The #factoryfarming of animals is the greatest abuse of animals on the planet. It also jeopardises the very air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the nature we treasure. Yet humankind prefer to turn a blind eye to what goes on behind closed doors It shames us all @ciwf.org.uk

A government concerned about food security, animal welfare & our environment should be seeking to grow fewer but better-quality chickens - we cannot leave the poultry industry in charge of our poultry strategy www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/busine...

Trillions of fish pass through human hands/year, what are the ethics? "The first step is recognition. The next is responsibility. Fish feel pain" What we do with that knowledge will shape the future of our relationship with the oceans – and the future of our food www.resilience.org/stories/2026...

Researchers are finding evidence that fish feel pain. What does that mean for the ethics of seafood?

Fish are often treated as reflex-bound creatures, bodies without minds. Yet, study by study, from anatomy labs to behavioural experiments, mounting evidence to the contrary has emerged.
