Animal Equality launched a campaign in 2020 asking the Italian government and the chicken industry to put an end to the massive killing of 25-40 million male chicks. Yesterday, the Italian Parliament voted and approved the ban on male chick culling in the egg industry.

🚨 Right now, a bill to ban foie gras in Brazil is sitting on President Lula's desk waiting to be signed. Go to @LulaOficial and ask him to sign it today.

Thank you @DaytonDailyNews for covering this. Millions of hens are suffering in extreme confinement while Kroger has yet to honor its cage-free commitment. We are demanding @kroger keep its promise. https://t.co/qcEjddSVCq

Corporate giants can’t ignore the truth when we’re at their doorstep. ✊By taking a stand in Paris this morning, we’ve forced @SodexoGroup to the table.

This is the power of activism in action, holding the powerful accountable until every cage is empty.⛓️🐔

Our latest investigation exposes what happens when wild deer are pulled into the same system as billions of farmed cows, pigs, and chickens. 🦌 🐄 🐖 🐓

We shared the footage with authorities, filed an official complaint, and are demanding this slaughterhouse be shut down.

🚨 You can help. For the next five days, every gift for animals is doubled. (continued in thread)

Prediction: the pork industry will come to regret pushing the Save Our Bacon Act.

Gestation crates have survived this long for one reason: most people don't know about them.

The Save Our Bacon Act fight is changing that. It's exposing millions of people — including some very influential ones — to what gestation crates actually are.

The pork industry can keep saying they're a "science-based" solution for "animal care." It will never win this debate. Anyone with common sense knows the crates are cruel.

Every additional day of public debate about the Save Our Bacon Act is a day closer to a world without gestation crates.

🚨 Animal activist physically assaulted in Guadalajara, Mexico. @Marriott can surround itself with police. It can have activists arrested. It can try to push animal suffering out of sight.

But hens are still confined. Their suffering is still real. And Marriott still owes them more than silence.

BREAKING NEWS: Sen. Marshall (KS) — the former Senate sponsor of the "Save Our Bacon" Act — has had a change of heart. This is the most significant moment yet in the campaign to stop SOB. Credit where it's due: it takes integrity to evolve on an issue. Kansas farmers and animals are better for it. The momentum against SOB continues to grow.

EXCLUSIVE: A salmon farming giant 'twice misled' the Scottish Government about its operations, campaigners have alleged after the release of Freedom of Information files and covertly recorded video https://t.co/J6Li2UZvcn

Millions of hens are trapped in battery cages right now, too small to stretch their wings, too cramped to move. This is standard practice in the egg industry. Cage-free is progress, even if there’s more work to do 📣

[Cincinnati CityBeat @CityBeatCincy]

Animal rights organization Animal Equality is protesting outside Kroger Headquarters after the grocery giant backtracked on a promise to sell 100% cage-free eggs by 2025. Read more on Kroger at the link in our bio.

“One of the great but incomplete moral revolutions of our lifetime has been the expansion of our compassion to encompass farm animals in a limited way, even as corporate agriculture pushes in the other direction,” our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes. https://t.co/JptuTpsr07

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: https://t.co/NWQbJK6JTc I welcome your comments.

Some in Congress want to suppress plant-based meat innovation.

Here's my op-ed in today's @dcexaminer outlining why this new legislation is so ill-conceived.

THIS JUST IN 🚨 Peaceful protesters threatened at Kroger’s HQ. Kroger promised cage-free eggs by 2025. They failed. When advocates showed up to ask why, Kroger’s security threatened and intimidated them.

Kroger must stop putting people’s safety at risk and answer the question: What is your plan to go cage-free, as promised?

Share this video and tag @kroger if you believe companies should be held accountable.

[Jose Valle @Jose_Valle]

.@kroger it is shameful that one of your employees at the headquarters in Cincinnati has threatened violence against a peaceful protester defending hens. Shame on you Kroger!

Getting hens out of cages is the first step. Kroger needs to take it. Email their decision makers and tell them enough. ➡️ https://t.co/sLqnF14xgw

[Animal Equality @AnimalEquality]

Kroger's 'Fresh for Everyone' slogan doesn't hold up 🚫@kroger promised 'Fresh for Everyone': fresh for customers, and a cage-free future for hens. They've delivered on neither. Hens are still packed into filthy cages, and that commitment has been quietly dropped.
