As a result of exploring ways to take forward CEFAW’s work in the US, we’re delighted that a collaboration between @BeCreatureKind, @NRPEorg, and @CreationJustice led to an @alliancebaptist statement on Christian Ethics and Animal Agriculture, linked here: https://t.co/IEX9tTzYuF
Do you know how pigs are killed for food in the UK? This week, Claire Colley and @Andrew_Wasley wrote for the @guardian about @joeyCarbstrong’s video footage of pigs being stunned with carbon dioxide, the most common stunning method. It’s appalling. 1/10

How wonderful to hear this update about how children at @SaightonPrimary are using what they’ve learned from the CEFAW project about what chickens need to flourish to engage successfully with the school’s caterer!
We presented our chef @_HutchisonCater with a handmade gift, asking him to consider using free range eggs for all of our school meals. We are delighted that he has agreed! What a wonderful piece of courageous advocacy in action @CEFAWproj@Craftivists@chesterdbe1#gentleprotest
Is this is the oldest evidence of concern about cruelty to farmed animals? An Egyptian relief dated around 2000 BCE shows a cow shedding a tear that she is not able to suckle her calf (Pritchard, The Ancient NE in Pictures, 1954). 4000 years on, many more cows suffer this grief.
A new episode of @TheREPodcast1 - this one is our friend and former @TRSChester colleague @DLClough exploring Christian ideas about animal flourishing, and their place in Christian salvation narratives. https://t.co/rHmfU35GYS
