@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

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

Rep. Finstad asks questions about the treatment of animals, focusing on feed, health, etc. What wasn't asked--do these pigs have space to turn around? Do they have space to comfortably lie down? #Prop12

Prop 12 wasn’t dreamed up by outsiders—it was shaped by farmers, experts, and advocates who understand hog barns firsthand. Real change comes from listening to those who know the industry inside and out. #Prop12 #FarmersVoices #AnimalWelfare

Prop 12 pushes back against industry conglomerates that wield outsized control over farm practices, forcing farmers to conform to profit-driven standards. It’s a needed step to restore more ethics and fairness in agriculture. #Prop12 #BigAg #AnimalWelfare

Sorenson states that Prop 12 isn’t about new rules—it’s a return to traditional farming practices that prioritize animal welfare and responsible care. It sets a baseline that reflects how farming was done before industrial shortcuts took over. #Prop12 #BetterFarming

Farming is about animal stewardship, not politics. No consumer objects to basic welfare standards—Prop 12’s ideas are simply what responsible farmers have always embraced as the norm. Good farming is good farming, period. #AnimalWelfare #Prop12

Schuiteman deflects answering how #Prop12 would harm sows. Instead, reiterates that producers should have the ability to raise their sows how they see fit.

Brown states that.... Congress stepping in to overturn policies upheld by voters and affirmed by the Supreme Court raises serious questions about respect for democratic processes and separation of powers. This kind of federal override is both rare and highly controversial.

Brown on #Prop12: "This is settled law." #ProtectProp12

Brown states that Federal one-size-fits-all policies often ignore the realities farmers & businesses face on the ground. Meanwhile, major ag companies have already adapted their supply chains to changing markets. Instead of overriding state rules, let’s focus on practical, local solutions that work.

The #EATSAct isn’t about “freedom.” It’s a federal shield for the biggest meat giants. Kill state standards, trigger a race to the bottom only megacorps can win—squeezing small farms & driving market concentration. Fewer choices, more corporate power.

A recent study shows 66% of U.S. pork consumers oppose gestation crates and prefer pork from pigs raised with better welfare. This growing awareness is shaping buying habits and boosting demand for humane pork. #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare #FarmBill2025

#Prop12 sets standards for pork sold in California, not exported abroad. It doesn’t apply to exports, and global demand for higher-welfare products is growing. U.S. producers can lead by meeting both domestic and international expectations. #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare

Adams points out that there are many farmers who are benefiting from #Prop12 and asks: "Why is the NPPC working against these farmers?" #ProtectProp12
