Dear Commissooner @OliverVarhelyi, animal welfare was not in the EC 2026 work plan!? Please will you reconfirm that the ongoing consultation will feed into legislative proposals to #EndtheCageAge in 2026?

We've joined 50 nature & farming groups to call on the Gov not to cut the nature-friendly farming budget
The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. We urgently need more investment in sustainable & higher welfare farming, not less: bit.ly/4iKPngU

PROGRESS! 🙌
After years of campaigning from activists, including our friends at @AnimalsAus, live sheep exports from Australia will be illegal from the 1st May 2028.
Whilst we wish it was sooner, there's no denying this is a step in the right direction.

Great article in the @NatGeo: "... currently the science states that there is no ethical way of farming octopus." So why would the Canary Islands allow an octopus farm to start up? Just stop it @PresiCan. #StopOctopusFarming @ciwf

African swine fever is caused by intensive pig farming. Slaughtering wildlife is not the answer. Eradicating a native keystone species such wild boar creates devastating ecological effects. If we want to reduce risks from zoonotic diseases we need to switch to more decent methods of livestock farming. thetimes.co.uk/article/16db8…

On @BBCr4today just now , dairy farmer says ‘we are sat on top of two robots , these cows (115) don’t go out , they are housed 365 days a year . . . we allow them to visit the robots (milking machines) when they want’ . Maybe what they want is some bloody sunshine and fresh air - industrial farming dystopia - horror show
