I really hope that @FIFAcom@FIFAWorldCup will step up and do what is right. 3 MILLION street dogs are being slaughtered in Morocco to make way for the #WorldCupMedia They MUST stop this from happening now.

Our co-founder says “Most consumers would be shocked to learn some dairy products can come from cows permanently confined in industrial-scale units. We believe the public has a right to honest food labelling so consumers can understand how animals were raised and support higher welfare British farming”, in article by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism on UK dairy cows confined indoors 24/7

Article titled: ‘EU preparing to offer key concession to UK in new post-Brexit agricultural deal’.
It’s important to protect Britain’s ban on animal exports for slaughter and fattening in trade agreements with the EU https://t.co/FBcsrmMWe4
Ministers should secure a clear animal welfare carve-out within trade agreements. Imported products must be required to meet the same welfare standards as those applied to UK producers. Practices prohibited in domestic farming should not be permitted to enter the UK market through imports
On factory farms across the UK, millions of animals are confined in cages, with no windows or natural daylight, unable to move freely or express their natural behaviours. This system isn’t just unsustainable, it’s inhumane. We need change #EndFactoryFarming
Please consider stopping the use of ALL products not on this list as they are most likely tested on animals. There is NO excuse for animal testing today. Please RT and share.

In a world that often feels deeply polarized, it is rare to find a topic where almost everyone agrees. The treatment of farm animals is one of them.
Surveys across many countries show that a strong majority of people, regardless of their diet, oppose common practices in animal agriculture. In the chart you can see survey data from the UK.
Given these surveys, and with the increasing availability of plant-based meat alternatives, one might expect people in these countries to be shifting away from consuming animal products.
But the data shows a different story.
At a global level, meat consumption is not only high but also increasing. Each year, hundreds of billions of land animals, fish, and crustaceans are farmed and killed to produce food.
There is a clear gap between what people want — meat produced without suffering — and what the food system delivers. Understanding this gap is the first step to closing it.
In a new article, Pablo Rosado makes the case that one of the biggest opportunities of our generation is to build a system where the food we eat reflects the values we already hold.
