Thank you to all MPs and Peers who have worked to end live exports in Parliament for years. And to all the orgs, campaigners and public who have tirelessly worked to end this vile trade. GB is the first in Europe to ban live animal exports & we hope other countries will…




Animal welfare labelling empowers consumers to make informed choices about the meat products they buy. We would like to see @DefraGovUK continue the progress made under the previous Government to implement a system of animal welfare labelling for meat products in the UK

Pigs are intelligent, social animals. Farrowing crates are outdated and inhumane. We’re calling for an end to the use of pig farrowing crates as soon as possible #EndCruelCrates #SaveOurSows 🐷

Fish are the forgotten billions. They deserve humane slaughter and legal protection. #FishWelfare

“A reduction in statutory welfare standards.” That’s how the House of Lords described the Government’s new law on chicken transport. They also raised serious concerns about: 🔹 Widespread non-compliance in the chicken industry 🔹 Limited enforcement of existing welfare rules 🔹…
🚨 As of today, legal protections for chickens during transport have been weakened. The government has changed the law to allow a harmful practice – handling chickens upside down by both legs rather than upright – simply because the industry already does it. 🧵👇
Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation is deeply disappointed by the passing of the Welfare of Animals (Transport) (Amendment) Regulations 2025, a new Government Amendment which will allow chickens and turkeys weighing less than 5kg to be routinely caught and handled by their…

Millions of laying hens are crammed in metal cages on UK factory farms where they each have space no larger than an A4 sheet of paper - unable to even spread their wings. End cages for laying hens

The Government is changing animal welfare law to allow millions of chickens to be carried upside down by their legs- a practice that is known to cause severe pain and suffering. MP @AdrianRamsay has tabled an EDM to block this. ✍️ Ask your MP to sign now before it comes into…
🔴 One year in power. Zero animal protection pledges delivered. Despite promises to usher in “the biggest boost for animal welfare in a generation”, the Labour government has failed to implement a single one of its flagship animal protection commitments. ❌ No ban on foie gras…

Have you read about our #CrateEscape campaign? Sows typically spend 22% of their adult breeding life in a cage so small she cannot turn around. Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland have outlawed this practice, but still around 200,000 sows in the UK suffer in these systems every year
