A campaign to encourage #plantbased eating as the norm - we urgently need leadership from governments, councils and public bodies everywhere. The science is clear: "The planet can't sustain billions of meat-eaters" - #SirDavidAttenborough. #plantbasednorm #plantbasedbydefault
Let's get on with this without delay. We're always being told that the UK has the highest animal welfare standards. Really? The gassing of pigs with CO2 is far from 'humane'.
The UK Government have at last launched a consultation on ending the inhumane CO2 slaughter of pigs 🐖
It's about time and let us hope that this could truly bring about significant change

Most hotel rooms have a sign in the bathroom like this. Why don't they apply the same thinking to their restaurant menus by making them predominantly plant-based?
Absolutely right. This is one of the unseen, horrific practices of animal farming. Don't pay for it. Don't eat pigs. Don't eat animals.
🐷 @philip_ciwf joined the @LawDisorderShow podcast to discuss the continued use of CO₂ gas to slaughter pigs and why Compassion is calling for a ban.
The Government has committed to consulting on ending this practice. It must follow through.

ALT "The industry should listen to the science, listen to their own advice and just get on with doing the common-sense, ethical thing and ban carbon dioxide killing of pigs." Below is a small image of pigs in a pen. The text reads, "Philip Lymbery, Law and Disorder Podcast.
Brittany Ferries has at last done the right thing and banned this cruel trade. Now @Irish_Ferries, please. Profiting from cruelty is not a good look. #banliveexports #IrishFerries
🚨 HAPPENING NOW: We're outside Dover Port calling on Irish Ferries to stop transporting vulnerable calves on long live export journeys.
Animals are not cargo. This cruelty must end.

Rabbits are the unseen victims of factory farming. Please don't support this. Don't buy it. Don't eat animals. #InternationalRabbitDay #cruelty #sentience
It’s #InternationalRabbitDay
Rabbits have a desperately short life as industrially farmed species The majority, in caged farming systems with little space, cant stretch out, sit with ears erect or get up on haunches
Some can’t perform a single hop 🐇

Absolutely true. Intensive pig farming - and cruelty slaughter by CO2 gas - is a collective moral blind spot. Don't support this. Don't pay for it. Don't eat animals.
Imagine we discovered a basement crammed with 100 crated animals, filthy from living in their own waste, maniacally chewing the bars of their crates in a hopeless attempt to escape.
We then learned their owner had cut off parts of their bodies — teeth, tails, testicles — with a blunt knife and no pain relief.
We'd call him a sadist, a psychopath, a monster. We'd prosecute him for felony animal cruelty.
Now imagine he called his basement a farm and added thousands more animals in worse conditions.
We'd call him a pork producer. And we'd grant him legal immunity from our animal cruelty laws.
KFC has broken its promise to take fast-growing #Frankenchickens off the menu. The company must stop profiting from suffering. I’ve just sent them a clear message that their actions are unacceptable. Will you stand up for chickens and email KFC too? bit.ly/4wV1xdp 🐔📢

A woman called Michelle Farnham is now 17 days into a 3 week protest, living in a cage, at Trafalgar Square, to try and save a pig called Luna (who lives in an identical cage). She stays there day and night.
It has not had any big coverage, as far as I can see. I think it's a bit of a shame that violent and disruptive protest gets so much coverage, while quiet sort of self-sacrificing things like this, that do not harm anybody or any property, get less attention.
Whether you or I agree with her, or what she's trying to do, what an impressive commitment, eh?
FSA reports 'very significant' rise in heat-stressed livestock at abattoirs - FarmingUK News. Just imagine the suffering of animals being transported in the heatwave - many arriving dead or dying. Don't buy it. Don't pay for it. Don't eat animals. share.google/tdmbTnX1odMuaku…
It's #FarmAnimalsAwarenessWeek. For me it's Farm Animal Awareness Week EVERY week. That's why I'm vegan. Well done @AnimalRising for highlighting the plight of breeding sows. #veganforlife #michelleinthecrate #factoryfarming
The cost of cheap chicken is suffering ...
Misleading labels that often hide farm animal cruelty.
Speak out: bit.ly/4tI3vwf
I signed an open letter calling on global leaders to stop wasting food by feeding it to factory farms and prioritise #FoodNotFeed. Farmed animals should be reared in high-welfare, nature-friendly farms, eating foods people can’t eat. Will you join me? bit.ly/FoodNotFeed

This is Richard Smith. He probably wouldn't want you sharing this everywhere. It's him striking a poor horse over the head with a riding crop at the weekend.
Excellent article by #GeorgeMonbiot on the pointless cruelty and vacuous macho gratification of bluefin tuna fishing, 'the UK equivalent of bullfighting'. theguardian.com/commentisfre… @guardian #cruelty #cruelsport #bluefintuna
This is the reality of so-called 'autumn hunting'. Following a trail? No. The bland new name is to conceal its real purpose - to send hounds into woodland & train them to kill fox cubs. An outright ban is the only way to stop this. #HuntLies
On the day Climate Change Committee confirms that #meat consumption must significantly drop, it's good to see several #plantbased items on @ComptonVerney's menu. Please add a vegan hot sandwich though! #CCC #CCCReport #NetZero #sustainablefood
