‼️ BREAKING ‼️

ANIMAL RISING SUPPORTER TO LIVE INSIDE FARROWING CRATE FOR 3 WEEKS

This morning, a farrowing crate was placed in Trafalgar Square. Replicating the time a mother pig would spend in one, Michelle Farnham, an Animal Rising Supporter, will live, eat, and sleep there, showing the reality of the life of a mother pig in factory farms.

In similar crates, the majority of mother pigs in the UK will be forced to give birth and try to raise their children. They can’t even turn around inside them.

This is just the beginning, later today the first undercover investigation of End Factory Farming will be dropping.

🚨NEW: We’ve exposed the lobby protecting factory pig farming in the UK.

The National Pig Association has spent more than 25 years lobbying the government, MPs and supermarkets on behalf of the pig industry.

❗️Its chair is a former government minister. Its former chief executive came straight from the government’s farming department. The actions of the NPA have a direct impact on government policies on animal welfare, farming regulations and more.

❗️NPA leaders not only work hand in hand with factory farms - they own them too. Our undercover footage inside their farms shows dying pigs, injuries, and crowded, filthy living conditions.

❗️The NPA depends on staying invisible. Most people have never heard of it, and for years it has worked in the dark without having to answer to anyone.

That ends today. We’re letting them know we’re watching 👀

❗️Ask your MP whether they’ve met the NPA and what was said. Every politician who takes their calls should know that someone is now keeping track.

🔦 Help us shine a light on the National Pig Association.

Over the past few days, we have been back in contact with Red Court and have received confirmation that Luna is alive. However, she is currently back in the farrowing unit again.

❗️We are going to make sure the industry can no longer ignore Luna, and that’s why we will taking her story to the National Pig Awards on Monday 16th.

🐴 Week 1 update: the last Grand National Trial

Back in April 2023, people took peaceful action in an attempt to stop the Grand National and prevent horses from being harmed. 118 people were arrested for standing up to protect horses.

This week, a new trial started for the eight people accused of conspiracy to commit public nuisance for taking action to protect horses from harm. Hear from Claudia and Rose as they share updates on the first week of the trial and what's been happening so far.

[Animal Rising @AnimalRising]

Whilst Luna waits for her freedom, they are celebrating. But we will change that.

🚨Let’s shut it down for Luna! 🚨

On Monday, November 16th, we will be disrupting the National Pig Awards 2026.

After almost 40,000 signatures, and several attempts to negotiate Luna’s release with Red Court’s owners, we feel like we have no alternative but to directly let the industry know that it is time for them to stop ignoring Luna and the public’s demand for her to be released to a sanctuary.

🐷 Leila, Nova, and Maia are safe.

They’re living happy lives with room to run and play, dirt to root in, and hay to nest in. They can be themselves.

The life that pigs like Luna are still living inside factory farms could not be more different. Freedom is what every animal inside a factory farm deserves, but for the majority of them this will never happen.

[Animal Rising @AnimalRising]

❗️Animal factories take everything away from pigs like Luna. It doesn’t have to be that way.🐷

In their natural spaces, pigs are clean and build nests, they love to play and have their bellies rubbed, and build bonds with each other.

This is the world that could exist without factory farming, and is now the world that exists for Leila, Nova, and Maia after we rescued them.

Luna, like every other mother pig, deserves a better life, one where she can experience freedom, love and respect. That is why Dr Sarah Benn joined Animal Rising to ask for Luna to be freed.

❗️ Today we went to Red Court again to ask for Luna to be released to a sanctuary.

Earlier in March this year, we followed Luna for three weeks, from the moment she was forced into a farrowing crate until she was taken out, after her piglets were taken away at a barely one month old.

[Animal Rising @AnimalRising]

🚨 Animal factories couldn’t be further from the spaces that pigs would naturally want to live in.

A system designed to genetically modify, grow, and kill millions of animals isn’t where mother pigs like Luna, or babies like Nova, Leila, and Maia were meant to spend their lives.

🐎 The last Grand National trial is about to begin.

On UK race tracks, a horse dies every other day. The Grand National is the biggest and most dangerous racing event for horses. Racing executives rake in huge profits while horses suffer on the tracks.

In April 2023, we tried to stop horses being harmed by stopping the Grand National race. In the end, 118 people were arrested for peacefully taking action to protect horses.

Last year, after two NOT GUILTY verdicts and a HUNG JURY, the remaining trials for Public Nuisance were dropped. When juries were presented with the truth about horse racing, they simply refused to convict ordinary people for standing up for animals.

Next week, the last Grand National trial begins, with eight people accused of conspiracy to commit public nuisance for taking action to protect horses from harm.

❗️Sign the petition to shut down The Grand National!🐴https://t.co/5q79pOdUNf

❗First they create the problem, then they mutilate pigs to solve it.

The industry tells us that cutting off the tails of piglets at just days old is caring for them, but it’s an unimaginable way of solving a problem that factory farming itself has created.

🐖 Tail docking is like breaking someone’s leg and then blaming them if it needs to be amputated.

Pigs aren’t the problem; factory farming is.

We’ve yet to hear back, but the work to free Luna continues. Over 30,000 of you have signed the demand for her freedom.

🐖 We’re pulling back the covers, showing the lives that pigs in factory farms could have in freedom and nature. 🌱

They’re naturally social animals and, just like humans, figure out who is the boss and who isn’t. With enough space to roam and woodland to root and nest in, pigs are capable of figuring out their natural hierarchies.

But in factory farms, they’re trapped with no room to escape confrontation and bullying.
