📰🚨 The number of UK dairy farms keeping cows indoors year-round has more than doubled since 2015. As costs rise and milk prices stay low, farmers are being pushed towards industrial-scale production.
ALT Text reads: NEWS ALERT Number of dairy farms where cows cannot go outside has more than doubled since 2015 The investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ) has found there are now at least 180 dairy farms in the UK where cows have no access to the outdoors.

Factory farming isn’t the future - it’s a failing system.
We need a food system that works for farmers, animals and the planet - not one that traps cows indoors and leaves farmers with no choice.

Parrots aren’t pets - they’re wild animals with complex needs that cannot be replicated in captivity.
In the wild, they fly miles every day, form deep social bonds, and live rich, stimulated lives.
In captivity, many suffer from stress, boredom, and psychological distress.

🦦 Sadly, many otter species are under threat due to the illegal wildlife trade.
Life in captivity is no substitute for the wild.
Help make a difference: don't share social videos of pet otters and avoid cruel venues such as otter cafes.

A trade system moving live animals at this scale raises major welfare concerns. The findings highlight concerns including stress, injury, dehydration, and mortality, especially for highly sensitive animals like chameleons.

This is a moment for stronger scrutiny, stronger safeguards & stronger policy action. Wild animals are sentient beings - they should not be reduced to commercial units in a system that overlooks welfare, weakens oversight, and raises growing ecological and public health concerns.
