Thanks to your unwavering support and advocacy, we just won the world’s first-ever shrimp welfare campaign! This monumental win will impact five billion animals every year. In a landmark move, Tesco, the UK’s largest supermarket chain, announced that they will phase out “eyestalk ablation”—cutting off shrimps’ eyes—by 2026! The company will also ensure that 100% of their shrimp are electrically stunned, not immersed in ice slurry—an outdated and inhumane stunning practice. This is not just a milestone for shrimp welfare. It’s a call to action for the entire seafood industry and a sign that change is possible! Together, we can ensure that all animals, regardless of size or species, are treated with the compassion and respect they deserve.

Have you seen animal transport trucks on the highway? According to an analysis, animal transport conditions are so horrific that more than 20 million farmed animals die each year before reaching the slaughterhouse. In summer, temperatures inside trucks rise to well over 100°F, and many animals suffer heat stress and heart attacks. Please join Mercy For Animals in calling on the USDA and Department of Transportation to modernize U.S. animal transport laws! Link below. https://lnkd.in/gfmy684y

This Transfarmation™ hub has long been a goal of the Transfarmation team — at least three years in the making. The hub aims to demonstrate how transitioning out of #FactoryFarming into #SpecialtyCrop production is not only possible but #profitable and #sustainable. Tom and Sokchea Lim, once #PoultryFarmers, are now at the forefront of specialty-crop farming. After transitioning with the support of Transfarmation, they have succeeded in growing and selling specialty crops. Their story offers an opportunity to explore how a shift from factory farming can lead to both #economic stability and #environmental sustainability. On September 6, we will celebrate the official opening of the demonstration hub with a ribbon cutting. Set a reminder, and check in with us for live updates from this special event!

Reporter Cara Buckley details Tanner Faaborg’s mission to help his family leave hog farming without losing the investment in their barns—and how The Transfarmation Project® was able to help. “I want to make rural America a place where people want to live and grow up in.” —Tanner Faaborg, 1100 farm Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gxNMApbm

Baby pigs on a factory farm will likely never see the sky and engage in many of their natural behaviors, such as grazing and sleeping in the sun. They are usually taken away from their mothers after just three weeks. Pigs have a maternal instinct to protect their piglets, but the bars of farrowing crates restrain the mothers as workers take their babies away. The mothers are then impregnated again after a mere five to seven days. We can always make a difference for pigs—and all animals! Share the pledge with your family and friends today. https://lnkd.in/gaaqDrWU
