Every year, around 9 million pigs in the UK endure the terror of CO2 slaughter.
Please donate today to help secure a UK ban on CO2 pig slaughter and end cruelty for all farmed animals. Donations will be matched up to a total of £55,000: bit.ly/3RXYAtA

One of the longest journeys farmed animals are forced to endure at sea.
This suffering is completely unnecessary - we've banned live exports from Great Britain - now it's time for global action.

This simply isn't sustainable. More and more chickens are being crammed into cruel factory farms, which pollute our environment and damage our health.
We need action now to reverse this harmful trend.

This #WorldOceansDay, help to stop @PescanovaCorp from building the world's first octopus farm.
Not only would this farm be incredibly cruel, these animals would need 1000s of tonnes of wild-caught fish, harming marine life and our oceans.

"Is it possible to create an ethical octopus farm?"
Quite simply, no. There is no humane way to farm octopus. We need to leave these incredible, fascinating creatures alone.

Research by @TBIJ shows the number of mega farms is increasing.
These systems cause immense suffering to animals, harm the environment and our health. Farmers must be supported to move towards more regenerative methods.

Harming animals harms us. 💔🤒
Globally, antibiotics are often misused to compensate for questionable farming methods, contributing to the rise of superbugs.
We must move away from intensive and stress-inducing forms of farming.

Farming in harmony with nature is a win-win.
It rebuilds and protects biodiversity and is more resilient to climate shocks.

Great news from New York!
Congratulations to @theanimalvoters, Woodstock Sanctuary, and the coalition on their fight to keep octopus wild. 👏👏
🐙 RAISE YOUR TENTACLES! 🐙
At 1:27 AM this morning — as the very last bill on the agenda — the New York State Assembly passed A.8043C, our legislation to prohibit octopus farming, with an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 129–13! 🍾
This victory brings New York one step closer to protecting octopuses from the cruelty of industrial farming before this industry ever takes hold here.
A huge thank you to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie for bringing this bill to a vote and our incredible Assembly sponsor @tonysimone for championing this legislation.
The bill now heads to @GovKathyHochul’s desk to be signed into law. Stay tuned — we’ll be sharing how you can help make sure New York gets this across the finish line.
But today, we celebrate. For the octopuses. 🐙
