An appeal to the Commission to bring the Swedish infringement case on wolves before the European Court of Justice. Sweden is ignoring the requirements of the Habitats Directive and continues hunting its small and endangered wolf population. ☹️ www.brusselstimes.com/opinion/1549...

Despite promises & rules in place, it's “business-as-usual” re antibiotic use in animals, keeping factory farming alive. 1st report by European Medicines Agency warns of incomplete & inconsistent reporting from member states. Mass treatment seems to be the norm. www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/firs...

~100 ppl @ the launch of our joint exhibit on factory farming! Thank YOU to co-host MEPs @tillymetz.bsky.social @manuelaripa.bsky.social @krzysztofsmiszek.bsky.social, Michal Wiezik & @anjahazekamp.bsky.social Thanks @marcangel-mep.bsky.social @nielsfuglsang.bsky.social & S. Everding for speaking!

Today's roundtable hosted by @marianoichl.bsky.social on improving chicken welfare at @⁦Europarl_EN⁩ organized by @animalprotection.bsky.social ⁦@humaneworldeurope.bsky.social @albert-schweitzer.bsky.social ⁩ Essere Animali⁦⁦ @associationl214.bsky.social ⁦ @obrancizvirat.bsky.social ⁩ 🐥🐓

At ⁦@Europarl_EN event “the TRUTH about dairy” hosted by MEPs Sebastian Everding & ⁦⁦@anjahazekamp.bsky.social Looking at welfare problems i.e. tethering, separation of cow & calf, ….. Transition to healthy #plant-based alternatives would remove the cruelty involved.

Common cruel practices in animal farming are censored in order to maintain an idyllic perception which is deceitful. There is extreme animal suffering in factory farms across Europe. MEPs ought to be fully aware of the REALITY. Exhibition by @animallaweurope.bsky.social and @eeb.org

Factory farming is something we all pay for - especially in hidden environment & health costs. I’ll be at this exhibition launch later today representing @animalprotection.bsky.social

Our exhibition w/ @eeb.org "Factory Farming: Unveiling the Hidden Costs" at @europarl.europa.eu. Launch Tue 13.00 w/ guest speaker Jo Anne McArthur of @weanimals.bsky.social Hosts @tillymetz.bsky.social @manuelaripa.bsky.social @krzysztofsmiszek.bsky.social Michal Wiezik @anjahazekamp.bsky.social

At @Europarl_EN AGRI/TRAN meeting on #transport proposal, MEPs point to contradicting interests between those who support #AnimalWelfare and those who put profits above everything else. Passionate speeches by MEPs below. 🙌 "Animal wellbeing should be the point of departure".

EU national governments have agreed to exempt new GMOs from the EU rules supposed to protect people and nature - and farmers' livelihoods The EU Parliament must now stand up for citizens and farmers who don't want unregulated GMOs on their plates or in their fields #GMOs #NGTs

@changingmarkets and @mightyearth.org have launched a new Methane Action Tracker that shows none of the top 20 US & European supermarkets publicly report methane separately—despite meat and dairy emissions representing nearly half their climate impact. Green promises without real action.

💔 Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi at the AW Intergroup today focused on farmers, economy, imports 🧑‍⚖️New proposal on #EndtheCageAge: hens first. Nothing yet on other work areas. More attention to enforcement of existing rules. ❓Why is #AnimalWelfare receiving so little attention this term?

Today's plenary session with @christophehansen.bsky.social 🙂Good point by @tillymetz.bsky.social: while the revision of #AnimalWelfare legislation is mentioned in the Vision document, it is missing references to limiting animal products and increasing plant-based foods.

Today's @europarl.europa.eu plenary session with @christophehansen.bsky.social speaking on the Vision for Agriculture & Food @thomaswaitz.bsky.social supports building a partnership with farmers to ensure biodiversity

🏦 We’re urging @WorldBank to #StopFinancingFactoryFarming & invest in #SustainableAgriculture instead. 🐔 Factory farms fuel #BirdFlu & pandemic risks—while treating animals like machines. 📢 Read our joint letter → tinyurl.com/2vd2vptf

How sad to see that certain people refuse to accept that bad things happen in our own back yard! Even worse, those people turn a blind eye to suffering, just because they want to maintain the cruel industry's profits!

Join us in March at @europarl.europa.eu for “#FactoryFarming: Unveiling the Hidden Costs” with @eeb.org & MEPs. 📷 Striking images reveal the cruelty & environmental impact of #FactoryFarming.

Completely agree - a shift towards more plant-based consumption is crucial for the much-needed reduction in animal numbers in farming, as well as impacting animal welfare, climate change, public health, and more 🌱

🥕 The EU’s #Agriculture & #Food vision ignores the need for dietary change. 🌿 More #PlantBased consumption is vital to cut farm animal numbers, boost #AnimalWelfare, fight #climate change and improve public #health. 💪 Bolder action is needed! More → tinyurl.com/2dt6937p #SustainableFoodSystems

🐑🗨️Our Director of Advocacy, @olgakikou.bsky.social, was quoted in a @brusselstimes.com article about what’s missing for animals in the @ec.europa.eu's new Vision for #Agriculture and #Food. Read the article → tinyurl.com/55dnhrjb #EndTheCageAge #AnimalWelfare

🐖@ec.europa.eu’s Vision talks #AnimalWelfare but focuses on “fair competition,” not real change. 🗝️Cages are there—but no other issues or concrete actions. 🧑‍🌾 Promised reforms are tied to impact on farmers—leaving room for lobbyists to stall progress. More → tinyurl.com/2dt6937p #EndTheCageAge

The Vision for Agriculture and Food is out: 👍cages mentioned but waiting to see whether promises will materialize! 🌿missing any mention of the urgent need for a shift to more #PlantBased food ☹️ #EndTheCageAge #SustainableFoodSystems

⏰ The EU Commission unveils its Vision for #Food & #Agriculture soon. 🎉The leak mentions a review of #animalwelfare law…but, it seems, only to ensure that imported products meet EU standards. ❓Vague language won't get results for animals! Read more → tinyurl.com/ytmyjnru

A new report by Changing Markets & Greenpeace Nordic exposes Arla's dubious #Dairytales: - No methane reduction targets despite it making up 43% of farm emissions - Only 1 out of 9 relevant UN net zero guidelines fully met - Lobbying against dairy alternatives bit.ly/42WjdJU

Current slaughter legislation still allows cruel practices: 🐖CO₂ for #pigs 🐔Electrified water baths for #poultry 🐟Inhumane methods on #fish farms Whatever happened to @ec.europa.eu's proposal for a revision of the slaughter regulation? #EndAnimalSuffering #animalwelfare

On #WorldCancerDay MEPs @tillymetz.bsky.social Manuela Ripa, Biljana Borzan & Laurent Castillo hosted an important event 'Nutrition as Prevention' at @europarl.europa.eu Health advocates & retailers calling for a transition to more plant-based diets 🍋🍐🥕🫐🥦🍎 ⁩

"Plant-based foods are the future"! Jacob Jensen While Denmark is pushing ahead with the action plan for #plantbased foods, the pressure is mounting on the EU Commission to respond with a similar #EU-wide plan. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

⏰ As the launch of the Vision for #Agriculture and #Food approaches, we call on @CHansenEU and the @EU_Commission to support fair, #sustainable #FoodSystems that benefit consumers, animals, nature AND farmers! 👉 Here's the joint letter from December: bit.ly/4hgdl2w

We also hope #EBAF isn’t going to be like other platforms, all talk and no action! Besides setting up dialogue groups, we expect the @EU_Commission to deliver on its commitments, some of them from years back. #AnimalWelfare #endthecageage #revision
