Say hello to my little… beans! Kevin Bacon knows a legend when he sees one. Turns out, this little legend is good for your health, your wallet, and most importantly, animals. Swap meat for beans once a week and see how far one small change can go. Now THAT’S big bean energy. 🫘

Trophy hunting doesn't protect wildlife. It turns living, sentient animals into status symbols, putting vulnerable and endangered species at even greater risk. Sign the petition and urge the European Union to ban the import of hunting trophies: humaneworld.org/notinmyworld #HumaneWorld #NotInMyWorld
One year ago, we co-organized the XI REMA Conference in Madrid, bringing together scientists, policymakers, and advocates from across Europe to advance non-animal methods (NAMs) and strengthen the movement toward animal-free science. 🇪🇸🧪 Since then, momentum has continued to grow. 📈
Extreme weather events like wildfires can kill wild animals, either from the fire itself, through smoke inhalation or through loss of habitat. Learn how you can give wild animals a helping hand during extreme weather 👇🏼
Congratulations to ARDE, Spanish member of the @furfreealliance.bsky.social, on an important step towards ending fur farming in Spain. 🎉
Another step forward for wildlife. 🐘✈️ We welcome TUI Airlines' decision to officially prohibit the transport of hunting trophies in its air cargo operations. This announcement is more than a single company policy, it reflects a growing global movement.
🔴 The European Commission has removed Russian sable pelts from the EU sanctions list: an indefensible concession to the fur industry.
It's not just people who need support before, during and after a disaster. Animals need help too. And thanks to you, Humane World for Animals is tackling this problem from all angles. Together, we're creating a kinder world for animals. 🐾 #HumaneWorld
At Humane World for Animals, our trained Animal Rescue Team is ready to respond when officially requested by emergency authorities or shelters. We rescue stranded animals, help reunite pets with their families, support shelters, transport adoptable animals, and provide disaster preparedness training
Meet Octubre, rescued after devastating floods swept through Mexico in October 2025. Humane World for Animals was on the ground, treating 1,711 animals and delivering over 900 kg of food to communities in need. His story is proof that even in disaster, hope survives. 💙 #HumaneWorld
How can Europe build a more human-relevant, innovative research system? On Euractiv, we explain why the EU needs a €1 billion Moonshot for New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). Read more: www.euractiv.com/opinion/its-... #HumaneWorld
☀️ Summer holidays are almost here and the choices we make while travelling can have a huge impact on animals. From elephant rides and dolphin shows to wildlife selfies, horse-drawn carriages and souvenirs made from animal parts, many popular tourist experiences come at the cost of animal suffering.
What if helping animals could be as simple as switching one meal a week? 97.6 billion land animals are killed for food every year. That number can change and it starts with what's on your plate today.
For years, they endured liver biopsies, sedations, deliberate infections. Today, the chimpanzees at our sanctuary in Liberia get to simply be chimpanzees.🌿 This World Chimpanzee Day, we're celebrating their second chance: from lab cages to a life of play, grooming, and freedom! #WorldChimpanzeeDay
Every year, millions of dogs and cats are killed for the meat trade across Asia and demand peaks as summer temperatures climb. The good news: change is happening. But we need your voice to keep the momentum going. Share this post and help us end the dog and cat meat trade for good. 🐾
The European Commission just published the new Livestock Strategy. It marks an important opportunity to reshape the future of farming in Europe.
In 2021, the European Commission committed to proposing legislation to end caged confinement for all farm animals by 2026. That proposal still hasn't come. We're urging the EU Commission to fulfill its commitment for every animal still waiting. Share this post and help us make our voices heard!
🏆 Our award-winning documentary “Tuskers: Saving the Last Gentle Giants” has received a Gold Award at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa 2026 in the Wildlife and Conservation category. 👉🏻 https://youtu.be/UECvDu57zvM?si=gOTEIu0NaYnK4LJd
1.4 million citizens spoke up for animals. The European Commission promised action. That was 5 years ago. The Commission must deliver a clear legislative proposal to end cages for farm animals! We are not letting the Commission forget its commitment. We need action.Share the video to push for change
6.7 billion. That's how many chickens are slaughtered in the EU every single year. Each one deserves better than what conventional farming currently offers. We're working to change that, for all of them. Are you with us? #HumaneWorld
Kimchi’s fate was changed for the better. From being rescued from a South Korean dog meat farm to adopted into a loving home, this pup is living his best life (the one he always deserved!). #HumaneWorld
In 1957, a chicken raised for meat reached 0.9 kg in 56 days. By 2005, that number had jumped to 4.2 kg: same timeframe, nearly five times the weight. 🐓 A chicken's body was never meant to grow this fast.
Small choices add up, and together, we can help create a kinder food system for billions of hens.🐔💚 What you can do: ✔ Choose cage‑free eggs or try plant-based alternatives. ✔ Support businesses committed to better animal welfare. ✔ Tag friends and family, inspiring them to take these steps too!
Did you know chickens are smart and social? Yet chickens kept for meat production suffer in overcrowded and barren surroundings, are subjected to inhumane slaughter, and are prone to health issues associated with rapid growth. Show compassion to farmed animals by removing them from your plate! 🌱
Last week, we held an event at European Parliament to push for more funding for animal-free science. 💰🔬 Leaders from science, policy & industry all agree that Europe has the tools to move beyond animal testing. Now we need the political will & financial investment to make it happen. #HumaneWorld
The European Commission has finally released a “Roadmap towards phasing out animal testing.” 🎉🇪🇺 This milestone is in response to the ECI “Save Cruelty-Free Cosmetics,” supported by more than 1.2M people calling for a transition to animal-free science.
Magilla looked completely at peace as she lounged on a log in her habitat, soaking in the quiet moment. She’s also one of our most adventurous macaques. Her confidence and curious spirit make her a favorite among her care team. 🩷 📷Dianna Lydick/Black Beauty Ranch #HumaneWorld
Change starts with compassion and with people willing to stand up for animals every single day. Danielle Bays is one of those people. Behind every rescued cat and every policy change, there are changemakers making a difference. Together, we can build a more humane future for all animals.
Summer heat can turn life-threatening for dogs and cats faster than most people realise. The inside of a parked car can turn deadly for your pet in minutes, even on a mild day. But the risks don't stop there.
Animals are often overlooked in disaster preparedness - at a time when Europe faces increasingly complex crises, from climate-related disasters to public health emergencies. On 18 June, our Executive Director Ruud Tombrock will speak at a high-level EU policy webinar.
