A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last night for the screening of A Dairy Story 💚🐄 It was fantastic to see such a strong turnout & to continue the conversation afterwards with an engaging Q&A led by our Chief Policy Advisor, Peter Stevenson. 🎟️ https://bit.ly/4fomW7S

Britain reached its Diet Overshoot Day on 25 July, the point at which we've already exceeded the annual recommended balance of foods. We believe in transforming our food system through higher welfare, nature-friendly farming, & more balanced diets. More: https://bit.ly/4hNpI9s

Recent headlines claimed organic eggs are "worse for the environment" but this missed the bigger picture. We need a food system that supports both animals & the planet. That means farming fewer animals, raising them to higher welfare standards, & producing food more sustainably.

18 UK restaurant chains have broken their promise to improve chicken welfare. It’s estimated that 50 million chickens will suffer every year as a result, from issues like heart disease, lameness, & skin lesions. Please tell KFC to #GoForSlow: https://bit.ly/3RpWDX0

🦞 A major win for crustaceans in Wales. The Welsh Government has declared that boiling lobsters alive is "not an acceptable method of slaughter" and is now considering legislation to protect lobsters, crabs and other decapod crustaceans from this cruel practice.

When @chrisgpackham.bsky.social spoke out about factory farming on Celebrity Gogglebox, it sparked a national conversation. We explain the difference between factory farming & nature-friendly farming, and why supporting farmers who work with nature matters. 📖 Read more: https://bit.ly/4bouIxl
