UK Government, ban cages for hens. End the Cage Age.

UK Government, ban cages for hens. End the Cage Age.

As the UK Government's consultation on phasing out cruel cages for hens closes today, we're calling for legislation to be introduced ASAP.

Itโ€™s time to #EndTheCageAge and give hens a life worth living.

Thanks to the amazing work of Sasha Farm, Lazarus the sheep has made an amazing recovery. ๐Ÿ‘

Most animals arenโ€™t. ๐Ÿ’” But theyโ€™re no different and deserve the same right to live. Go vegan. ๐ŸŒฑ

University of Southampton students vote for plant-based menus Plant-based meals will be the standard option for students at the University of Southampton.

Welcome news! @unisouthampton.bsky.social campus is now solely plant-based. This is down to the great efforts of Plant-Based Univerisites who have been campaigning for universities to adopt 100% plant-based catering.

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history.

Food firms urge Europe not to ban calling non-meat products โ€˜sausagesโ€™ Exclusive: Manufacturers tell European Commission proposed ban would cause unnecessary confusion

Calling non-meat food after meat staples, provides an easy transition for meat eaters who wish to eat less meat an attractive alternative. Such discussions reflect a public becoming increasingly conscious of the suffering animal farming inflicts as well as the heath benefits of eating less meat.

This isn't just about animal rights! It sets a dangerous precedent allowing government to label anything as 'key infrastructure', making it far easier to criminalise protest around them. Sign petition over at @protectthewild.bsky.social

The Guga hunt โ€” the killing of baby gannets for food โ€” is legal in Scotland only because the law makes an exception for it as a โ€œtraditionalโ€ practice thatโ€™s gone on for centuries.

Please sign the petition to change the law and end the hunt.

Law change against animal testing protest 'draconian and almost certainly unlawful' The new law means that peaceful protest against animal testing facilities could lead to 12 monthsโ€™ imprisonment and unlimited fines.

#AnimalTesting protest law is an overreach

#CrueltyFreeInternational, along with other #AnimalProtection organisations, believes that this definition is a significant overreach

Animal Testing is Not 'Key National Infrastructure' Lawyers for Animals is a community of lawyers who protect all animals by helping to enforce and educate about animal protection law. www.lawyersforanimals.co.uk

Yesterday the House of Lords voted not to block the Governmentโ€™s Public Order Act (2023). Expanding the definition of key national infrastructure, meaning peaceful protests on animal testing facilities will face criminal sanctions. This is not just a violation of animal rights but of human rights!

"We want to stop them bleeding people dry."

The Green Party want to see stricter regulations on gambling to reduce harm.

Nigel Farage thinks gambling shops are great places for lonely people to hang out...

What do you think?

Perhaps the idea of lab meat (and dare we say meat substitutes) is still heavily linked to eating meat, rather than refocusing on the endless possibilities of a plant-based diets. But ultimately ending the livestock industry, would be a big win!

Norway will phase out fast-growing chickens and male chick culling.

Norway will phase out fast-growing chickens and male chick culling.

Most chickens farmed for meat are now bred to grow so big, so fast they struggle to walk.

In Norway, this is set to change.

The largest meat producer & the Norwegian Meat & Poultry Industry Association aim to phase out fast-growing chicken breeds and stop culling male chicks.
