🚨New insight alert 🚨
Check out our latest piece on plant-based pet food - including the biggest barriers pet guardians encounter and why we think our canine companions have the greatest tractability: bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-item...
We're about 3 weeks late to shout about this (😬), but our report with The Vegan Society is live! Check it out if you want to know what in the world is up with veganism. www.vegansociety.com/sites/defaul...

We see your "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series", and raise you "Quantifying the Small Body Problem: A Meta-Analysis: A Webinar" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTi3...)
Are animal advocates making more animal suffer? We're not talking crop deaths. We're talking the #SmallBodyProblem. (5/5)
"Support Surges for UK Ban on Low Welfare Imports" (bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-item...)
The public agrees. Farmers agree. And animal advocates agree. Lower-welfare animal product imports have no place in the UK. The UK is outsourcing #AnimalCruelty, and Brits won't stand for it. (4/5)
Animal advocates have an opportunity to join hands with animal farmers.
Half of the animal farmers we surveyed would consider stopping livestock farming entirely if financially viable alts were accessible.
We can truly #SupportBritishFarmers by supporting a just transition from livestock. (3/5)
"The Hidden Toll of Slaughter on Farmers’ Mental Health" (bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-item...)
Many British livestock farmers struggle with sending their animals to slaughter. Some are even traumatised. But few talk about it. (2/5)
It's been a while since we posted here. Here's what you missed on BR (🧵1/5)
Such a pleasure carrying out this study with @annayahprosser.bsky.social!! It's high time we ditch the meat = masculine narrative, but untangling this connection isn't easily done. Our study uncovered 6 strategies to get #meatreduction to resonate with men - who's joining us to make it happen?
Our latest study found a sig connection between #masculine norms and #meat.
Then, we ran focus groups to explore the issue in men's own words.
So, which masc norms are driving the connection, what do men think about it, and how can interventions actually appeal to men? ➡️ tinyurl.com/mukzks92

In my latest conversation with #AskYourself:
- He gives his take on @bryantresearch.bsky.social's new Positions!
- We agree on most positions, but find space to disagree on one or two...!
- I reflect on my @swdtp.bsky.social placement at @vivacharity.bsky.social!
🚨 Our pets consume a staggering ~20% of the world's meat and fish. This massive demand has significant ethical and environmental implications, making sustainable pet food not just a niche but a necessity. tinyurl.com/bdfu95pb
🚨 Are we really focusing on the right water villains?
Forget headlines about AI's thirst. While the water footprint of data centres is rising and absolutely demands our attention, it pales in comparison to the true Leviathan of water consumption: animal agriculture

A recent report reveals that a staggering 95% of the UK's potential trade partners have lower animal welfare standards. This means products produced using methods illegal here – like sow stalls and barren battery cages – could flood our markets.
🟥 The UK faces a critical choice: will we allow our commitment to animal welfare to be undermined by imports?

Even brief interventions can have a tangible impact on behaviour. This highlights the potential of strategically using accessible and engaging video content to inform and empower individuals to make more sustainable and ethical food choices.

Can a single video sway our forks? New research says yes 🌱
We've wrapped up two fascinating studies exploring whether short educational videos about the environmental and ethical consequences of animal agriculture can nudge actual food choices amongst university students. Here's what we found:
Retailers and government initiatives are crucial drivers of the ongoing transition toward plant-based diets in both countries, and shifts will be supported by price, familiarity, and marketing
The #Dutch government's ambition for a 50:50 plant-animal protein balance by 2030 is gaining momentum as plant-based options become increasingly cost-competitive vegconomist.com/studies-and-...
So how does this compare to #UK #plantbased trends?

🚨 British farming reality check: one new #factory #farm every week!
Despite UK's reputation for animal welfare, our latest insight findings show a troubling reality: nearly 94% of UK-reared chickens and other farmed animals only meet the legal minimum standards tinyurl.com/4epa6vb4
With only 5% of UK-reared chickens RSPCA-certified and 1% organic-certified, there's a critical gap between perception and actual conditions.
