Supporting Compassion in World Farming, sharing @ciwf’s vision to end factory farming & the export of live farm animals.➡️

[Compassion Edinburgh - Local Volunteer Group @CompassionEdin1]

Around 8 million UK hens are confined in cages every year. 💔

Now we have a new Government, @ciwf is seizing this moment to bring action.

Please ask @SteveReedMP (new Secretary of State for @DefraGovUK) to #EndTheCageAge ➡️ https://t.co/LluwrzaHDz

[Compassion in World Farming UK @ciwf]

We’re want to see a ban cages for laying hens.

8 million hens are caged each year, in spaces so small they’re unable to even stretch their wings.

It’s time to #EndTheCageAge and give hens a life worth living.

[Compassion Edinburgh - Local Volunteer Group @CompassionEdin1]

The Scottish Government has launched a consultation on their proposal to end the use of cages for egg laying hens. Follow this simple guide to submit your response before it closes on the 25th June. https://t.co/q5kN83ssMa

Fish farming is often thought to be efficient, but for every 100 grams of protein fed to an intensively farmed salmon, only 28g ends up in what people eat. For other farmed fish, the proportion is even lower. 🐟 #RethinkFish

Tonight’s episode of Countryfile looks like it will be an important watch – set to investigate why a record number of salmon are dying prematurely in fish farms. Tune in from 19:00 on BBC One. 🐟🐟🐟

In the UK industrially-reared chickens, hens, pigs and dairy cows generate the equivalent of over 100 double decker buses of toxic poo, EVERY HOUR! 😲💩

Tell your council to refuse permission for new polluting, inhumane and unethical factory farms: https://t.co/C3FFfN7QCd

EXCLUSIVE: NatureScot granted a two year research licence to a private company to test new technology that will disturb dolphins, porpoises and whales at several sites in Scotland, including the Sound of Harris. https://t.co/OJKOv0H8XP

🗓SAVE THE DATE 🗓 14/06 #BanLiveExports: International Awareness Day

In the UK we'll be calling out the Government’s shocking backtracking on delivering a live export ban. Plus, we’ll be launching a brand new campaign video - this is a sneak peek! More: https://t.co/7R3nbbfkVB

NEW ACTION: the UK Government has just abandoned the Bill that would have banned live exports from Britain.

It's a betrayal of farm animals and everyone who’s fought so hard to #BanLiveExports.

We mustn't give up. Please speak out now➡️ https://t.co/lIz1PxL9Fv

[Compassion Edinburgh - Local Volunteer Group @CompassionEdin1]

Yesterday’s @DefraGovUK announcement that the Bill to #BanLiveExports has been dropped is disgraceful and very bad news for UK farmed animals.

@ciwf’s Global CEO @philip_ciwf has written to @theresecoffey to express their outrage.

[Compassion Edinburgh - Local Volunteer Group @CompassionEdin1]

It is a betrayal of trust that the Government has decided that its own Bill to #BanLiveExports should now be abandoned.

This cruel & outdated trade has been a stain on British animal welfare standards for far too long.

[Compassion in World Farming UK @ciwf]

BREAKING: The Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill was introduced in 2021 to #BanLiveExports from Great Britain but it's been DROPPED.

Instead, this manifesto promise has been delegated to the uncertain future of a possible private member's Bill.

New campaign launching ASAP.
