Great concern that Labour’s pre-election assurances about implementation of the Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act are to be broken, and that they will hand the whole situation to the travel industry. Please support our work at this crucial time. https://t.co/mXuTvQkrTo
This is the reality for countless mother pigs in UK farms: exploited for profit, subjected to suffering, then discarded when no longer 'useful'.
Add your voice. Demand justice.

When planning your holidays make sure you choose ethical destinations. Do not visit venues where elephant riding, animal selfies or shows are advertised! Reject animal cruelty! Choose ethical tourism only.
Little elephant is stuck in a confined space, awaiting another beating with growing fear. End brutal elephant tourism. Urge our government to implement the Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act NOW!
Quang Nam Provincial Forest Protection Department acted on an ENV’s report, which included a violator’s Facebook profile and evidence of their illegal activity.
As a result, a man was issued an administrative fine for advertising red-whiskered bulbuls online.
Deaths due to disease, infection, and even cannibalism, are commonplace in animal farming. Animal farming is a nightmare - which needs to end. 🧵 #factoryfarming
A recent study found that vegans and vegetarians tend to be independent thinkers who value personal choice and demonstrate greater determination than those who consume animal products. 🧠

Two tiger trophies were confiscated from a temple in Nghe An, following a public report to the ENV Wildlife Crime Hotline 📞
Such displays violate the law and send the wrong message about wildlife protection.
The trophies were transferred to Nghe An - Xo Viet Nghe Tinh museum.
💷 Every year, millions in UK taxpayer subsidies prop up animal agriculture, an industry built on exploiting sentient beings, keeping prices low, profits high, and animals trapped in suffering.
Pigs, chickens, cows, and others endure short, confined lives while the government continues funding the very system causing their pain. They’re treated as production units, not individuals.
Why the subsidies? Governments claim they ensure affordable food, support farmers, stabilise markets, and keep producers competitive. Powerful agricultural interests and longstanding policies also keep these subsidies in place.
But there’s a better way. Redirecting funds to plant-based and sustainable food systems respects animal rights, improves public health, and reduces environmental damage. Plant-based agriculture uses fewer resources, cuts emissions, supports biodiversity, and offers new opportunities for farmers and communities, without exploitation.
It’s time to end subsidies for animal agriculture and invest in ethical, plant-based solutions.
🧾 Demand better. Choose vegan.

What is speciesism, and why should we care?
Speciesism is the assumption of human superiority that leads to the systematic disregard of the interests of our fellow animals. It is the belief that being human is a valid reason to deny other animals basic moral consideration. Speciesism targets others who are not humans, and is a form of discrimination comparable to racism and sexism.
Cows, like the one pictured here, are subjects of a life. They have desires, preferences, and a will to live. Their inherent value demands that we treat them with respect, not as resources or commodities, and not as means to our ends.
But in our current system, animals are denied their rights and are instead immorally classified as legal property. This means they are not recognised as individuals with rights of their own, but as objects to be bought, sold, used, and killed at the discretion of their 'owners'. This status strips them of moral consideration and reduces their lives to commodities.
Treating sentient individuals as property is fundamentally unjust. It allows their interests, no matter how significant, to be ignored whenever they conflict with human desires. As long as animals remain property, their exploitation will always be permitted and protected by law.
Dismantling speciesism requires more than kindness. It requires justice. If we reject the idea that might makes right, then we must reject the idea that humans are entitled to dominate others simply because we can.
Ending speciesism means challenging the everyday norms that make animal use seem normal, natural, or necessary. It means refusing to participate in their exploitation. It means going vegan, not as a diet, but as a social and ethical commitment to nonviolence and equality.
Animals do not need bigger or better cages. They need liberation.
