Our silent protest in front of the Polish parliament. Blindfolded, holding photos of animals from our latest investigation, we urged politicians not to look away from their suffering. MPs are scheduled to start debating the bill on banning fur farming at a parliamentary committee next week.

“Try finding any other issue that 88 percent of Americans can agree on today” – Lewis Bollard takes a calm, factual look at the moral crisis that is factory farming, pointing out that most people consider standard, everyday animal farming practices unacceptably cruel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvLn...

At the beginning of March we took part in the AI for Animals (@aiforanimals.bsky.social) conference, where our French branch director gave a talk about our work on the EU AI code of practice. You can now watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAMf... #FutureOfAI #AIEthics #AnimalWelfare #EUpolicy

The egg industry routinely kills millions of male chicks every year. Ending this practice would prevent enormous suffering . We've been working with researchers and politicians pushing for this change. In-ovo sexing technology could be the solution: www.vox.com/future-perfe... #animalrights

Important and well made video on the problems of factory farming. No matter what you think about eating meat, the current absurd system serves no one. As @kurzgesagt.org explains, we lock animals in crammed torture chambers. Companies can change it, they just need to see we do care. #animalwelfare

In France, we ran a successful campaign for years. But then, we decided to break the “stick with what works” rule. Our French director Keyvan explains why in the latest blog post: animainternational.org/blog/france-... #AnimalWelfare #AnimalAdvocacy #NGOwork

Today, EU Commission @ec.europa.eu published its new Vision for Agriculture and Food. It commits to: ✅ Revising #animalwelfare legislation and phasing out cages ✅ Holding imported products to the same welfare standards ✅ A welfare labeling scheme to help consumers make ethical choices

One of the biggest causes of animal suffering is the use of fast-growing chicken breeds. These "frankenchickens" are bred to gain weight so rapidly that their bodies can't keep up, leading to lifetime of severe pain, or death from organ failure. 🧵 Here's how our Danish team is working to help them:

👏🏻 Waitrose becomes the 5th major UK retailer to stop suffocation slaughter for farmed prawns. This decision follows talks with animal advocates and mounting scientific evidence that decapod crustaceans can experience pain 🦐 #AnimalWelfare #CrustaceanWelfare www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Today, at our press conference in front of the Polish Prime Minister's office, former British Fur Trade Association CEO Mike Moser urged PM @donald-tusk.bsky.social to end fur farming in Poland ✊ Having worked in the industry for over a decade, he now strongly supports campaigns to end this practice

On Wednesday we represented animal interests at an event in Brussels organised by @eurogroupforanimals.org and @ciwf.eu 🇪🇺 @ec.europa.eu Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi outlined plans for improving animal welfare legislation. We’re hoping that concrete actions will follow. #EUpolicy #animalwelfare

🎉 As of 1 February 2025, fur farming is officially illegal in Norway. The country passed the ban in 2019, allowing a six-year phase-out period. However, the last farms closed ahead of schedule in early 2023. #animalrights #furfree #animaladvocacy

🐄Farmed animals are still being kept under welfare standards that are nearly 30 years old—but science has moved on. @ec.europa.eu proposed a revision by 2023. It never happened ❌ ⏳With just over a week until their new Work Program, we urge: Act now for #AnimalWelfare!

🇸🇮 Slovenia's Ministry of Agriculture declares a goal of ending caged farming by 2028. www.gov.si/novice/2025-... 👏🏻 Kudos to aetp.si/home whose campaigning and investigations helped drive this change We're hoping this will accelerate the EU work to #endthecageage #animalrights #cage-free
