Did you know many people don't realise hens naturally enjoy dust bathing, foraging and exploring? When animals can't perform their natural behaviours, they suffer.

@Birdlipper We monitor the companies after they commit to the BCC, and publish this through Chicken Track: https://t.co/3oI4JLwNAZ. As soon as the food companies dropped the BCC, we called them out and are continuing to put the pressure on to ensure they reinstate their commitments. (2/2)

Wagamama says it's “sustainable + ethical”.

But after seven years of promises, it's still serving #Frankenchickens.

A truly sustainable food system can't ignore animal welfare.

@Birdlipper KFC have not received any awards from us relating to broiler (meat) chickens. It is not a case that companies "could never deliver" on their commitments to the Better Chicken Commitment, as other companies have achieved their commitments - showing it is possible. (1/2)

[Compassion in World Farming International @CIWF_Global]

The EU's Vision 2040 featured low-trophic aquaculture & animal welfare.

But it still supports growth in carnivorous fish farming, fails to tackle reliance on wild-caught fish feed, & offers no commitment to welfare legislation for farmed aquatic animals.

“Lose soil and, sooner or later, you lose food.”

In his latest blog, our Global CEO @philip_ciwf explores why the UK's food system is more fragile than many people realise, and what needs to change 👇 https://t.co/AuXmmRHDZc

Something that really sends us is how often compassion for animals gets framed as unrealistic when it should be the bare minimum.

🚨 Britain's abattoirs are disappearing.

If animals are farmed for food, they should be raised & slaughtered close to where they're born. But as local facilities close, animals can face longer journeys before slaughter.

🐔 GOOD NEWS: Plans to expand a factory farm in Norfolk have been withdrawn.

A huge thank you to everyone who spoke up against the proposal.

This result shows the power of communities standing up to factory farming. 💚

🐷 Up to 35 days in a cage.

That's how long some mother pigs can spend confined around giving birth.

The Government has a chance to end this. Tell them it's time to #EndTheCageAge. 👇 https://t.co/ENFVuef2k3

🐔 Behind every egg is a hen.

Millions of hens across the UK spend their lives in cages, unable to properly dustbathe, forage or explore. They deserve better.

✍️ Tell the UK Government to release the consultation on cages: https://t.co/Dkcl4uMAot

💧 Our #rivers are in crisis.

But there is hope.

The new #StateOfOurRivers Report explores the pressures facing rivers across the UK and Ireland – and the evidence that action can make a difference.

A haunted house but it’s actually factory farming methods used in the UK 👻

🌱 This Black History Month, we're highlighting three Black agricultural innovators whose work continues to shape a more sustainable food system.

Their legacy can still be seen in farming today. 💚

Did you know chickens raised for meat in intensive systems can be slaughtered at around six weeks old?
