❗ATTENTION: The Australian Chicken Industry…    Consumers want better animal welfare standards for chickens. This means slower growing, higher welfare chicken breeds.    Together with, the Australian Alliance for Animals and Animals Aotearoa we’re campaigning for serious changes to the welfare of chickens bred for meat.    Find out more about how we’re protecting chickens ➡️ https://bit.ly/4csqLpf 

Set your watches. This afternoon marks the launch of 2023 Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare. The new benchmark is set to reveal that 95% of global food giants acknowledge the importance of animal welfare and are addressing it with policy commitments and clearer governance. #BBFAW #Animalwelfare

If you eat chicken and pork, hopefully you'll care about the conditions in which animals are reared and killed. In a world of intentionally confusing labelling by food producers and supermarkets, the government is currently running a consultation on mandatory, standardised food labelling so that shoppers can genuinely tell if animals have been treated well and killed humanely (well, you know what I mean). Two-thirds of people find labelling about animal welfare opaque. I contacted RSPCA Assured­ to check the scope of the consultation and they've advised that unfortunately: "The consultation set out by the UK Government currently applies to all unprocessed pork, chicken and eggs and certain prepacked and loose minimally processed products with pork, chicken or egg." They'd like it to go further, as would I, in fact it would be great if it eventually covered processed foods, but I guess it's a start. Anyway, here's link to the RSPCA Assured­ webpage if you want to submit your response. It's very easy - all you have to do is provide your details and your submission is processed automatically without having to complete any detailed forms. Sign up and share if you can. It closes in a couple of weeks. PS I tried the veganism thing but it didn't work for me. #animalwelfare #food #chickens #pork #foodlabelling #foodstandards

Our latest video highlights a pressing issue - the welfare of chickens 🐔. Along with The Humane League UK and Dr Marc Abraham OBE, we are demanding upholding the legal protection for the unlawful and harmful chicken handling practices in the UK. Carrying chickens by their legs poses serious risks of injury and stress, going against both animal welfare and existing laws. Not only that, the Animal Welfare Committee has just recommended changing the law to allow chickens to be picked up by the legs. Let's stand together for change and protect our feathered friends.

Over 100 people from food companies, investors and the animal welfare community will gather at the London Stock Exchange today to discuss the relaunch of the Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare #BBFAW. This piece by Nicky Amos explores why the issue of animal welfare is rising up the #ESG agenda, and where the food sector is - and is not - performing when it comes to tangible welfare benefits for farm animals in their global supply chain. https://lnkd.in/eP9MakWu

The Five Domains framework is a way of thinking about animal welfare – going beyond just eliminating or minimizing negative experiences to achieve a neutral state of animal welfare 🐾 Instead, we’re encouraging positive experiences in four functional domains, which affect the fifth domain, the animal’s mental state 💜 Read all about The Five Domains in our latest blog at https://buff.ly/3tV5OTm 🐶🐱🐰

Premier's Department NSW Department of the Premier and Cabinet (Queensland) #youbettheydie #EndGreyhoundRacing #animalwelfare #animalcruelty #fivefreedoms The blind and callous indifference from the Government which willingly enables and encourages this anachronistic industry of cruelty is absolutely indefensible. The continued addiction to supporting ethically barren profiteering from cruelty must stop, now. Around the world #greyhoundracing is dying, with only a tiny number (thankfully dwindling e.g. Connecticut and New Hampshire) of jurisdictions still clinging onto this foul business of exploitation and suffering. In the 21st century, the racing of #greyhounds is a most odious anathema. Government complicity in this cruelty in deliberate and self-serving ignorance of the overwhelming and incontrovertible evidence of the systemic cruelty exposes a void of compassion or even the barest lip-service to contemporary standards and community expectations regarding animal welfare. Be at peace, Ashton Shaker, Qatar Angel, Pennyroal Tea, and all who have had their lives robbed for the sake of the depravity of some of our species. Your lives mattered, not for the dollars of your exploiters, but for their innate value. Susanna Toma SAFE Debra Ashton Chris Cavaliere Anjan Cariappa M M A. E.

"Today and every day, let’s recognize the importance of animal welfare. Together, we can create a world where all creatures thrive. 🦁🐆🐄 #Omeecron #OmeecronSolutions #AnimalWelfare #AnimalWelfareDay #World #AnimalWelfareMatters #CompassionInAction"

As we are celebrating World Animal Day today, let us recognise the importance of a sustainable food supply chain and animal welfare. These issues are significant concerns for consumers. The ESG implications and impacts are also concerns for the food industry. Let's examine some cases of animal mistreatment reported at Smithfield Foods, McDonald's and Tyson Foods. #ConnectingSustainabilityToStrategy #sustainablebusiness #esgstrategy #foodsupply #animalwelfare #worldanimalday

PROGRESS: it's so important that trade deals are not allowed to undercut UK animal welfare standards, setting off a race to the bottom that we'll never win. We've always maintained that lowering animal welfare should be a non-negotiable, so it's promising to see the UK standing firm on our hormone-treated beef ban. More of this, please.
