Compassion in World Farming EU

It’s a vicious cycle: factory farming intensifies climate pressure, chaos ensues, and farms face the consequences, putting animals & food security at risk. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, sign the Good Food For All ECI: www.goodfoodforall.eu

221 million pigs are farmed in the EU every year, where the average mother pig spends around half her life in a cramped, cruel cage. The @ec.europa.eu promised to phase out cages. It’s time to #EndtheCageAge Find out more & get involved👇 www.endthecageage.eu/en

@vincianebxl.bsky.social, our Head of EU, kicked off the countdown to cage-free legislation today, alongside MEPs and higher welfare farmers from across Europe. The direction is clear. The future is cage-free. #EndTheCageAge

This #WorldCageFreeDay starts the countdown for the @ec.europa.eu to deliver the long-promised animal welfare reforms — including a cage ban. Together with farmers leading the way, we’ll deliver a clear message: cages belong in history books. Join us: 📍 175 Rue de la Loi 🕙 10:00–13:00 📅 today

The EU must ensure billions of aquatic animals are protected by law - no more overcrowding, rough handling, prolonged time out of the water, and inhumane slaughter. Carp-e diem, @ec.europa.eu: it’s time to #RethinkFish

Reeling in awareness of the suffering of European farmed fish in front of the Council where ministers are gathered for the AGRIFISH meeting.    Will they let the welfare of billions of aquatic animals slip through the net?    It’s time to #RethinkFish

👀 Tag us if you spot the carp... we’re shining a spotlight on fish welfare   #RethinkFish

Tomorrow, the European Board on Agriculture and Food will gather to discuss how to make animal farming more sustainable. This is our take: www.ciwf.eu/media-and-ne... #EULivestockStrategy

🚨Farming carnivorous species of fish is fuelling the world’s overfishing crisis. This is because even more wild fish must be caught to feed farmed fish, than if those wild fish were fed to humans directly. Test your knowledge ⬇️ #RethinkFish www.ciwf.org/programmes/r...

Learn more about carp with our fish welfare expert, Dr Santiago Pintos. They are smart, social and complex fish 🐟 Yet, sadly, farming carp often results in great suffering, as exposed in our latest investigation. Watch it here: youtu.be/zbKXida4nqQ

Wishing you a joyful, compassionate festive season 🎄

With just a couple of days to contribute to the EU #AnimalWelfare consultation, our latest investigation exposes the suffering of farmed carp. The upcoming reform of the EU’s animal welfare rules must include specific legislation to protect fish & other aquatic animals across Europe.

🔍 New investigation coming tomorrow 🔍 We investigated 3 EU fish farms, and what we found was shocking and unacceptable. Stay tuned for the full story and be ready to act for animals who need our protection #RethinkFish

As EU ministers meet to discuss food security, our message is clear: redirecting feed crops like soy & wheat to people could feed 2 billion more every year🌱 Our #FoodnotFeed report shows it’s time to rethink the system - to feed people not factory farms: bit.ly/3M0n3eE
