Great to see 20 MPs attending Adrian Ramsay MP’s debate on welfare in British farming in UK Parliament. Adrian led with a call to improve standards and enforcement, including a swift timetable to end use of farrowing crates. Josh Newbury MP calls for big improvements on labelling 👏

Well done to Humane World for Animals UK for a very well organised and timely event in Parliament, this evening, on ending the use of farrowing crates. Particularly powerful speech by former vet Alice Brough. And very impressive model (moving!) pig in crate

We were at the Houses of Parliament yesterday with our animatronic pig and replica farrowing crate showing the cruel confinement of mother pigs on British farms. Huge thanks to Irene Campbell MP (Irene Campbell MP) for hosting our event!

Thank you @ruthjoneslabour for PMQ to UK Prime Minister urging @defragovuk to support a #FurFreeBritain. The Animal Welfare Committee's search for 'responsibly sourced fur' will be futile, there's no such thing! Ruth's Bill for a sales ban puts more compassion in British fashion!

Really good event in UK Parliament hosted by Humane World for Animals UK & Irene Campbell MP. Currently, over 200,000 sows in the UK are kept in cruel farrowing crates, denying normal behaviours such as nesting & simply being able to turn around. Need to ban these crates ASAP. #AnimalWelfare

A new paper published today in Royal Society Publishing highlights further flaws in the justification used for the unscientific and inhumane badger cull. We're calling on the Government to end this unnecessary practice, which has claimed the lives of over 240,000 badgers since 2013. 🦡

.Neil Hudson chaired today’s APGAW meeting with reports from many NGOs exposing deficiencies in animal welfare law enforcement, plus great insights from local authorities and vets on challenges and solutions. Room was like a sauna, definitely some human welfare challenges!🥵

This evening we're honouring Cecil the lion, ten years after his life was cruelly ended by a trophy hunter. Please help us urge the Government to honour its manifesto commitment for a ban on hunting trophy imports and #GetTheBanDone by taking action here: action.humaneworld.org/page/168455/ac…

Labour's first animal law change is an exasperating downturn in animal protections, legalising the inhumane practice of catching chickens by their legs. Voters want the "biggest boost" for animal welfare in a generation that they were promised. Read more⬇️ bit.ly/40j0ZAq
