Sharing another commitment from the new UK Government Animal Welfare Strategy!
Culling male chicks is a common practice in the egg industry. As male chicks cannot lay eggs, they are often considered a 'waste product'. We welcome steps to end this cruel practice.

Around 90% of pigs sent for slaughter in the UK are currently killed using CO2. This involves lowering pigs into a CO2 chamber, where they panic, fight for breath, and eventually suffocate.
Steps to end this cruel method are long overdue.

The UK Government will be consulting on legislation to reduce suffering at slaughter for fish.
77 million fish are farmed and slaughtered in the UK every year, but despite this, there are currently very few legal protections for these sentient animals.

The Government's Animal Welfare Strategy includes a commitment to support voluntary efforts to move away from the use of fast-growing meat chicken
breeds.
While we ultimately want to see more than voluntary progress, this is a welcome step. We will continue our work to improve chicken welfare.

The Italian Government will end the culling of day-old male chicks by the end of 2026!
Hatcheries will soon be required to use in-ovo sexing that can detect the sex of an embryo before it hatches, instead of cruel culling.
Great work from our friends at Animal Equality Italia. 👏

Edie Bowles (@animallawfdn.bsky.social) highlights that misleading labels are not just a moral issue, but a legal one too. Misleading images of rolling hills of factory farmed products must be stopped, and existing laws must be enforced.

Today we’re in Parliament to highlight misinformation on animal products.
100% of British supermarket websites depict animals outside, despite 85% of UK farmed animals being reared in intensive conditions.
Alongside @animallawfdn.bsky.social & @humaneworlduk.bsky.social, we’re calling for change.
