[Labour Animal Welfare Society @LabourAnimals]

Thank you to everyone who came to our stand and events at #Lab25.

We’re pushing the government to deliver on the promise for the biggest boost in animal welfare in a generation, and are grateful for the great support we’ve had at Conference.

Something crazy about hens in the US: most spend their lives in a cage with the space of an iPad, unable to spread their wings. Thankfully, almost half are already cage-free. If you want to help reduce this needless suffering, check out:

This month @farmkind_giving helped raise over $2M for farmed animals 🐔🐟🐖

I spoke to Vox’s @KennyTorrella about the fundraiser + our (spicy) “moral offsetting” idea: https://t.co/UrSJXyjOqh

"Going into this, I would’ve been happy if [Giving Multiplier] was one step above bake sale."

In the latest Changed My Mind podcast episode (co-hosted by @FarmKindThom), @Harvard Professor Josh Greene is interviewed about his fascinating career journey.

After studying moral dilemmas in the lab, he decided to apply his research to address real-world issues, co-founding Giving Multiplier to promote high-impact charitable giving and more recently launching Tango, a two-player quiz game that bridges partisan divides.

Changing people's minds isn't about facts and logical arguments - it is so often about identity and stories.

In the latest episode of Changed My Mind we chat to Dr Melanie Joy about the power of story telling and how one dodgy burger completely changed her life.

Your brain is literally "Velcro for bad experiences but Teflon for good ones." This negativity bias served our ancestors well, but today, not so much.

In our latest pod ep, Dr. Rick Hanson shares how to intentionally rewire your brain for greater resilience, and happiness.

[Jamie Woodhouse @JamieWoodhouse]

"Changed My Mind" is a new, soon to be top tier, podcast that resonates with @sentientism because:

1) It's about changing our minds (using evidence & reason)!
2) Non-human sentient beings are part of every conversation.

Congrats @FarmKindThom & Aidan.

Working 60 hours a week making PowerPoints that no one reads?

@rcbregman thinks we could use our fancy degrees to actually help people instead of making rich people richer. Crazy, right?

@RichardHanania Hey! My org, @farmkind_giving is linked in this article. We also built an offset calculator for your diet so you can 'offset' not just your shrimp eating but all your animal products if you want. You can have a look here: https://t.co/UeIxd430Kv

[The Humane League UK @humaneleagueuk]

Labour is using its first animal welfare policy since entering government to dilute standards by legalising the harmful practice of carrying chickens by their legs 😢 . Read more: 🔗 https://t.co/Ur1R5rc1sT 🔗

[The Humane League UK @humaneleagueuk]

Beak to tail, the number of chickens in the UK would go around the world 12.5 times. And yet these animals are hidden away, suffering on factory farms.

[Thom Norman @FarmKindThom]

@deane_ag @JamieWoodhouse @farmkind_giving @sentientism Why do you think they misrepresent what a factory farm is here? And why do you think welfarism and abolition are so mutually exclusive? To quote you back at yourself, "what's you citation?" :)

[Thom Norman @FarmKindThom]

I really enjoyed speaking with @JamieWoodhouse on how we can end factory farming and the ethics that drives me to work on this problem with @farmkind_giving - check out the full podcast!
