We’re using more water than the planet can replace, says @unuinweh.bsky.social – and factory farms are making it worse. CIWF Research & Policy Advisor Dr. Tayla Hammond outlines what this means for food security. Sign our open letter: https://bit.ly/4rrJU2t

NY followers — this is your chance to protect octopuses from factory farming. 🐙 Tell your state reps to support the bill banning octopus farming in New York. Share with people you know in NY so they can take action too! How to help: https://bit.ly/3ZpAhVO #BanOctopusFarming #NYAction

Turning edible crops into feed and then into meat is one of the least efficient ways to feed a growing population.

You don’t have to be perfect to make a difference. Every meal is a chance to support a better food system.

As a major winter storm brings snow and ice to the U.S. this weekend, remember this: factory farming drives climate change, fueling more extreme weather events that harm communities, animals, and food systems. Read our Climate Doom Loop report -> https://bit.ly/4oN4Zn4

Reminder: Factory farming is a major driver of climate pollution, water contamination, and biodiversity loss.

CIWF U.S. Executive Director Matthew Dominguez spoke with The Gumbo Pot Substack about the Farm Bill, animal law in the U.S., and the future of animal welfare in our food system. Read the full Q&A here: https://thegumbopot.substack.com/p/colombia-the-empathy-law-america

CIWF USA executive director Matthew Dominguez recently sat down with @ourhenhouse.org to discuss how welfare reforms can act as a gateway for farmed animal protection. Listen to the full episode here: https://bit.ly/3LBFWor

A healthy America requires new, bold regenerative policies, not branding, says Matthew Dominguez of @ciwfusa.bsky.social.

All I want for Christmas is to end factory farming.

@usdagov.bsky.social is the largest food purchaser in the federal government—spending billions each year for schools, food banks, & more. New bill proposes aligning USDA food purchases with values of fairness, health & sustainability. @markey.senate.gov @adams.house.gov https://bit.ly/48Jjdj7

THANK YOU 🙏 @markey.senate.gov & @adams.house.gov for introducing the EFFECTIVE Food Procurement Act to leverage BILLIONS spent on food by @usdagov.bsky.social to help build a fair, healthy & sustainable food system! https://bit.ly/48Jjdj7

@usdagov.bsky.social announced a regenerative ag program—and highlighted a dairy it previously investigated for animal cruelty. Thank you to @thenewlede.bsky.social for reporting on this. Read more: https://bit.ly/4iT9XfH #USDA #AnimalWelfare

@usdagov.bsky.social just announced $700M for "regenerative agriculture"—but chose a farm with CONFIRMED animal abuse as its poster child. Our statement on today's #MAHA announcement & why it's factory farm regen-washing, not real reform. 👇

“Soil is the frontline of Earth’s recovery.” Our CEO @philip_ciwf breaks down why soil health is central to climate, food security & biodiversity in this new @pass_blue op‑ed: https://passblue.com/2025/12/07/why-soil-is-the-frontline-of-earths-recovery/

Today is World Soil Day! Soil is the foundation of our food and ecosystems, but it's under threat from, you guessed it, factory farming. We need to invest in regenerative farming that nourishes the land and feeds people sustainably, and scrap industrial agriculture for good.🌱

When we fight for farmed animals, we fight for a future where no animal is treated as a machine. This Giving Tuesday, your gift goes 2X further thanks to a generous $25,000 match. 🐖💚 Their future starts with you: ciwf.com/GT2025

A major win for animals and voters! 182 House Democrats just backed Prop 12 and demanded Congress reject efforts to roll back animal welfare standards. #CompassionWins #Prop12 #AnimalWelfare

This Thanksgiving, let’s ask: are we feeding families—or factory farms? Nearly 70% of U.S. grain goes to animals in industrial systems, not "people." Our latest op-ed in @commondreams.org -> commondreams.org/opinion/feed... #FactoryFarming #FoodWaste #AnimalWelfare

You check every label—but the real danger isn’t listed. 😡 Drugs like ractopamine + carbadox are banned abroad but still used here. Now, Big Ag’s “Save Our Bacon” Act would block state food safety laws. 🛑 Tell Congress: bit.ly/3Lp6dpK

You can read every label and still miss the danger. Drugs like ractopamine aren't listed—and Big Ag wants it illegal for states to warn us. Local food safety laws matter. Don’t let them take that power away. -> https://bit.ly/3Lp6dpK

Factory farming impacts animals, people, and the planet—and talking about it can feel overwhelming. We just released a guide to help you start the conversation with research-backed methodology: https://bit.ly/49KU5JE #factoryfarming #animalwelfare #plantbased

We're at #COP30 this week, sharing the stories of farmers like Paulo Ricardo Castoldi, whose livelihood has been hit by flooding, caused, in part by the climate crisis.

Rebalancing industrial animal farming cuts emissions, limits disease risk, protects biodiversity, and strengthens food security, reminding us that human, animal, and planetary well-being are inseparable. Our latest op-ed for @commondreams.org #COP30 https://bit.ly/4qSTImw

Family farmers support #Prop12. #WashingtonDC #Farmers #EATSAct #SaveOurBaconAct

Live from DC: more than 200 farmers gathered to meet with Congress and share their opposition to the EATS Act and support for #Prop12. This morning, they are hosting a rally in front of the Capitol. #farmers #animalwelfare #agriculture

🚨NEW UNDERCOVER FOOTAGE🚨 This is the cruel slaughter method the world’s first octopus farm @PescanovaCorp plans to use. Ask your policymakers to keep them wild: bit.ly/4o6N8GJ ⚠️ Distressing content #WorldOctopusDay

Two new op-eds from our team this week: 📢 In The Washington Times, we break down #Prop12 and why it matters for animals and democracy. 📢 In @commondreams.org, we expose how the pork lobby’s power grab puts farmers and voters at risk.

Farmed animals don’t belong on the climate sidelines. At Climate Week NYC 2025, Compassion in World Farming made sure they weren’t. Check out the full roundup of our involvement: 🔗https://www.ciwf.com/media-and-news/blog/farmed-animals-take-the-spotlight-at-climate-week-nyc-2025/

CIWF US Executive Director Matthew Dominguez just delivered a powerful keynote at SORA, connecting animal welfare & regenerative agriculture! Bringing animals back to pasture is key to climate solutions. #ClimateWeekNYC #RegenerativeAgriculture #EndFactoryFarming

Animal welfare progress isn’t stalling—it’s accelerating. - Nearly 50% of eggs are cage-free - 40%+ of pork from crate-free systems - Nearly 1B chickens set to benefit from reforms 📢 Read our latest rebuttal in Meatingplace: meatingplace.com/animal-welfa...

Politicians bragged about who makes the “best pork” at a hearing on Prop 12. But before pork is a product, it’s a pig—smart, social, and stuck in a cage. Tell Congress: Oppose the #SaveOurBaconAct. 🐷 #Prop12 #AnimalWelfare #FactoryFarming

CIWF was in touch with @gaeacabico.bsky.social regarding a Welfare Footprint Institute report highlighting that slower-growing chicken breeds suffer much less than those bred to grow unnaturally fast. Full story from @sentientmedia.org: sentientmedia.org/slower-growi...

Our #EndIt petition calling for a fairer food system has hit one MILLION signatures! 🎉 This is a major victory for animals, people and the planet. We’ll soon hand it over to world leaders at the UN. Thank you for your support. 💚

Just 10 days left to sign our petition to end factory farming ‼️ #EndIt Help us call on global leaders to deliver fair reform to our food system: ciwf.end.it/sign/

Factory farming causes immense suffering to billions of animals, jeopardizes our health and harms the planet. Help us urge world leaders to #EndIt for good: END.IT

#ProtectProp12 Stop the power grab!! House Ag Committee had a meeting this morning to allow the Big AG to try once again to void states rights. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @housegop.bsky.social @forbes.com @booker.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com

Again, claims that #Prop12 “dramatically” disrupts interstate commerce are overstated. The law simply sets humane standards for products sold in CA, just like other states regulate safety and labeling.

REMINDER: Gestation crates are tiny metal cages where pregnant pigs are trapped, unable to turn, lie down comfortably, or even nest. They spend most of their lives confined like this, stripped of dignity and natural behavior. This is cruelty, plain and simple. #EndGestationCrates #AnimalWelfare

Bills like EATS threaten to override democratically elected policies like Prop 12, stripping states of their power to set animal welfare standards that reflect voters’ values. Democracy means respecting local voices over corporate interests, people over profit. #Prop12 #AnimalWelfare #Democracy

Animal welfare laws have long been managed by states, allowing policies that reflect local values, farming practices, and community needs. State authority ensures flexibility and innovation while keeping regulations practical and effective. #StatesRights #AnimalWelfare

Science shows pigs deserve enough space to move freely, turn around, lie down comfortably, and express natural behaviors. They’re intelligent, social animals—not just commodities. Humane treatment isn’t optional; it’s a scientific and ethical imperative. #AnimalWelfare #Prop12

Critics say Prop 12 isn’t “science-based” but decades of research show pigs suffer in extreme confinement. Science supports giving animals space to move, lie down, and express natural behaviors. Prop 12 is grounded in both evidence and ethics. #AnimalWelfare #Prop12

14 states have laws regulating how pigs and other farm animals are treated. Ten states ban cruel gestation crates. Prop 12 is part of a growing movement to ensure pigs can move, lie down, and live with dignity. It's time more states followed suit. 🐖 #AnimalWelfare #Prop12

Prop 12 is a crucial first step toward a future where pigs are treated with dignity and respect. We must keep pushing for standards that ensure humane living conditions for all farm animals. #AnimalWelfare #Prop12
