢 Not only has Brittany Ferries resumed live exports, it's now transporting unweaned calves. They are just weeks old & separated from their mothers.

The European Commission says this is in breach of EU law, which states they must be fed every 19 hours. @ec.europa.eu must act now to #BanLiveExports

What a shocking backwards step from @brittanyferries.bsky.social Do the right thing and stop this dreadful trade. #BanLiveExports
Is this what @brittanyferries.bsky.social means when it promises passengers an “unforgettable” & “uncommon” holiday in its marketing?

Share this post & tag @brittanyferries.bsky.social to urge them to stop inhumanely exporting live farmed animals. #BanLiveExports

Higher animal welfare standards are not a burden, they "bring benefits to farmers and animals", said Animal Welfare Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi, stressing that the modernisation of #AnimalWelfare rules is an opportunity the @ec.europa.eu "cannot miss".

Europeans are concerned about precious EU waters. Nearly 80% of us want more - not less EU level action to protect water‼️

Policymakers must maintain ambition and swiftly adopt proposed new water quality standards!

This is a major step by Mexico, which could improve the lives of millions of farmed animals every year. The key will be to ensure this is resourced & enforced properly www.vox.com/future-perfe...
Mexico just put animal welfare into its national constitution
These reforms are a big win for advocates, but what happens next will be crucial for animals rights.

Both science and common sense tells us that fish are capable of feeling pain and emotions. Yet sadly, because of us, they suffer in their trillions each year.

We won't stop speaking out until fish are treated with compassion and respect.
