It’s time for the European Commission to #EndTheCageAge for all farmed animals. It must deliver the first proposals this autumn. No more delays. Millions of animals in cages have been waiting long enough.

An entire life spent in a barren tank just to feed luxury markets. The science is clear: octopus farming cannot meet animal welfare needs. It would empty our oceans. And it is not needed to feed the world. ️✍️ Help stop octopus farms: bit.ly/471yPwV

There are far too many sentient beings capable of feeling fear, frustration and pain, brutally abused and cruelly treated in this world. When we stand up for the vulnerable, whether human or non-human, we become better versions of ourselves #KindnessMatters philiplymbery.com/the-transfor...

1.4 billion pigs were slaughtered worldwide in 2024. Behind this staggering figure are billions of individual animals. Many suffered on factory farms. We're calling for an end to industrial farming and a transition to a kinder food system: bit.ly/4zBOP5u
